Electronic Climate Control (ECC) (contd)
Air distribution

Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination of the cont\
rols shown in the
illustration to manually adjust air flow. An LED in the switch will ligh\
t up if an air flow control has been
pressed.
Heated front seats (option)
l Press the switch once for maximum seat heating. Both LEDs in the switch \
will be lit.
l Press the switch a second time for comfort heating. One LED in the switc\
h will be lit.
l Press the switch a third time to turn the heating off completely. The LE\
D will go off.
The seat heating for the passenger seat should be switched off when the \
seat is not occupied.
A/C - ON/OFF
Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OF\
F" LED will light up to indicate if
the system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulate\
d automatically (if the AUTO switch is
on).
l The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0°\
C).
l While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is tempor\
arily activated to dehumidify the
air, even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This w\
ill only function if the blower is not
switched off.

Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the pass\
enger compartment recirculates - no
fresh air enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up \
to indicate that the function is
engaged.
l Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases,\
smoke, etc or to heat/cool the
vehicle quickly.
l Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make
sure that the recirculation function is switched off.
l Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
l Timer mode activation: (Vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System have no timer m\
ode)
Press and hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activa\
te a recirculation timer mode. The
amber LED in the recirculation button will flash 5 times to show that th\
e timer mode is being activated. In
timer mode, each time the recirculation button is pressed, the climate c\
ontrol system will recirculate the air
in the passenger compartment for 5-12 minutes, depending on the outside \
air temperature, and then revert
back to fresh air.
l Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 s\
econds. The amber LED in the
recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a re\
turn to "normal" mode.
pg. 56 Climate control

l In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate co\
ntrol system will recirculate the
air in the passenger compartment until the recirculation button is press\
ed again.
l Timer mode memory: If the vehicle is turned off while timer mode is acti\
ve, timer mode will still be
active when the vehicle is restarted.

Interior Air Quality sensor (option)
Some vehicles are equipped with a multifilter and air quality sensor. Th\
e filter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehi\
cle. The air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated outside
air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment \
is recirculated, i.e. no outside air
enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compar\
tment air.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE GRADES
Quality grades can be found, where applicable, on the tire sidewall betw\
een the tread shoulder
and maximum section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
TREADWEAR
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of th\
e tire when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example\
, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and one half (1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a t\
ire graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, ho\
wever, and many depart
significantly from the norm due to variation in driving habits, maintena\
nce practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, as mea\
sured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete\
. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
WARNING!
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight-\
ahead) traction tests and is not a
measure of cornering (turning) traction.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are AA (the highest), A, B, and C, representing\
the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under c\
ontrolled conditions on specified
indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the m\
aterial of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire \
failure. The grade C corresponds
to minimum level of performance that all passenger vehicle tires must me\
et under the Federal Motor
Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfo\
rmance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is pr\
operly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation, or excessive loading, either separatel\
y or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Fuses in the passenger compartment
Fuses are located inside the access panel on the edge of the dashboard, \
on the driver's side. There are
also a number of spare fuses. When replacing a blown fuse, be sure to re\
place it with a new one of the
same color and amperage (written on the fuse).
