WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner.

NOTE:
• Odors from inside and outside the ve-hicle can build up in the air conditioner
unit. Odor can enter the passenger
compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling or heating (auto)
This mode may be normally used all year
round as the system automatically works
to keep a constant temperature. Air flow
distribution and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
1. Press the AUTO button on.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the lef t or right to set the desired temperature.
Driver and passenger temperatures can
be set independently. Press DUAL to ac-
tivate dual climate control functions.
Turn the passenger's side temperature
control dial to the lef t or right to set the
desired passenger's temperature. • Adjust the temperature dial to about 75°F
(24°C) for normal operation.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution, fan speed and
A/C on/off are also controlled automati-
cally.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the
air is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate
a malfunction.
Heating (A/C OFF)
The air conditioner does not activate. When
you need to heat only, use this mode.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati-
cally. Air flow distribution and fan speed
are also controlled automatically.
• Do not set the temperature lower than the outside air temperature. Otherwise,
the system may not work properly.
• Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or
defogging
1. Push thedefroster control switch
to turn the system on. The indicator light
in the button will illuminate.
2. Turn the temperature dial to the lef t or right to set the desired temperature.
• To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, turn the manual fan control
to the maximum position.
• As soon as possible af ter the windshield is clean, press the AUTO button to return
to the auto mode.
• When the
control is activated, the air
conditioner will automatically be turned
on at outside temperatures above 36°F
(2°C). If in defrost mode for more than 1
minute, the air conditioning system will
continue to operate until the fan control
is turned OFF, the vehicle is shut off or the
A/C button is used to turn off the com-
pressor even if an air flow button other
than
is selected. This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment to fur-
ther improve the defogging perfor-
mance.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensorO1, located on the top
center of the instrument panel, helps the
system maintain a constant temperature.
Do not put anything on or around this sen-
sor.
• When the engine coolant temperature and outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate for a maximum of 150 seconds.
However, this is not a malfunction. Af ter
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.

Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position (usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter), static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the treble
control to reduce treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics,
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped)
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with satellite radio ON and the ve-
hicle outside of any metal or large building
for satellite radio to receive all of the neces-
sary data.
No satellite radio reception is available and
“NO SAT” is displayed when the SAT band
option is selected unless optional satellite
receiver and antenna are installed and a
SiriusXM® Satellite Radio service subscrip-
tion is active. Satellite radio is not available
in Alaska, Hawaii and Guam.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the satel-
lite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio an-
tenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

tion when the compartment tempera-
ture is extremely high or low. Decrease/
increase the temperature before use.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight.
• CDs that are in poor condition or are
dirty, scratched or covered with finger-
prints may not work properly. •
The following CDs may not work prop-
erly: – Copy Control Compact Discs (CCCD)
– Recordable Compact Discs (CD-R)
– Rewritable Compact Discs (CD-RW)
•
Do not use the following CDs as they may
cause the CD player to malfunction:
– 3.1 in (8 cm) discs with an adapter
– CDs that are not round
– CDs with a paper label
– CDs that are warped, scratched, or
have abnormal edges
• This audio system can only play pre-

following messages will be displayed.
CHECK DISC:
––
Confirm that the CD is inserted cor-
rectly (the label side is facing up, etc.).
–– Confirm that the CD is not bent or
warped and it is free of scratches.
PRESS EJECT:
This is an error due to excessive tem-
perature inside the player. Remove the
CD by pressing the EJECT button. Af ter
a short time, reinsert the CD. The CD
can be played when the temperature
of the player returns to normal. UNPLAYABLE:
The file is unplayable in this audio sys-
tem (only MP3 or WMA CD).
Compact disc with MP3 or WMA (if
so equipped)
Terms
• MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the
most well-known compressed digital au-
dio file format. This format allows for near
“CD quality” sound, but at a fraction of the
size of normal audio files. MP3 conversion
of an audio track from CD-ROM can re-
duce the file size by approximately a 10:1
ratio with virtually no perceptible loss in
quality. MP3 compression removes the
redundant and irrelevant parts of a
sound signal that the human ear doesn’t
hear.
• WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA)* is a compressed audio format created by Mi-
crosof t as an alternative to MP3. The WMA
codec offers greater file compression
than the MP3 codec, enabling storage of
more digital audio tracks in the same
amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.
