Owner's Manual

Heating
Adjust the air temperature by using the following levers:
D (Driver): Slide this lever up or down to raise or
lower the temperature on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
P (Passenger): Slide this lever up or down to raise
or lower the temperature on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle.
To warm your vehicle on cold days, do the following:
1. Select the floor mode.
2. Select the warmest temperature.
3. Select the fan speed.
4. Select outside air mode, after the air has warmed,
to prevent it from becoming too stale.
When it’s cold outside 0°F (−18°C) or lower, use the
engine coolant heater, if equipped, to provide warmer air
faster to your vehicle. An engine coolant heater warms
the coolant that the engine uses to provide heat to
warm the inside of your vehicle. For more information,
see Engine Coolant Heater on page 2-20.
Cooling
On hot days, open the windows to let hot air escape;
then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes
for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system
to operate more efficiently.
#(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the
air-conditioning system on or off. When the system is on,
an indicator light will come on and the system will
begin to cool and dehumidify the air inside of your
vehicle. During daylight hours, you may have to adjust
the instrument panel brightness control to the highest
setting in order to see the indicator light. See Interior
Lamps on page 3-16 for more information.
You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed
to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while
still maintaining the selected temperature.
The Air Conditioning System removes moisture from
the air, so you may notice a small amount of water
dripping underneath your vehicle when idling or after
turning off the engine.
