Automatic Climate Control System
If your vehicle has this system, you can
automatically control the heating, cooling and
ventilation in your vehicle.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):Select AUTO on both the fan
speed control and the air delivery mode control
knobs to activate the automatic system. Automatic
operation controls the inside temperature and
air delivery.Use the steps below to place the climate control
system in automatic mode:
1. Turn the fan knob and the mode knob
to AUTO.
The display shows the current set temperature.
When auto is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet is automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor
runs when the outside temperature is over
about 40°F (4°C). The air inlet is normally set to
outside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet can
automatically switch to recirculate inside air to
help quickly cool down your vehicle.
2. Set the temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with an initial
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to regulate. Press the up or down
arrow temperature buttons to adjust the
temperature setting as necessary. If you
choose the temperature setting of 60°F (15°C)
the system remains at the maximum cooling
setting. If you choose the temperature setting of
90°F (32°C) the system remains at the
maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool 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.
Also be careful not to cover the sensor grille
on the lower right side of the climate
control faceplate. This senses the inside
vehicle temperature needed for proper
regulation.
To avoid blowing cold air at start-up in cold
weather, the system delays turning on the fan
until warm air is available. The length of
delay depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Turning the fan knob overrides
this delay and change the fan to a selected
speed.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the
climate control display initially shows “AS” in place
of the temperature to indicate the remote start
has been activated. The remote start system turns
on using the last temperature selected before
the vehicle was last turned off.For best performance, turn the fan and mode
knobs to the AUTO position. The fan speed and
air delivery modes will change to achieve the best
comfort.
If the outside air temperature is below 45°F and
the air delivery mode knob is set to AUTO,
the automatic climate control system starts in the
defrost mode to clear the window.
The automatic climate control changes back to
manual operation by turning the vehicle on with
the key.
Manual Operation
You can manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
9(Off):Select this position on the fan knob to
turn off the entire climate control system.
Outside air will still enter the vehicle, and be
directed to the oor. This direction can be changed
by changing the mode position. The temperature
can also be adjusted using either the up or
down arrow temperature buttons.
9(Fan):Turn the knob with the fan symbol to
manually adjust the fan speed.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United
States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
When in manual shift mode, the odometer will
change from the vehicle’s mileage to the letter M,
for manual mode, and a number indicating the
requested gear range when moving the shift lever
forward or rearward. For more information see
Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 129.
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
Repair or replacement of your instrument panel
cluster should only be performed by your dealer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can display how far you have
driven since you last reset it.
For more information seeDIC Operation and
Displays on page 209.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows
your engine speed in
revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by your warranty. Do not
operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded warning area.

Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag’s electrical
system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there
is an electrical problem. The system check
includes the airbag sensors, the airbag modules,
the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the airbag system, seeAirbag
System on page 76.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will ash
for a few seconds.
Then the light should go
out. This means the
system is ready.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly. The
airbags in your vehicle may not inate in
a crash, or they could even inate without
a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle serviced right
away if the airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle.
If there is a problem with the airbag system in
your vehicle, the SERVICE AIR BAG message will
appear on the DIC display. SeeDIC Warnings
