When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the
fan lever toward
HI for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces the chance
of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Shut
off outboard dash vents to keep cold air from
blowing in.
Defogging and Defrosting
Move the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and turn
the airflow knob to DEFROST to direct air to the
windshield vents. The air conditioner is automatically
turned
on. Turn the temperature knob to the
right and the fan knob toward
HI.
When the windshield is clear, turn down the fan speed.
To defog the windshield and side windows, turn
the aifflow knob to DEFROST.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Press the switch
to turn on the defogger. The defogger
will stay on for about 15 minutes, then it will shut off
automatically. You can also turn it
off by pressing the
switch again. Use it only when the engine is running.
Make sure you turn the defogger off when the window
is clear. Leaving the defogger on for a long time could
cause the battery to run down, especially during
stop-and-go driving. The defogger is
not designed for
drying water or melting snow.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window.

Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or
in
a crash.
Put things in the trunk of your vehicle. In a
trunk, put them as far forward as you can.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle
so that some of them are
above the tops of the seats.
Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.
Don’t leave a seat folded down unless you
need to.
Towing a Trailer
I A CAUTION:
If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive
properly, you can lose control when you pull a
trailer. For example, if the trailer is too heavy, the
brakes may not work well
-- or even at all. You
and your passengers could be seriously injured.
You may also damage your vehicle; the resulting
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Pull
a trailer only if you have followed all the
steps
in this section. Ask your dealer for advice
and information about towing
a trailer with
your vehicle.
