You can switch from English to metric units through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Controls

The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may notice water dripping underneath
your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
Manual Operation
yN z (Mode): Pressing the mode switch and
changing the mode cancels automatic operation and
allows the operator to manually select the air delivery
location. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
The outboard air outlets will always receive airflow
regardless of the mode selected. See Outlet
Adjustment on page 3-54 to change this airflow
from the outboard outlets.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
Y (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
\ (Bi-Level): This mode directs approximately half of
the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then
directs most of the remaining air to the floor outlets. In
automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets.
[ (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets with some air directed to the outboard
outlets, and a little air directed to the windshield and
side windows.
The mode switch can also be used to select the defog
mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can
be found later in this section.
yAz (Fan): Press this switch to increase or
decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch cancels
automatic operation and allows the operator to manually
select the amount of airflow. Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation.
If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter may
need to be replaced. For more information, see
Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-55 and
Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.
h (Recirculation): This button controls the air
source for the climate control system. If you are in
AUTO mode, pressing this button once will choose
recirculation. This mode keeps outside air from coming
in the vehicle and recirculates the air in the vehicle.
It can be used to prevent outside air and odors
from entering your vehicle or to help cool the air inside
your vehicle more quickly.
