Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof in certain open or par-
tially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear windows to-
gether to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting or open any window.

Air Distribution Selection
By pushing the Mode Control buttons (Defrost/Panel/
Floor buttons), it is possible to set one of the seven
possible air distributions manually by activating one or
more mode buttons:
•Defrost Mode – Air flow to the windshield and front
side window diffusers to defrost them. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting.
•Panel Mode – Air flow is distributed between the
central and side instrument panel vents.
•Floor Mode – Air flow is directed from the front and
rear footwell diffusers.
•Floor and Panel Modes – Air flow is distributed
between the footwell diffusers and the central and side
instrument panel vents.•Floor and Defrost Modes – Air flow distributed be-
tween footwell diffusers and windshield and front side
window defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting
allows the passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows from misting.
•Defrost and Panel Modes – Air flow distribution
between windshield defrosting diffusers and side and
central instrument panel vents.
•Defrost, Panel and Floor Modes – Air flow distribution
to all the diffusers.
NOTE:Air always flows from the side instrument panel
diffusers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air flow
by operating the wheel located near the corresponding
vents.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically
manages air distribution (LEDs on the Mode Control
buttons are off).

MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the system for maximum cooling perfor-
mance.
Rotate the driver temperature control adjust knob
counter-clockwise for MAX A/C. Both driver and pas-
senger temperature displays will show MAX A/C LO.
In MAX A/C, the blower speed and mode position can be
adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings
will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the
selected setting and MAX A/C to exit.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost function)
Push the MAX-defrost button to activate (LED on) the
windshield and side window demisting function.
The Climate Control system carries out the following
operations:
•Turns on the air conditioning compressor when envi-
ronmental conditions are suitable.•Turns air recirculation off.
•Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
•Directs air flow to windshield and front side window
diffusers.
•Activates the heated rear window defrost.
•Activates the heated windshield (if equipped).
•Displays the fan speed (Blower Control Indicator LED
illuminated).
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are pushing the A/C control button,
adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear
window off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons are
pushed, the Climate Control system will deactivate the
Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.

CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than 180
Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not damage the
socket by using unsuitable adaptors. If the 180 Watt
(15 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protect-
ing the system will need to be replaced.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
•Do not touch with wet hands.
•Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
Cargo Box — If Equipped
The cargo area contains a preformed cargo box that can
be used for the storage of objects that allows you to
obtain a uniform level when loading.

CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than 180
Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not damage the
socket by using unsuitable adaptors. If the 180 Watt
(15 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protect-
ing the system will need to be replaced.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
•Do not touch with wet hands.
•Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
•Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
•After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
