LEFT ONLY seats fit only in the
left positions. The
RIGHT ONLY seats
fit only in the right positions. The

it go back all the way. The safety belt

Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child
restraints should wear the vehicle’s
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a
child should sit next to a window
so the
child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder
belt can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are
safer
if they are restrained in the rear
seat. But they need
to use the safety
belts properly.
Children who aren’t buckled up can be
thrown out
in a crash.

Comfort Controls & Audio Systems
Rear Fan-Rear Control
This feature allows passengers riding in
the rear seats to control the flow of air
to the rear area of the vehicle. When the
heater
is on, warmed air is directed to
the third row seats and to the rear side
windows to defog them. When the air
conditioner is on, cooled air
is directed
to the second and third row seats
through upper vents. (See the
Index
under Climate Control System. )
The rear control switch is located on the
armrest next to the second row seat, left
position. The rear fan master control on
the instrument panel must be in the
REAR position for the rear control
switch to operate.
Select the force of air you want, from
LOW to HI, by turning the switch to the
desired setting. To turn the rear fan
off,
turn the switch to OFF. The rear fan can
also be turned off at the master control.
Defogging and Defrosting
To rapidly defrost the windshield, slide
the temperature control lever
all the way
to
WARM and press DEF. Adjust the
fan to the highest speed.
To keep the windshield clear and bring
in heated
air through the heater ducts,
press
DEFOG.
When the temperature outside is above freezing, the air conditioner compressor
will run in these settings to help remove
moisture
from the air.
