Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. A circuit breaker will
stop the motor until it cools down.
Rainsense™ II Wipers
For vehicles with Rainsense™ II
windshield wipers, the moisture
sensor is located next to the inside
rearview mirror and is mounted
on the windshield. When active,
these sensors are able to detect
moisture on the windshield and
automatically turn on the wipers.
To turn on the Rainsense feature,
the wipers must be set to one
of the ve delay settings on the
multifunction lever. Each of the
ve settings adjusts the sensitivity
of the sensor.Since different drivers have
different setting preferences, it is
recommended that the mid-range
setting (position 3) be used initially.
For more wipes, select the higher
settings; for fewer wipes, select the
lower settings located closer to the
off position on the multifunction lever.
The sensor will automatically control
the frequency of the wipes from the
off setting to the high speed setting
according to the weather conditions.
The wipers can be left in a rainsense
mode even when it is not raining.
When Rainsense is active, the
headlamps will turn on automatically
if the exterior lamp control is in the
AUTO position and the wipers are
active.
Notice:Going through an
automatic car wash with the
wipers on can damage them.
Turn the wipers off when going

run for a few cycles to clear the
windshield. For more wash cycles,
pull the lever forward and hold.
Heated Windshield Washer

Instrument Panel 3-17
ProCarManuals.com

The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or after
turning off the engine. This is normal.
;(Outside Air):Press to turn the
outside air mode on. An indicator
light comes on to show that outside
air is on. Air from outside the vehicle

used with the recirculation mode.
Pressing this button will cancel the
recirculation mode.
@(Recirculation):Press to
turn on the recirculation mode.
An indicator light comes on to show
that recirculation is on. This mode
recirculates and helps to quickly
cool or heat the air inside the vehicle.
It can be used to prevent outside air
and odors from entering the vehicle.
Avoid using the recirculation mode
during high periods of humidity
and cool outside temperatures
since this may result in increased
window fogging. If window fogging
is experienced, select the
defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in
oor, defog or defrost modes and will
shut off automatically and change to
outside air. The indicator will ash if
the button is selected in any of these
modes. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up
inside the vehicle.Rear Window Defogger

runs for approximately ve minutes
before turning off again. At higher
vehicle speeds, the defogger may
stay on continuously. The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off
the engine.

Automatic Operation
This climate control system
automatically maintains the desired
temperature inside the vehicle.
Do not cover the sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near
the windshield or the sensor grille
below the climate control faceplate.
These two sensors help regulate the
inside air temperature.
AUTO (Automatic Fan):Turn the
fan knob to AUTO for the system
to automatically adjust the fan
speed to reach the desired inside
temperature.
Temperature Control:Select
the desired cabin air temperature
between 60-90°F (16-32°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.AUTO (Automatic Air Delivery
Mode):Turn the air delivery mode
knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically control the direction
of the airow to help reach the
desired inside temperature.
The system automatically controls
the air inlet to supply the outside
air or recirculated inside air needed
to heat or cool the vehicle faster.
The recirculation button indicator
light is lit whenever the recirculation
mode is on.
Press the outside air button to
change to outside air. However,
the recirculation mode may
turn back on automatically.
In cold weather, if the fan and air
delivery modes are in automatic,
the system starts at lower fan speeds
to avoid directing cold air into the
vehicle until warmer air is available.
The climate control system directs
air to the oor, but may automaticallychange modes as the vehicle
warms up to maintain the chosen
temperature setting. The length of
time needed to warm the interior
depends on the outside temperature
and inside temperature of the
vehicle.
Manual Operation

or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the fan speed. To turn
the fan off, turn the left knob to
the
9position. In any setting other

Temperature Control:Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the
temperature. Select the desired
cabin air temperature between
60-90°F (16-32°C). Typically, the
best setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.

When this mode is selected, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in oor mode. This is
to help prevent window fogging.
-(Defog):This mode clears
the windows of fog or moisture.
Air is directed to the oor outlets,
with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
In this mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs the
air conditioning compressor unless
the outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defog mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
0(Defrost):This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and the side window
outlets. In this mode, the system
turns the recirculation mode off
automatically and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on to
show that the air conditioning is on.
