Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere

These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the
sides of your instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction, such as leaves. The
heater and defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, select
maximum blower speed for a few moments
before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
Rear Climate Control System
The lower buttons on the rear seat audio are used to
adjust the rear seat climate controls. The temperature
of the air coming through the rear outlets is determined
by the front passenger’s temperature setting.

Climate Controls Personalization
Your vehicle is equipped with a Driver Information
Center (DIC). You can store and recall the climate
control settings for temperature, air delivery mode
and fan speed for two different drivers. The personal
choice settings recalled are determined by the
transmitter used to enter the vehicle. After the button
with the unlock symbol on a remote keyless entry
transmitter is pressed, the climate control will adjust to
the last settings of the identied driver. The settings
can also be changed by pressing one of the memory
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver’s door.
When adjustments are made, the new settings are
automatically saved for the driver.
