Ventilated front seats*
G030244
Controls for ventilated front seats
The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through theseat upholstery. The cooling effect increasesas the air in the passenger compartmentbecomes cooler. The level of ventilation is adjusted on the con- trol panel on the side of the seat. The fanscan be set to three speeds. To start seat ventilation:
–Press briefly on .
To gradually increase ventilation:
–Press briefly on . For maximum ventilation:
–Hold down for approximately 2 sec-
onds.
To gradually decrease ventilation:
–Press briefly on .
To switch off ventilation:
–Hold down for approximately 2 sec-
onds.
The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating*, for example, to help drydamp clothing.
NOTE
• Seat ventilation cannot be started if the temperature in the passenger com-partment is below 41°F (5°C).
• Seat ventilation should be used withcaution by people who are sensitive todrafts. A moderate ventilation levelshould be set if the function is used forextended periods.

contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compart-ment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air entersthe vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculatedpassenger compartment air. When the ECC system is in the
AUTO mode,
the green LED will be on.
Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartmentrecirculates – no fresh air enters the compart-ment). The LED in the switch will light up toindicate that the function is engaged. • Use this function if the outside air is con- taminated with exhaust gases, smoke,etc or to heat/cool the vehicle quickly.
• Recirculation should not be used for morethan 15 minutes. If your windows begin tofog or mist, make sure that the recircula-tion function is switched off.
• Selecting
Defroster automatically
switches recirculation off.
• Timer mode activation: (Vehicles equip-ped with the Interior Air Quality systemhave no timer mode) Press and hold therecirculation button for at least 3 secondsto activate a recirculation timer mode.The amber LED in the recirculation buttonwill flash 5 times to show that the timermode is being activated. In timer mode, each time the recirculation button ispressed, the climate control system willrecirculate the air in the passenger com-partment for 5 – 12 minutes, dependingon the outside air temperature, and thenrevert back to fresh air.
• Timer mode deactivation: Press and holdthe recirculation button for 3 seconds.The amber LED in the recirculation buttonwill illuminate steadily for 5 seconds toshow a return to "normal" mode.
• In normal mode, when the recirculationbutton is pressed, the climate controlsystem will recirculate the air in the pas-senger compartment until the recircula-tion button is pressed again.
• Timer mode memory: If the vehicle isturned off while timer mode is active,timer mode will still be active when thevehicle is restarted.
AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control system so that theselected temperatures are maintained. Theblower, heating, air distribution (air flow), airconditioning, and optional air quality sensorare controlled. If you prefer to manually setany of these functions, the remaining func-tions will still be controlled automatically.Pressing the
AUTO button overrides any set-
tings that were previously made manually.

Economical driving

Economical driving conserves natural resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts andstops and adjusting the speed of your vehicleto immediate traffic conditions. Observe thefollowing rules:
• Bring the engine to normal operating tem- perature as soon as possible by drivingwith a light foot on the accelerator pedalfor the first few minutes of operation. Acold engine uses more fuel and is subjectto increased wear.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the vehi-cle for driving short distances. This doesnot allow the engine to reach normaloperating temperature.
• Drive carefully and avoid rapid accelera-tion and hard braking.
• Use the transmission's
D (Drive) position
as often as possible and avoid using"kickdown" to help improve fuel econ-omy.
• Do not exceed posted speed limits.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extraload) in the vehicle.
• Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tirepressure regularly (when tires are cold).
• Remove snow tires when threat of snowor ice has ended. •
Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc,increase air resistance and also fuel con-sumption.
• At highway driving speeds, fuel consump-tion will be lower with the air conditioningon and the windows closed than with theair conditioning off and the windowsopen.
• Using the onboard trip computer's fuelconsumption modes can help you learnhow to drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage are: • Dirty air cleaner
• Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
• Dragging brakes
• Incorrect front end alignment.
Some of the above mentioned items and oth- ers are checked at the standard MaintenanceService intervals.
CAUTION
Drive slowly and carefully if going through standing water (i.e. flooded roadways,etc.). Damage to the engine could result ifexcess water is drawn in through the airintake system. Never drive the vehicle inwater deeper than 18 inches (48 cm).
