Temperature
NOTE:
Automatic climate control will allow you to maintain a preset
cabin temperature.
The heater and defroster work best when the blue coolant
temperature light in the instrument cluster is off.
NOTE:
• Rotating the fan control dial, or pushing the MODE button, A/C switch, or
windshield defroster switch while in AUTO ON mode will cancel auto A/C.
• With any defroster mode, the system turns on the A/C compressor and
selects the FRESH AIR mode. This helps defrost the windows more
efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The A/C compressor will always be on in
defroster mode, but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm air when the
temperature dial is set to a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.
REAR vENT SYSTEM
1 Turn the front air
conditioning system on
(AUTO or manually).
2 Push the rear ventilation
control switch
located on the front
climate control panel,
or push either the low
or high rear vent
button on the rear
console (indicator light
will illuminate).
NOTE:
Only cool or cold air (no heat) blows through the rear vents while
the front climate control is on. Heat for the rear passengers comes from
under the front seats when the front heater is on and set to floor mode. When
pushing the rear ventilation control switch on the front control panel (with climate
control system on), the rear ventilation system operates at low speed only. To
change to high speed, push the HI rear vent button.
NOTE:
The displayed outside ambient temperature may vary from the actual
ambient temperature depending on the surrounding area and vehicle conditions.
The best time to read the ambient temperature is when the vehicle is moving at a
steady rate of speed and not when moving slow in traffic.
