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. 3-23
