Reading Lamps
The vehicle has reading lamps that also act as the
dome lamp. Press the button to turn them on
and off.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or a voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you
may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be
displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It
can increase engine idle speed to generate more
power, whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels,
without being noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action, this action may
be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Service
Battery Charging System. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as possible.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 239.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, defrost, defog, and ventilation of
the vehicle.
Manual Operation
9
(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise
to turn the front system off.Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature of the air owing
from the system.
Airow Mode Control:Turn the right knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airow
inside of the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of
the air to the instrument panel outlets and
half to the oor outlets. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the oor outlets.
194
ProCarManuals.com

6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
automatically selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected when in Floor Mode.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
By positioning the right knob between two modes,
a combination of those two modes is selected.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. The indicator light
on the button turns on when this mode is selected.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce the outside air
and odors entering the vehicle. Recirculation
may also help cool the air inside the vehicle more
quickly once the temperature inside the vehicle
is less than the outside temperature.The recirculation mode can be turned off in vent
and bi-level modes by pressing the button
again. Recirculation mode automatically turns off
when the engine is turned off and must be
re-selected when the engine is turned on again.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
ashes three times and turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comes on when this
mode is activated unless the outside air
temperature is less than 40°F (4°C). While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog,
select either the defog or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed.
195
ProCarManuals.com

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button on the
left knob to turn the air conditioning system on
or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator
light comes on to show that the air conditioning
has been activated. The air conditioning
compressor does not operate when outside
temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C). The indicator
light ashes three times and turns off when
outside conditions affect air conditioning operation.
This is normal.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape.
2. Select the vent mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has
escaped.
7. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is
below the outside temperature, select
recirculation mode for better cooling.This helps to reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may
cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the
inside of the vehicle has cooled, turn the
recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you might notice a small amount
of water dripping underneath the front center
and right rear of the vehicle while idling or after
turning off the engine. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the
cool window glass. This can be minimized if the
climate control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from the
windshield. Turn the right knob clockwise to select
the defog or defrost mode.
196
ProCarManuals.com

-(Defog):The defog mode is used to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. This mode directs air to the
windshield, oor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is less
than 40°F (4°C). The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):The defrost mode is used to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and side window vents and some to the
oor vents. In this mode, the system will
automatically force outside air into your vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless the
outside temperature is less than 40°F (4°C). Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
AUX (Auxiliary):Press this button to turn the rear
heating and air conditioning on. SeeRear Air
Conditioning and Heating System on page 206or
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating System and
Electronic Climate Controls on page 207.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
on the right knob to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. The rear window defogger
stays on about 10 minutes after the button
is pressed, before turning off. The defogger can
also be turned off by pressing the button again or
by turning off the engine. Do not drive the
vehicle until all the windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview
mirrors, the mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when the rear
window defog button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
