PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Outside Air
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.
Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the
windows mist up, follow the settings
for demisting the windshield. The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.
Heating
Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.
General Information on Controlling
the Interior Climate
Fully close all the windows.
Warming the Interior
Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air toward the windshield and the door
windows.
Cooling the Interior
Direct the air toward your face. Air Conditioning
The system directs air through the
evaporator for cooling. The evaporator
extracts humidity from the air to help keep
the windows free of mist. The system
directs the resulting condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which may cause
a small pool to form under your vehicle.
This is normal.
Note:
The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).
Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.
AIR VENTS
To close a vent, slide the airflow direction
adjuster down.
Center Air Vents Side Air Vent

Select to distribute air through
the windshield air vents. You can
also use this setting to defog or
clear the windshield of a thin covering of
ice. You can also increase the temperature
and fan speed to improve clearing.
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.
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position. Increase the temperature
and fan speed and press the A/C button to
improve clearing, if required.
Heating the Interior Quickly
• Adjust the fan speed to the highest
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
highest setting.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
footwell air vents position. Recommended Settings for
Heating
•
Adjust the fan speed to the second
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
midway point of the hot settings.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
footwell and windshield air vents
position.
Cooling the Interior Quickly
• Adjust the fan speed to the highest
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
MAX A/C position.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
instrument panel air vents position.
Recommended Settings for
Cooling
• Adjust the fan speed to the second
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
midway point of the cold settings.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
instrument panel air vents position.
Vehicle Stationary for Extended
Periods During Extreme High
Ambient Temperatures
• Apply the parking brake.
• Move the transmission selector lever
to position
P or neutral.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
MAX A/C
position.
• Adjust the fan speed to the lowest
speed setting.
