MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL (If Equipped)
Fan speed control:
Adjust the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
A
A/C:
Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning
cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve the time to reach a comfortable
temperature in hot weather, drive with the windows open until you feel cold air
through the air vents.
B
Note: In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even though the air conditioning is
switched off.
Power:
Press the button to switch the system on and off. When the system is
off, it prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.
C
Heated rear window:
Press the button to switch the heated rear window on
and off. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 128).
D
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle.
E
MAX Defrost:
Adjust the control to turn on defrost. Outside air flows through
the windshield vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and fan
automatically adjusts to the highest speed. You can also use this setting to
defrost and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window
also automatically turns on when you select maximum defrost.
F
Note:
To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.

MAX A/C: Adjust the control for maximum cooling. Recirculated air flows
through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on,
and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed.
G
Air distribution control: Adjust the control to turn airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.

from entering your vehicle.
J
Note:
Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in instrument
panel or instrument panel and floor airflow modes during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.
Fan speed indicator:
Illuminates to indicate fan speed.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
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.
