Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(defrost). Temperature and/or fan speed can also be
increased to improve clearing.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
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.”
•If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and
idling for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run
the A/C in the MAX A/C mode, adjust the blower fan speed to the
lowest setting and put the vehicle’s transmission in P (Park) to
continue to receive cool air from your A/C system.
For maximum cooling performance MAX A/C in AUTO:
1. Press AUTO control.
2. Set to desired temperature.
For maximum cooling performance MAX A/C in manual override
control
1. Choose
(panel), A/C, and MAX A/C controls.
2. Set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
3. Set the fan to the highest blower setting.

Fold-away mirrors
Fold the side mirrors in carefully
before driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
Powerfold mirrors (if equipped)
With powerfold mirrors, you can fold
the side mirrors using the power
mirror switch.
1. Rotate the switch to the
center/neutral position.
2. Momentarily pull the switch
rearward to auto fold in.
3. Momentarily pull the switch rearward again to fold back to design
position.
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 audibleclickwill 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:10 or more switch activations within one minute, or repeated
folding/unfolding of the mirrors while holding the switch rearward during
full travel, may cause the system to disable the fold/unfold function to
protect motors from overheating. Should this occur, wait approximately
three minutes with the vehicle running and up to 10 minutes with the
vehicle off, for the system to reset and for function to return to normal.
Heated outside mirrors (if equipped)
Heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog. To activate the heated mirrors,
press the rear defrost button

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.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Exterior mounted mirror turn signal indicator (if equipped)
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.

mirror to extend approximately
3.5 inches (90 mm). This feature is
especially useful to the driver when
towing a trailer. Pull the mirrors
inward carefully when driving
through a narrow space.
POWER ADJUSTABLE FOOT PEDALS (IF EQUIPPED)
