Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
When the engine idles for a long time, the exterior
temperature sensor may cause the system to blow air
that is too cool. Once the vehicle is moving again,
the system will try to maintain the set temperature
inside your vehicle.
When you start your vehicle and the EXT display
flashes (Dual Automatic ComforTemp system only)
for some time, the system may need repair. See
your dealer.Steering Wheel Controls for Climate
Control (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can control the
temperature function by using the buttons located on
your steering wheel.
Press the TEMP
(Temperature) up arrow
to increase the temperature
and the TEMP
(Temperature) down
arrow to decrease
the temperature.
