Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO button to set the system to automatically
control the air delivery mode, fan speed, air temperature
and recirculation operations. Whenever you press
AUTO, the display will change to show the current
driver's set temperature, automatic air delivery mode
and fan speed. Press the AUTO button again within
five seconds and the display will show the passenger's
set temperature. After five seconds the display will
change to the EXT (external) temperature outside
the vehicle.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning operation
and air inlet will be automatically controlled. The air
conditioning compressor will run when outside
temperature is over approximately 40
F (4
C).
The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it's
hot outside, the air inlet will automatically switch to
recirculated inside air to help quickly cool down
your vehicle.
To find your comfort setting, start with a 74
F (23
C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the
system to regulate. Turn the driver's or passenger's
side temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If you
choose the temperature setting of 60
F (15
C),
the system will remain at the maximum cooling settingand fan speed. If you choose the temperature setting
of 90
F (32
C), the system will remain at the
maximum heat setting and fan speed. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or
cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor
regulates air temperature based on sun load, and also
turns on your headlamps.
The EXT (exterior) temperature sensor is located in the
front of the vehicle behind the grille. The displayed
temperature is most accurate after the vehicle has been
moving for a few minutes. If the vehicle is stopped and
then restarted within 2 1/2 hours, the sensor will be hot
from the engine heat. In this case, the temperature first
displayed will continue to be the temperature that was
displayed before the vehicle was turned off. The display
will update after the vehicle has been moving for a few
minutes and the sensor has a chance to cool down to
the actual temperature.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on engine coolant
temperature. Pressing the fan switch will override
this delay and change the fan to a selected speed.

Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data

new features. With RDS, the radio can do the following:

Seek only to stations with the types of programs
you want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and

receive and display messages from radio stations.RDS features are only available on FM stations that
broadcast RDS information. The RDS features on your
radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from
these stations. These features will only work when the
RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, please contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for
their current programming.

light next to the button will turn on. The last selected
PTY will appear on the display for five seconds.

to listen to. Press SEEK SCAN to find radio stations
for that PTY. The last PTY selected will be used to

not found, NONE FOUND will appear on the display.
If both P
-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for stations with traffic announcements and the
selected PTY.

Overload Protection
The air suspension system is equipped with overload
protection. Overload protection is designed to protect
the air suspension system, and it is an indicator to the
driver that the vehicle is overloaded. When the overload
protection mode is on, it will not allow damage to the
air compressor. However, do not overload the vehicle.
See ªLoading Your Vehicleº earlier in this section.
If the suspension remains at a low height, the rear axle
load has exceeded GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating).
When the overload protection mode is activated, the
compressor operates for about 30 seconds to one minute
without raising the vehicle depending on the amount
of overload. This will continue each time the ignition is
turned on until the rear axle load is reduced below GAWR.
Indicator Light
The indicator light on the inflator switch in the rear
passenger compartment also serves as an indicator for
internal system error. If the indicator light is flashing
without the load leveling function or the inflator being
active, turn off the ignition. The next day turn on the
ignition and check the indicator light. The vehicle can
be driven with the light flashing, but if it is you should
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.Adding a Snow Plow or
Similar Equipment

snow plow.
NOTICE:
Adding a snow plow or similar equipment to
your vehicle can damage it, and the repairs
wouldn't be covered by warranty. Do not
install a snow plow or similar equipment on
your vehicle.
