Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The band on the wiper lever with the smaller
arrow operates the rear wiper/washer.
9(Off):Turn the band to this position to turn off
the rear wiper.
Z(Rear Wiper):Turn the band with the smaller
arrow to this position to turn on the rear wiper.
To set for a shorter or longer delay between wipes,
turn the other band with the larger arrow pointing
to the numbers (1, 2, or 3). Select 3 for the
most frequent movement; select 1 for the least
frequent. The band with the arrow pointing to the
numbers (1, 2, or 3) will affect both the front
and rear wipers if they are on at the same time.
Y(Wash):Turn and hold the band in this position
to spray washer uid on the rear window.
The rear wiper will also come on. Release the
band when enough uid has been sprayed on the
window. The rear wiper will run a few additional
times after you release it.
The rear window washer uses the same uid bottle
as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of uid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield
but not your rear window, check the uid level.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h).
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle.
Operation
To change the current mode, use the right knob to
select one of the following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs air to the
instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield.
When the oor mode is selected, the system will
turn recirculation mode off and run the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside air is
at or below freezing. Entering this mode may
force the engine into the start/stop mode. See “Air
Conditioning and Engine Start/Stop” later in this
section. Recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in oor mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
The right knob can also be used to select defog
or defrost mode. See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.

A(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed or counterclockwise to decrease
the fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the left knob
all the way counterclockwise. In any setting
other than off, the fan will run continuously with
the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run
the air conditioning compressor. There will be
some airow noticeable from the various outlets
when driving, even with the fan in the off position.
This is to ensure some fresh air is always
available in the vehicle. Turning the fan from off to
on may force the engine into the start/stop mode.
See “Air Conditioning and Engine Start/Stop”
later in this section.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise
to decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.@(Recirculate):Press this button to toggle
between recirculate and outside air modes.
The indicator light turns on when the recirculate
mode is selected. This mode can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside
your vehicle more quickly. Avoid using the
recirculate mode during high periods of humidity
or cool outside temperatures since this may result
in increased window fogging. If window fogging
is experienced, select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in oor, defog,
or defrost modes and will shut off automatically
and change to outside air until a mode other than
oor, defog, or defrost is selected. This helps
prevent window fogging and moisture building up
within the cabin.

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to
change the air conditioning mode between
economy, normal, and off. When this button is
pressed the indicator light will change with each
mode. The green indicator light comes on
when economy mode is selected. The yellow
indicator light comes on when normal mode
is selected. Turning the air conditioning on may
force the engine into the start/stop mode. See “Air
Conditioning and Engine Start/Stop” later in this
section. Air conditioning can be selected in
any mode as long as the fan is on.
On hot days, activate the air conditioning system,
select maximum fan speed and the coldest
temperature setting. Open the windows long
enough to let the hot inside air escape, then close
them. This helps reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently. Adjust fan speed and
temperature setting as required to achieve comfort.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are two
modes to clear fog or frost from your windshield
and side windows. Use the defog mode to
clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove
fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the
windshield, side window outlets, and oor outlets.
When this mode is selected, the system will
turn the recirculation mode off and run the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside air is
at or below freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defog mode.

This helps prevent window fogging and moisture
building up within the cabin. To defog the windows
faster, turn the temperature knob clockwise to
the warmest setting. Using the defog mode may
force the engine into the start/stop mode. See “Air
Conditioning and Engine Start/Stop” later in this
section.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air
to the windshield, with some air directed to
the side window outlets and the oor outlets.
When you select this mode, the system will turn
recirculation mode off automatically and will run the
air conditioning compressor unless the outside
air is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window fogging and moisture
building up within the cabin. To defrost the
windows faster, turn the temperature knob
clockwise to the warmest setting. Using the defrost
mode may force the engine into the start/stop
mode. See “Air Conditioning and Engine
Start/Stop” later in this section.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press the button
to turn the rear window defogger on or off.
An indicator light above the button will come on to
show that the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will stay on for
approximately 15 minutes after the button is
pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC or
LOCK. If turned on again, the defogger will
only run for approximately seven minutes before
turning off. The defogger can also be turned off
by pressing the button again or by turning off
the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal
or anything similar to the defogger grid.

Objects blocking the line of sight could also affect
the function of the remote control.
The DVD player can only be turned on by pressing
the DVD/AUX button on the radio.
Notice:Storing the remote control in a hot
area or in direct sunlight can damage it,
and the repairs will not be covered by your
warranty. Keep the remote control stored in a
cool, dry place.
Remote Control Buttons
