Controls and features Displaying outside temperature EXT EXT TEMP F F C A/C AUTO OFF R Press EXT to display the outside air temperature. It will remain selected until the EXT control is pressed again. If the driver or passenger temperature or the fan speed is changed, or the AUTO or (defrost) modes selected while the outside temperature is displayed, the driver and passenger temperature display will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside temperature display will return to the window. If the outside temperature is displayed while the DATC system is in the OFF mode and the DATC is turned on, the driver and passenger temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside temperature display will return to the window. The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations. Operating tips • In humid weather, select (defrost) and R (rear window defrost) before driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position. • To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF position. • DO NOT leave the DATC system in recirculated air mode for extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold or damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear windows. • Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the airflow to the back seats. 40
