4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
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
R
The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
The ignition must be in the 3 (RUN) position to operate the rear window
defroster.
Press the control to turn the rear window defroster on. An indicator light
on the button will illuminate when active. The rear window defroster
turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the ignition is turned to
the 1 (LOCK) or 2 (ACC) position. To manually turn off the rear window
defroster at any time, press the control again.
If your vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors,
the same button will activate both.
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.
CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter element is designed to reduce the concentration of
airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the air being
supplied to the interior of the vehicle. The presence of a particulate filter
element provides the following benefits:
•Improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
•Improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
•Protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
Note:A cabin air filter must be installed at all times to prevent foreign
objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or damage to the system.
The access door for the filter is located behind the glove box. For
replacement intervals regarding the cabin air filter, see thescheduled
maintenance information. For more information regarding your filter,
see your authorized dealer.

glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.

are winding, slippery or unpaved.
