fan speed. To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTO.
3. A.
RRear defroster (if equipped):Press to defrost the rear
window. Refer toRear window defrosterin this section for more
information. If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and
heated mirrors, the same button will activate both.
3. B.Heated mirrors (if equipped):Press to activate/deactivate. This
feature will remove ice and snow from the side view mirrors.
4.
Passenger heated seat control:Press to heat the passenger
seat. Press once to activate high heat (two indicator lights). Press again
to activate low heat (one indicator light). Press again to deactivate the
passenger heated seat.
5.
:Distributes air through the windshield defroster ducts, demister
outlets, and the front and rear seat floor ducts.
6.
:Distributes air through the floor and rear seat floor ducts.
7.
:Distributes air through the windshield defroster ducts, demister
outlets, and the front and rear seat floor ducts.
8.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel and center console
registers.
9.
Driver heated seat control:Press to heat the driver seat. Press
once to activate high heat (two indicator lights). Press again to activate
low heat (one indicator light). Press again to deactivate the driver
heated seat.
10.Manual override controls:Allows you to manually select where
airflow is directed. To return to full automatic control, press AUTO.

13.OFF:Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
14.Temperature control:Press to increase/decrease the temperature
in the vehicle cabin.
15.AUTO:To engage automatic temperature control, press AUTO and
select the desired temperature using the temperature control. The
system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow location, A/C on
or off, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach
the desired temperature.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
climate system off or with
(recirculated air) engaged.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
•For maximum cooling performance (Max A/C):
In AUTO: Press AUTO control and set to desired temperature.
In Manual Override Control: Press the
(panel), A/C, and
(recirculation) controls, set the temperature to 60°F (16°C) and the fan
to the highest blower setting.
•To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards 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.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER (IF EQUIPPED)R
The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to defrost your rear windshield from fog and thin ice. If equipped,
it also operates the heated mirror to remove snow and thin ice from the
side mirrors.
Ensure that the ignition is in the ON position. Press to turn the defroster
on/off. The indicator light will illuminate when activated.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.

The powerfold mirrors may be moved inward/outward manually.
However, if a mirror is moved manually, it will need to be reset. A mirror
which has not been reset may appear to be loose. To reset: with the
switch in the center position, momentarily pull the switch rearward to
fold the mirrors in. An audible
click
will be heard indicating
re-synchronization. If the click is not heard, use the switch to fold the
mirrors out, then in, until the click is heard. After that, the mirrors will
operate normally until they are again moved manually.
Note:Ten or more switch activations within 1 minute, or repeated
folding/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the switch rearward during
the full travel may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to
protect motors from overheating. Should this occur, wait approximately 3
minutes for the system to reset and function to return to normal.
Heated outside mirrors
Heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog. To activate the heated mirrors,
press the rear defrost button
R
located on the climate control panel.
Refer toRear window defrosterin
theClimate Controlschapter for
more information.
On vehicles not equipped with rear
defrost, press the heated mirror
control located on the climate
control panel, refer to theClimate
Controlschapter for more information.
Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it is frozen in place. These actions
could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Exterior mounted mirror turn signal indicator
When the vehicle turn signal is
activated, the lower portion of the
mirror housing will blink.
This feature provides an indicator to
the driver that the vehicle turn
signal is working properly.

MOON ROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
The moon roof control is located on the overhead console.
Do not let children play with the moon roof or leave children
unattended in the vehicle. They may seriously hurt themselves.
When closing the moon roof, you should verify that it is free of
obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are not in the
proximity of the moon roof opening.
Note:The moon roof will open to the“comfort”position first before
opening all the way. The “comfort” position helps to alleviate rumbling
wind noise which may happen in the vehicle with the roof fully opened.

Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the 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 tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual
conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the
norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices, and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA A B C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C. The
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature A B C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 139. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by
law.
The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
