To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Modulate the temperature control to maintain comfort.
3. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
4. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
1.Fan speed adjustment:Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
2.Temperature selection:Controls the temperature of the airflow in
the vehicle.
3.Air flow selections:Controls the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief description on each control.
MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents and center console vents (if equipped) to cool the vehicle. This
re-cooling of the interior air is more economical and efficient.
Recirculated air may also help reduce undesirable odors from entering
the vehicle. The temperature selection control will not adjust airflow
temperature when in MAX A/C mode.
A/C:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents to cool
the vehicle.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Press the AUTO and
(floor/defrost) controls at the same time and
hold for one second to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
1.A/C:Press to activate/deactivate
air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling
performance and efficiency. Engages automatically in AUTO,
(defrost), and(floor/defrost).
2.Recirculated air:Press to
activate/deactivate air recirculation
in cabin. Recirculated air may
reduce the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle and
may also help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the
vehicle. Recirculation can be engaged manually in any other airflow
selection except
(defrost). Recirculation may turn off automatically
in all airflow selections.
3.Defrost:
Distributes outside
air through the windshield defroster
vents and demister vents. Can be
used to clear windshield of fog and thin ice.

Reasons given... Consider...
“The people I’m with don’t
wear belts”Set the example, teen deaths occur 4
times more often in vehicles with
TWO or MORE people. Children and
younger brothers/sisters imitate
behavior they see.
“I have an airbag” Airbags offer greater protection when
used with safety belts. Frontal airbags
are not designed to inflate in rear and
side crashes or rollovers.
“I’d rather be thrown clear” Not a good idea.Peoplewho are
ejected are 40 times more likely
to DIE.Safety belts help prevent
ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OUR
CRASH”.
Do not sit on tope of a buckled safety belt or insert a latchplate
into the buckle to avoid the BeltMinder
chime. To do so may
adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag system
One time disable
Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an
ignition ON cycle, the BeltMinder
will be disabled for that ignition cycle
only.
Deactivating/activating the BeltMinderfeature
Read Steps1-5thoroughly before proceeding with the
deactivation/activation programming procedure.
The BeltMinder
feature can be deactivated/activated by performing the
following procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that the following conditions
are met:
•the parking brake is set
•the gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or the neutral
position (manual transmission)
•the ignition switch is in the OFF position
•all vehicle doors are closed
