Fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjustto select the desired fan speed.A
A/C: Press the button to turn air conditioning compressor on or off. Use airconditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.B
Note: In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the airconditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off theair conditioning with the A/C button.
Power: Press the button to turn the system on and off. Switching off the climatecontrol system prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.C
Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See HeatedWindows and Mirrors (page 119).D
Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the airflow in your vehicle.Adjust to select the desired temperature.E
MAX Defrost: Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full heatposition to maximize defrosting. Outside air flows through the windshield vents,fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returnsto the full heat position. You can use this setting to defog or clear a thin coveringof ice from the windshield. The heated rear window also automatically turnson when you select MAX Defrost.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to fog up.
Note:You may feel a small amount of airfrom the footwell air vents regardless of theair distribution setting.
Note:To reduce humidity build-up insideyour vehicle, do not drive with the systemswitched off or with recirculated air alwaysswitched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the frontseats as this may interfere with the airflowto the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves fromthe air intake area at the base of thewindshield.
Note:To improve the time to reach comfortin hot weather, drive with the windowsslightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-upor until your vehicle airs out.
Manual Climate Control
Note:To reduce fogging of the windshieldduring humid weather, adjust the airdistribution control to the windshield airvents position.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:Adjusting the settings when yourvehicle interior is extremely hot or cold isnot necessary. The system automaticallyadjusts to heat or cool the cabin to yourselected temperature as quickly as possible.For the system to function efficiently, theinstrument panel and side air vents shouldbe fully open.
Note:If you select AUTO during coldoutside temperatures, the system directsairflow to the windshield and side windowvents. In addition, the fan may run at aslower speed until the engine warms up.
Note:If you select AUTO during hot outsidetemperatures, or when the inside of thevehicle is hot, the system automatically usesrecirculated air to maximize interior cooling.When the interior reaches the selectedtemperature, the system automaticallyswitches to using outside air.
