the amount of time needed to cool down the interior and help reduce odors
from reaching the interior. Recirculated air also engages automatically when
MAX A/C or MAX defrost is selected and may be engaged manually in any
airflow mode except defrost. It may also turn off in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C and MAX defrost to reduce fog potential. E
MAX A/C: Touch to cool your vehicle with recirculated air. Touch again for
normal A/C operation. MAX A/C distributes air through instrument panel vents
and may help reduce odors from entering your vehicle. MAX A/C is more
economical and efficient than normal A/C mode. F

to improve cooling performance and efficiency. A/C engages automatically in
MAX A/C, defrost and footwell/defrost. G

the temperature control. The system automatically controls fan speed, airflow
distribution, A/C on or off and the use of fresh or recirculated air. H

seat floor vents, and provides outside air to reduce window fogging.Panel:
Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.Panel and Floor: Distributes
air through the instrument panel vents, demister vents, floor vents and rear seat
floor vents.Floor: Distributes air through the demister vents, floor vents and I
rear seat floor vents.Defrost: Touch to clear the windshield of fog and thin ice.
Touch again to return to the previous airflow selection. When on, defrost provides
outside air to reduce window fogging and distributes air through the windshield
defroster vents and demister vents.MAX Defrost: Distributes outside air
through the windshield air vents and automatically switches the air conditioning
on. The fan is set to the highest speed and the temperature to HI. When the air
distribution is set in this position, you are unable to select recirculated air or
manually adjust the fan speed and temperature control.

NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor®
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
your vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time.This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying ENGINE
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.
