frost mode with maximum temperature settings for best windshield and side window de-
frosting and defogging.

Rotating the knob counterclockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indi-
cates cooler temperatures. Rotating the knob clockwise, into the red area, indicates warmer
temperatures.

Additional Electric Heater (If Equipped)
The additional electric heater ensures more rapid pas-
senger compartment heating.
It activates in cold weather conditions, if the following
conditions are verified:
•outside temperature low;
• engine coolant temperature low;
• engine on;
• fan speed set to 1st speed;
• Temperature Control knob turned completely clock-
wise to red section.
The heater is switched off when at least one of the
conditions above is no longer verified.
NOTE: The power of the electric heater is modulated
according to the battery voltage.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage
to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft
cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping paral-
lel to the heating elements. Labels can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of
the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
System Maintenance
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on
at least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealership
before the summer.
NOTE: The system uses R-1234yf coolant which does
not pollute the environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
allowed.

2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where the center cap covers the wheel bolts, use the wheel bolt
wrench to pry the center cap off carefully before
raising the vehicle. 3. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel bolt wrench
to loosen, but not remove, the wheel bolts on the

NOTE:There are front and rear jacking locations on
each side of the body (as indicated by the traingular lift
point symbols on the sill molding).
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly
engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill
flange, centering the jack saddle between the locating
notches on the sill flange.
5. Raise the vehicle just enough to remove the flat tire and install the spare tire.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make
the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and
hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough
to remove the tire.
6. Remove the wheel bolts and tire.
7. Mount the spare tire.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if
the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
NOTE: •For vehicles so equipped, do not attempt to install
a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare.

wheel bolts.
WARNING!
•To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in personal injury.
• To avoid possible personal injury, handle the
wheel covers with care to avoid contact with any
sharp edges.
9. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
10. Finish tightening the wheel bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the handle for increased
leverage. Tighten the wheel bolts in a star pattern
until each wheel bolt has been tightened twice.
Refer to Torque Specifications in this section for
proper lug nut torque. If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench
by your authorized dealer or at a service station. 11. Stow the jack, tools and flat tire.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the
vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare
tire in the places provided. Have the deflated (flat)
tire repaired or replaced immediately.
Spare Tire Stowage
Rotate the jack wrench tool on the winch drive nut
clockwise (the flat tire must not be connected to the
winch) until effort becomes heavy and an audible click
is heard indicating the winch is properly stowed.
Cover the flat tire with the Emergency Spare Tire Bag
and stow the flat tire into the trunk.
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with the
jack wrench extension tool only. Use of air wrench
or power tool may damage the winch.
