MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
1.Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.
2.Air flow selections:Controls
the distribution of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control setting:
MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated
air through the instrument panel
vents and center console vents 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.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents and center
console vents.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents, center console
vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the climate system is turned off.
:Distributes air through the floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
Note:You may notice a small amount of air flowing from the defroster
vents and demister vents.
:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents, demister
vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog or thin ice.
The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window
fogging.
3.
Recirculated air:Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time
needed to cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce
undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculation
engages automatically with selection of MAX A/C or can be engaged
manually in any other airflow selection except defrost. Recirculation may
turn off automatically in all airflow selections except MAX A/C.
4.
RRear defroster:Press to activate/deactivate the rear window
defroster. Refer toRear window defrosterlater in this chapter for more
information.

5.A/C:Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C,
(defrost) and(floor/defrost).
6.Fan speed adjustment:Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
(defrost) or(floor/defrost)
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
air flow selector in the O (OFF) position or with
(recirculated
air) engaged and A/C off.
•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.”
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
the MAX A/C position, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting
and put the vehicle’s transmission into the PARK gear position to
continue to receive cool air from your A/C system.
For maximum cooling performance in MAX A/C mode:
1. Select MAX A/C.
2. Move temperature control selector to the coolest setting.
3. Set the fan to the highest speed initially, then adjust to maintain
comfort.
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.

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 engine must be running 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 15 minutes or when the engine is turned off.
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 (IF EQUIPPED)
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. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a cabin air filter, a protective screen has
been provided in its place and must remain installed at all times.
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.
