9(Fan Control):Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
The fan must be on to run the air conditioning
compressor.
Temperature Control:Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature inside the vehicle.
When it is cold outside−18°C (0°F) or lower, use the
engine coolant heater, if the vehicle has one, to quickly
provide warmer air. An engine coolant heater warms
coolant that the engine uses to warm the inside of the
vehicle. For more information, seeEngine Coolant
Heater on page 3-23.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to change the air delivery settings.
Select from the following modes:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the air to the
instrument panel and floor outlets. Some air may
be directed toward the side windows.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the floor outlets with
some air directed to the side window outlets and
windshield.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and floor
outlets, with some air directed to the side windows.
When this mode is selected, the system automatically
turns off recirculation and tuns the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is at
or below freezing. The air conditioning compressor
operates although the indicator light is not on. The air
conditioning indicator light turns off when defog is
selected. If the air conditioning button is pressed while
in defog mode, the indicator light turns on. If the
button is pressed again, the light turns off. The
recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the defog
mode. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
1(Defrost):This mode clears the windshield of fog
or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield,
with some air directed to the floor vents. In this
mode, the system automatically forces outside air into
the vehicle. The air conditioning compressor runs unless
the outside temperature is at or below freezing. The
air conditioning compressor operates although the
indicator light is not on. The air conditioning indicator
light turns off when defrost is selected. If the air
conditioning button is pressed while in defrost mode, the
indicator light turns on. If the button is pressed again,
the light turns off. Recirculation cannot be selected while
in the defrost mode.

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 the vehicle has the remote start feature, the climate
control display initially shows “RS” 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 7°C (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
The air delivery mode or fan speed can be manually
adjusted.
9(Off):Turns off the entire climate control system.
Outside air still enters the vehicle, and is directed to the
floor. This direction can be changed by adjusting the
air delivery mode position.
9(Fan Control):Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
xwTemperature Control:Press the up and down
arrows to increase or decrease the temperature
inside the vehicle.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to change the air delivery settings.
Select from the following modes:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel and floor outlets.
