6. Mix ModeAir is directed through the floor, defrost and side
window demist outlets. This setting works best in
cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat at the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort,
while reducing moisture on the windshield.

• You can turn off the heated mirror feature at anytime
by pressing the rear window defroster switch a second
time.

dow defroster only when the engine is operating.

The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.

cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp
rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.

the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the
buckles do not work properly.
