Press the button to switch on. Recirculated air is distributed
through the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning is automatically
adjusted to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the
full cool position. This re-cooling of the interior is more economical
and efficient.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING
THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated
air may cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of
air from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up
inside your vehicle, do not drive with
the system switched off or with
recirculated air always switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the
front seats as this may interfere with
the airflow to the rear seats. Note:
Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Do not adjust the settings when
your vehicle interior is extremely hot or
cold. The system automatically adjusts
to the previously stored settings. For
the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures
with AUTO selected, the system directs
air toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine
remains cold.
Note: When you switch the system off,
outside air cannot enter your vehicle.

WARNING
People who are unable to feel
pain to their skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions, must
exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the heated seat to overheat. Do
not puncture the seat with pins,
needles or other pointed objects. This
may damage the heating element
which may cause the heated seat to
overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water
or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry
thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless
the engine is running. Doing so can
cause the battery to lose charge. Press the heated seat symbol to cycle
through the various heat settings and
off. Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.

exercise care when using the seat
heater. The seat heater may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion, because this
may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Do not puncture the seat
with pins, needles, or other pointed
objects because this may damage the
heating element which may cause the
seat heater to overheat. An
overheated seat may cause serious
personal injury. Note:
Do not do the following:
• Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the seat heater if water or
any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry
thoroughly.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use of
the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can
result in fire or serious injury. Note:
If used when the engine is not
running, the battery will discharge.
There may be insufficient power to
restart your engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.
This will damage the outlet and blow
the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket from
the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over
the vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180
watts or a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point
caps closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of
the power point. To prevent the
battery from being discharged: •
Do not use the power point longer
than necessary when the engine is
not running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when the vehicle is
parked for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be found:
• in the front of the center console
• inside the center console storage
bin
• on the rear of the center console.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If
Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do
not use any extension cord with the
110 volt AC power point, since it will
defeat the safety protection design.
Doing so my cause the power point to
overload due to powering multiple
devices that can reach beyond the 150
watt load limit and could result in fire
or serious injury. Note:
Keep the engine running to use
the power point.

GENERAL INFORMATION
If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers)
after you reconnect it. This is because
the engine management system must
realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your
vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire. Do not start the engine in a
closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can
be toxic. Always open the garage door
before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle
if you smell exhaust fumes. The powertrain control system meets
all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements
regulating the impulse electrical field
or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid
pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the
accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
WARNING
The keyless starting system may
not function if the key is close to
metal objects or electronic devices
such as mobile phones. Note:
A valid key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition
on and start the engine.
Switching the Ignition On
(Accessory Mode) Press the START button once. It is
located on the instrument panel near
the steering wheel. All electrical
circuits and accessories are
operational and the warning lamps
and indicators illuminate.
Starting Your Vehicle
Carry out the following steps to start
your vehicle:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
