Fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust
to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch the fan off, the
windshield may fog up.
A
Recirculated air:
Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates and
the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This can reduce
the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering
your vehicle.
B
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. If you select MAX A/C, the
system distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel air vents. This
mode is more economical and efficient than normal air conditioning. When the
temperature control is in the
MAX A/C position, the air conditioning or
recirculated air can be turned on and off.
C
Air conditioning:
Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve the performance
of the air conditioning, drive with the widows slightly open for the first two or
three minutes.
D
Air distribution control:
Adjust to select the desired air distribution.
E Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel and
footwell air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the footwell air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the windshield and footwell air
vents. Select to distribute air through
the windshield air vents. You can
also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of
ice. You can also increase the temperature
and fan speed to improve clearing.
When the temperature is above 4°C
(39°F), the air conditioning will switch on
automatically. Make sure that the blower
is on. The indicator in the switch will
illuminate during defrosting and demisting.

Footwell: Press the button to distribute air through the footwell air vents.
I
Air conditioning:
Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning
when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
J
Temperature Control You can set the temperature between
60°F (15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C). In
position LO, the system switches to
permanent cooling. In position HI, the
system switches to permanent heating.
Note:
If you select either position LO or HI,
the system does not regulate a stable
temperature.
Mono Mode
In this mode, the temperature settings for
both the driver side and passenger side are
linked. If you adjust the setting using the
rotary control on the driver side, the system
adjusts the temperature to the same
setting on the passenger side. Switching Mono Mode Off
Select a temperature for the passenger
side using the rotary control on the
passenger side. Mono mode automatically
switches off. The temperature on the driver
side remains unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver side and passenger side
temperatures independently. The
temperature settings for each side are
shown in the display.
Switching Mono Mode Back On
Press and hold the
AUTO button. The
passenger side temperature is adjusted to
the driver side temperature setting.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: A small amount of air may be felt
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: Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not recline the seat backrest too
far as this can cause the occupant
to slide under the safety belt,
resulting in serious injury in the event of a
crash. Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seat backrest reclined too
far, can result in serious injury or
death in the event of a crash. Always sit
upright against your seat backrest, with
your feet on the floor. Do not place objects higher than the
seat backrest to reduce the risk of
serious injury in the event of a crash
or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, safety belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seat backrest more
than 30 degrees. •
Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.
• Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 inches
(25 centimeters) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the
safety belt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Adjust the head restraints for all
passengers before you drive your
vehicle. This will help minimize the
risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
Do not adjust the head restraints when
your vehicle is moving. The head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible it should be
installed and properly adjusted when
the seat is occupied. An improperly
adjusted head restraint may not
adequately protect an occupant during an
impact from the rear. Install the head restraint properly to
help minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.

Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from an accessory plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watt or a

FUEL QUALITY
Note:
Use of any fuel other than those
recommended may cause vehicle damage,
a loss of vehicle performance and repairs
may not be covered under warranty.
Choosing the Right Fuel
Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED
fuel blended with a maximum of 15%
ethanol. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85),
diesel fuel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or
any other fuel because it could damage or
impair the emission control system.
Your vehicle was not designed to use fuel
or fuel additives with metallic compounds,
including manganese-based additives. The
use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law.
Octane Recommendations
2.5L engine
Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some fuel stations offer
fuels posted as regular with an octane
rating below 87, particularly in high altitude
areas. Fuels with octane levels below 87
are not recommended.
1.6L EcoBoost® engines
Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some stations offer fuels
posted as "Regular" with an octane rating
below 87, particularly in high altitude areas.
Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not
recommended. Premium fuel will provide
improved performance and is
recommended for severe duty usage such
as trailer tow. Do not be concerned if your engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it
knocks heavily while you are using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, see your
authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•
You may need to cycle the ignition from
off to on several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the
fuel from the tank to the engine. On
restarting, cranking time will take a few
seconds longer than normal. With
keyless ignition, just start the engine.
Crank time will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of
fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
your vehicle is out of fuel and on a
steep grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8
liters) may be required.
Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the capless fuel system.
This could damage the fuel system and its
seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the
ground instead of filling the tank, which
could result in serious personal injury. Do not try to pry open or push open
the capless fuel system with foreign
objects. This could damage the fuel
system and its seal and cause injury to you
or others. 113
