Comfort Controls
Air Conditioning with Electronic Controls
With this system, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. The system works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.Fan Knob
The left knob regulates the amount of air coming into
the vehicle. To turn the fan off, turn the knob to OFF.
The fan must be on for the air conditioning compressor
to operate.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan knob is
turned to the highest setting, regardless of the mode
setting, your passenger compartment air filter (if
equipped) may need to be replaced. See ªMaintenance
Scheduleº and ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº
in the Index.
Temperature Knob
The right knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob clockwise
(toward red) for warmer air. Turn it counterclockwise
(toward blue) for cooler air.

(Recirculation): This button is used to recirculate
much of the air inside your vehicle. This setting is not
available in defogger or defroster. Operating the system
in recirculation may cause the windows to fog up when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, use the
defog or defrost modes and increase the fan speed. To
avoid refogging of the windows, use the outside air
mode.
(Outside Air): This button is used to bring
outside air into the vehicle.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough
to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time
the compressor has to run, which should help with
fuel economy.
For quick cool
-down on very hot days, use the
vent outlets, recirculation with the temperature knob
turned all the way to the blue area, the air conditioner
on, and the fan on a high setting. If this setting is used
for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may
become too dry.For normal cooling on hot days, use the vent outlets
with the temperature knob turned to the blue area. With
the A/C button and the outside air button pressed in, the
system will bring in outside air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough. To
remedy this, you can use bi
-level with the temperature
knob in the middle with the A/C button and the outside
air button pressed. The system will bring in outside air
and direct it to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body. You may notice the
temperature difference more at some times than others.
Heating
On cold days turn the fan on and use floor and the
outside air button pressed in with the temperature knob
turned all the way to the red area. The system will bring
in outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside (0
F (
-18
C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See ªEngine Coolant
Heaterº in the Index.

DRIVER (Driver Temperature): This knob regulates
the temperature for the entire vehicle when the PASS
knob is in the center neutral position. Turn the DRIVER
knob clockwise (toward red) to raise the temperature.
Turn it counterclockwise (toward blue) to lower the
temperature. The display will show your selection for a
few seconds, then it will show the outside temperature.
If you press the knob, the set temperature will again
be displayed for a few seconds, followed by the
outside temperature.
PASS (Passenger's
Temperature): This knob
adjusts the air temperature
on the passenger's side
to be warmer or cooler
than the temperature set
by the driver.
Turn the PASS knob clockwise to raise the temperature.
Turn it counterclockwise to lower the temperature.
The passenger side temperature will not be shown in
the display.Off Button
Press the OFF button to turn the system off. The display
will show OFF and outside temperature.
Manual Control of the Automatic System
If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle, set the system to the
temperature and fan speed you want. Next, press the
mode button to select the desired airflow direction. The
system will try to maintain the temperature you set using
the mode you select. The following suggestions will
help the system run more efficiently in manual mode.
(Fan): The button with the fan symbol and the two
arrows located below the display is used to manually
select the force of air desired. The display will show the
fan speed.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan is turned
to the highest setting regardless of the setting, your
passenger compartment air filter may need to be
replaced. See ªMaintenance Scheduleº and
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.
