B.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the airflow in
your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature.
C.Air distribution control:Turn the control to switch airflow from the
windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system can
distribute air through any combination of these vents.
MAX A/C:Turn the control to this position to maximize cooling.
Recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air
conditioning automatically turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts
to the highest speed.
D.Auxiliary climate control fan speed:Press to increase the volume
of air circulated in the rear passenger area of the vehicle.

to cool the interior (when used withA/C)and may reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note:Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented
from turning on) in all airflow modes exceptMAX A/Cto reduce risk
of fogging.
I.A/C:Press the button to switch the air conditioning compressor on or

GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
General Hints
Note:Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog
up.
Note:You may feel a small amount of air 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:Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
Note:To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with
the windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until your
vehicle airs out.
Manual Climate Control
Note:To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust
the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:Adjusting the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot
or cold is not necessary. The system automatically adjusts to heat or cool
the cabin to your selected temperature as quickly as possible. For the
system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note:If you selectAUTOduring cold outside temperatures, the system
directs airflow to the windshield and side window vents. In addition, the
fan may run at a slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note:If you selectAUTOduring hot outside temperatures, or when the
inside of the vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses recirculated air
to maximize interior cooling. When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically switches to using outside air.
