CD/DVD DISC MAINTENANCE To keep a CD/DVD in good condition, take the following precautions: 1. Handle the disc by its edge; avoid touching the surface. 2. If the disc is stained, clean the surface with a soft cloth, wiping from center to edge. 3. Do not apply paper or tape to the disc; avoid scratch- ing the disc. 4. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, cleaners, or anti-static sprays. 5. Store the disc in its case after playing. 6. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. 7. Do not store the disc where temperatures may become too high.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 285
If you experience difficulty in playing a particu- NOTE: lar disc, it may be damaged (i.e., scratched, reflective coating removed, a hair, moisture or dew on the disc) oversized, or have protection encoding. Try a known good disc before considering disc player service.RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated by relocating the mobile phone antenna. This condition is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be turned down or off during mobile phone operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLS The Climate Control System allows you to regulate the temperature, amount, and direction of air circulating
286 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL throughout the vehicle. The controls are located on the instrument panel below the radio. NOTE: During snowplow usage on vehicles equipped with outside temperature display, the display may show higher temperatures than the outside ambient tempera- ture. The higher displayed temperature is due to blocked or reduced airflow to the underhood ambient tempera- ture sensor caused by the snowplow. In addition, on vehicles equipped with Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), it is suggested that the interior cabin temperature be manually controlled should the system not perform as desired while in automatic mode. Both the outside tem- perature display and ATC operation will return to nor- mal when the snowplow is removed. Manual Heating and Air Conditioning System The controls for the manual heating and air conditioning system in this vehicle consist of a series of outer rotary
dials and inner push knobs. These comfort controls can be set to obtain desired interior conditions.

4 – DEFROST Mode 5 – Air Conditioning (A/C) 6 – RECIRCULATION Control
Front Blower Control
There are four blower speeds. 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 clockwise from the OFF position.
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 OFF position. Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the tem- perature of the air inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the knob coun- terclockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indicates cooler

temperatures. Rotating the knob clockwise, into the red area, indicates warmer temperatures. If your air conditioning performance seems NOTE: lower than expected, check the front of the A/C con- denser (located in front of the radiator), for an accumu- lation 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. Mode Control (Air Direction)Mode control allows you to choose from several patterns of air distribu- tion. You can select either a primary mode, as identified by the symbols, or a blend of two of these modes. The closer the control is to a particular mode, the more air distribution you
receive from that mode.
288 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Panel Mode
Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct airflow.
Bi-Level Mode
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. Floor Mode
Air is directed through the floor outlets with a small amount through the defrost and side window
demist outlets.
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. Defrost Mode
Air is directed through the windshield and side window demist outlets. Use the DEFROST mode with maximum blower and warm temperature settings for best windshield and side window defrosting. NOTE: The air conditioning compressor operates 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.
Recirculation Control
Press this button to choose between outside air intake or recirculation of the air inside the vehicle. A LED will illuminate when you are in Recircula- tion 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 Mix or Defrost mode the Recirculation LED indicator will flash three times and then turn off to indicate Recirculation mode is not allowed. • 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.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 289
• 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. • The A/C can be deselected manually without disturb- ing the mode control selection by pressing the A/C button.

292 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Automatic Operation 1. Position the MODE control knob to the Auto position on the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Panel. 2. Position the BLOWER control knob in the Auto posi- tion on the ATC Panel. 3. Next, adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain by adjusting the driver and front passenger temperature buttons. Once the desired tem- perature is displayed, the system will achieve and auto- matically maintain that comfort level. 4. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings. You will experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to function automatically.
NOTE: • It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts the temperature, mode and fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as possible. • The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric units by selecting the US/M customer-programmable feature. Refer to the “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — Customer-Programmable Features (SETUP)” in this section of the manual.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the Automatic mode, during cold start-ups the blower fan will remain on low and the DELAY symbol will appear in the ATC display until the engine warms up. The blower will increase in speed and transition into Auto mode and DELAY will no longer be illuminated in the display. The
blower will engage immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by adjusting the blower control knob and setting the fan to any fixed speed. Manual Operation This system offers a full complement of manual override features. NOTE: Each of these features operate independently from each other. If any one feature is controlled manually, the temperature doors will continue to operate automati- cally.
There are six fixed blower speeds. 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 clockwise from the OFF position.
Blower Control
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 293
The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed speed by adjusting the blower control knob. The fan will now operate at a fixed speed until additional speeds are selected. This allows the front occupants to control the volume of air circulated in the vehicle and cancel the Auto mode. The operator can also select the direction of the airflow by selecting one of the following positions. Panel ModeAir comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be rotated to regulate or shut off the airflow from these outlets. Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets and defrost outlets.
294 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL In many temperature positions, the BI-LEVEL NOTE: mode is designed to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets. Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window
demister outlets. Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, defrost and side window demist outlets. This mode works best in cold or snowy conditions. It allows you to stay comfortable
while keeping the windshield clear. Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. Use Defrost mode with maximum blower and temperature settings for best windshield and side window defrosting.
NOTE: While operating in the other modes, the system will not automatically sense the presence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield. Defrost mode must be manually selected to clear the windshield and side glass.
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning system. When in A/C mode and the ATC is set to a cool temperature, dehumidified air flows through the air outlets. If Economy mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn off the A/C mode in the ATC display and deactivate the A/C system. NOTE: • If the system is in Mix, Bi-Level or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the A/C system shall remain active to prevent fogging of the windows. • If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select Defrost mode and increase blower speed.
Recirculation Control
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may wish to recirculate interior air by pressing the RECIRCULATION control button. Recirculation mode should only be used temporarily. The recirculation LED will illuminate on the blower control knob when this button is selected. Push the button a second time to turn off the Recirculation mode LED and allow outside air into the vehicle. In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may NOTE: lead to excessive window fogging. The Recirculation mode is not allowed in the Floor/Defrost Mix and Defrost modes to improve window clearing operation. Recirculation will be disabled automatically if these modes are selected.

Summer Operation The engine cooling system in air conditioned vehicles must be protected with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion protection and to protect against engine overheating. A solution of 50% ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant and 50% water is recommended. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for proper coolant selection. Winter Operation To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor- mance, make sure the engine cooling system is function- ing properly and the proper amount, type, and concen- tration of coolant to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for proper coolant selection. Use of the air Recirculation mode during Winter months is not recommended because it may cause window fogging.
is used. Refer
Outside Air Intake Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, can cause odor, and if they enter the plenum they could plug the water drains. In Winter months make sure the air intake is clear of ice, slush and snow.
296 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL Vacation/Storage Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in fresh air with the blower setting in high. This will ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor damage when the system is started again. Window Fogging and Frosting Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside of the glass in mild, rainy and/or humid weather. Windows may frost on the inside of the glass in very cold weather. To clear the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed. Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods, as fogging may occur.
