Power Mirrors
The power mirror controls are located on the center
console.
The power mirror controls consist of a mirror select
knob and a four-way mirror control switch. To adjust a
mirror, turn the power mirror control knob to the left or
right to select the mirror that you want to adjust.
Using the mirror control switch, push on any of the four
arrows for the direction that you want the selected
mirror to move.
Folding Mirrors
The exterior mirrors are hinged to allow the mirror to
pivot forward or rearward to help avoid damage. The
mirror has three detent positions: full forward, full
rearward and normal.
Heated Mirrors
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice.
This feature can be activated whenever you
turn on the mirror defroster. The Door
Demist/Defrost button is located in the
switch bank above the Climate Controls.

WARNING!(Continued)
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of
the windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the lever
upward to the MIST position and release for a single
wiping cycle.
NOTE:The Mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the
windshield. The wash function must be used in order to
spray the windshield with washer fluid.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control System allows you to regulate the
temperature, air flow, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle. The controls are located on the
instrument panel below the radio.

Climate Control Descriptions
IconDescription
A/C Button
Push and release to change the current setting, the indicator illuminates when A/C is on.
Performing this function again will cause the A/C operation to switch into manual mode
and the A/C indicator will turn off.
MAX A/C
For maximum cooling, use the A/C and recirculation modes at the same time.
ECONOMY MODE
If economy mode is desired, press the A/C switch to turn off the A/C compressor. Then,
rotate the temperature control to the desired temperature.
Recirculation And Out Side Air Knob
Slide this knob over to one of the two settings to change the system between recirculation
mode and outside air mode. Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as
smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
NOTE:
•Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window
fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
•The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog
on the inside, because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air posi-
tion for maximum defogging.
•Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.
•The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.

IconDescription
Demist/Defrost Button
Push and release the Demist/Defrost button to turn on the outside mirror defroster. An
indicator will illuminate when the outside mirror defroster is on. The outside mirror de-
froster automatically turns off after 20 minutes.
Temperature Control Knob
Temperature control is used to regulate the temperature of the air forced through the cli-
mate system. The temperature can be selected using the temperature control knob on the
faceplate. The temperature increases as you turn the temperature control knob clockwise.
The temperature decreases as you turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise.
Blower Control Knob
Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air forced through the climate system. The
speeds can be selected by rotating the blower control knob on the faceplate clockwise, or
counterclockwise. The larger the number of the setting, the faster the blower speed.
Mode Control Knob
Mode control is used to regulate the mode airflow is distributed into the cabin. The airflow
distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor
outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets.
Panel Mode
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individu-
ally adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard out-
lets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate airflow direction.

Climate Control Functions
Heating
To heat the passenger compartment, proceed as follows:
1. Rotate the Temperature Control to the red section.
2. Turn the Blower Control to the desired speed.
3. Turn the Mode Control to
.
4. Then operate the controls to maintain the desiredcomfort conditions.
NOTE:
• This air distribution allows the passenger compart-
ment to be heated quickly.
• When the engine is cold, it takes a few minutes to
achieve optimum passenger compartment heating.
Fast Demisting/Defrosting Of Windshield And
Side Windows
Proceed as follows:
1. Rotate the Temperature Control to the red section.
2. Turn the Blower Control to 4 (maximum fan speed).
3. Turn the Mode Control to
.
4. Move the Recirculation Control to.
After demisting/defrosting, operate the controls as
normal to restore the required comfort conditions.
NOTE: The climate control system is very useful for
speeding up and maintaining demisting since it dehu-
midifies the air. Adjust the controls as described previ-
ously and switch on the climate control system by
pressing the A/C button.
Window Demisting
In the event of considerable external moisture and/or
rain and/or large differences in temperature inside and
outside the passenger compartment, perform the fol-
lowing preventive window demisting procedure:
1. Move the Recirculation Control to
.
2. Rotate the Temperature Control to the red section.
3. Turn the Blower Control to 2 (intermediate fan speed).
4. Turn the Mode Control to
with the possibility
of moving it to position
if window misting does
not occur. 3

Ventilation
To ventilate the passenger compartment properly, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Fully open the vents and direct them appropriately.
2. Rotate the Temperature Control to the blue section.
3. Move the Recirculation Control to
.
4. Turn the Blower Control to the desired speed.
5. Turn the Mode Control to
.
Internal Air Recirculation Activation
• Move the Recirculation Control to.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on
while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if
there are two people on board, to prevent the windows
from misting. NOTE:
The internal air recirculation system makes it
possible to reach the required heating or ventilation
conditions more quickly. Do not use the internal air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days to avoid the
possibility of the windows misting.
Climate Control
Proceed as follows:
1. Rotate the Temperature Control to the blue section.
2. Turn the Blower Control to 1 (1st fan speed). For rapid cooling, turn Blower Control to 4 (maximum
fan speed).
3. Move the Recirculation Control to
.
4. Turn the Mode Control to.
5. Push the A/C button.
Cooling Adjustment
Proceed as follows:
1. Move the Recirculation Control to
.
2. Rotate the Temperature Control towards the red section to increase the temperature.
