blower, heating, air distribution (air flow) and
air conditioning are controlled. If you prefer to
manually set any of these functions, the remaining functions will still be
controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO button overrides any
settings that were previously made manually.
Temperature

temperature for both sides of the passenger
compartment. Please note that the compartment
will not be heated or cooled faster by setting the
temperature higher or lower than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.Defroster

front side windows. The LED in the switch will
light up to indicate that the defrost function is
engaged. Blower speed increases automatically
and the air in the passenger compartment is
dehumidified. Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.

Starting the engine
CAUTION:
•The engine should be idling when you
move the gear selector. Never accelerate
until after you feel the transmission
engage! Accelerating immediately after
selecting a gear will cause harsh engage-
ment and premature transmission wear.
•Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill
for prolonged periods of time will help
prevent overheating of the automatic
transmission fluid.
•Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.WARNING!
•Always place the gear selector in Park or
in reverse on models with a manual
transmission, and apply the parking brake
before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
car unattended with the engine running.
•Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is
invisible and odorless but very
poisonous.
•An extra mat on the driver's floor can
cause the accelerator pedal and the clutch
to catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal and clutch is not
impeded. Not more than one protective
floor covering may be used at one time.

If the tailgate must be kept open for any
reason, proceed as follows:
- Close the windows.
- Set the ventilation system to air flow to
floor, windshield and side windows and
blower control to its highest setting.
•Floor mats: An extra mat on the driver's
floor can cause the accelerator pedal to
catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal is not impeded. Not
more than one protective floor covering
may be used at one time.
