The controls for the manual system in this vehicle contain a series of outer rotary dials and inner push knobs. These comfort controls can be set to obtain desired interior conditions.

With the Three-Zone Temperature Control system, each front seat occupant can independently control the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning operations coming from the outlets on their side of the vehicle.

The primary control for the rear blower is on the front climate control unit located on the instrument panel.

When the front control is in any position other than rear, the front control operates all the rear functions.

The rear airflow modes will mirror the front unit operation.

Rear Panel mode is automatically selected when the front control is in the Panel mode. When the front unit is in Bi-Level mode, airflow will be emitted from both the upper and lower rear outlets. When the front control is in Floor, Defrost, or Mix modes, airflow will be directed out of the rear floor outlets.

Manual Temperature Control

1. Left Front Temperature Control

Provides left front seat occupant with independent temperature control. Turn left for cooler or right for warmer temperature settings.

2. Rear Blower Control — If Equipped

Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the rear system in any mode you select. The rear blower speed increases as you move the control to the right from the “O” (Off) position. There are seven blower speeds. To allow the rear overhead control, turn blower knob fully to the left, past The O off position.

3. Front Blower Control

Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the system in any mode you select. The blower speed increases as you move the control to the right from the “O” (Off) position. There are seven blower speeds.

NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the climate controls will not function during Remote Start operation if the blower control is left in the “O” (Off) position. Blower control should be left in the ON position to allow the climate control to either warm or cool the vehicle.

4. Rear Temperature Control — If Equipped

Provides temperature control for the rear cabin. Turn left for cooler or right for warmer temperature settings in the rear cabin.

5. Right Front Temperature Control

Provides right front seat occupant with independent temperature control. Turn left for cooler or right for warmer temperature settings.

6. Mix Mode

Air is directed through the floor, defrost and side window demist outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat at the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort, while reducing moisture on the windshield.

7. Front Defrost Mode

Air is directed through the windshield and side window demist outlets. Use Defrost mode with maximum blower and temperature settings for best windshield and side window defrosting.

NOTE:
The air conditioning compressor may operate in Mix and Defrost, or a blend of these modes even if the A/C button is not pressed. This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. To improve fuel economy, use these modes only when necessary.

8. Electronic Rear Window Defrost

Press this button to turn on the rear window defroster and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator in the button will illuminate when the rear window defroster is on. The rear window defroster automatically turns off after approximately 10 minutes. For an additional five minutes of operation, press the button a second time.

NOTE:
• You can turn off the heated mirror feature at anytime by pressing the rear window defroster switch a second time.
• To prevent excessive battery drain, use the rear window defroster only when the engine is operating.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

9. Recirculation Control Button

Press this button to choose between outside air intake or recirculation of the air inside the vehicle.Alamp will illuminate when you are in Recirculation mode. Only use the Recirculation mode to temporarily block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool the interior rapidly upon initial start-up in very hot or humid weather.

NOTE:
• If the Recirculation button is pressed when the system is in Defrost mode the Recirculation LED indicator will flash 3 times to indicate Recirculation mode is not allowed.
• In Floor and Mix mode the system will turn off Recirculation mode after five minutes of operation.
You can select Recirculation mode again if desired.
• Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
• In cold or damp weather, the use of the Recirculation mode will cause windows to fog on the inside because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. For maximum defogging, select the outside air position.
• In order to prevent fogging, when the Recirculation button is pressed and the mode control is set to Panel, the A/C will engage automatically.
• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.

10. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button

Press and release to change the current setting.

The indicator illuminates when ON.

NOTE:
If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (located in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser.
Fabric front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.

11. Floor Mode Button

Air is directed through the floor outlets with a small amount through the defrost and side window demist outlets.

12. Bi-Level Mode Button

Air is directed through the panel and floor outlets.

NOTE:
There is a difference in temperature (in any conditions other than full cold or full hot), between the upper and lower outlets for added comfort. The warmer air goes to the floor outlets. This feature gives improved comfort during sunny but cool conditions.

13. Panel Mode Button

Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument panel. These outlets can be adjusted for direction, and turned on or off to control airflow.

NOTE:
For maximum airflow to the rear, the center instrument panel outlets can be directed toward the rear seat passengers.

Economy Mode

If ECONOMY mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn off the indicator light and the A/C compressor.

Rotate the temperature control knob to the desired temperature.

Max A/C

For maximum cooling use the A/C and Recirculation mode buttons at the same time.
