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
system off or with recirculated air
engaged.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
A/C and recirculated air
or with the system off when the
vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the
outside air inlet vents.
•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
with recirculation mode
selected, turn off the rear A/C unit, reduce
blower fan speed from the highest setting and put the vehicle’s
transmission into the P (Park) position to continue to receive cool air
from your A/C system.

WARNING:Always remember to turn on your headlamps at
dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp
(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not
provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.

instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parking lamp
operation.

defeat/override.
Note:If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is
installed, the dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Rotate the dimmer
switch from the full dim position to the full Dome/ON position to reset.
This will ensure that your displays are visible under all lighting
conditions.

If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.
