running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, helps the sys-
tem maintain a constant temperature. Do
not put anything on or around this sensor.∙ When the climate system is in auto-
matic operation and the engine coolant
temperature and outside air tempera-
ture are low, the air flow outlet may de-
fault to defroster mode for a maximum
of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This is not
a malfunction. Af ter the engine coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow out-
let will return to foot mode and opera-
tion will continue normally.
∙ When the outside and interior cabin temperatures are moderate to high, the
intake setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode, or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may oc-
cur when the previous climate setting
was turned off. This is not a malfunction.
Af ter the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
air flow outlet will return to previous set-
tings, and operation may continue nor-
mally. To exit, press any climate control
button.
∙ Keep the moonroof (if so equipped) closed while the air conditioner is in op-
eration.

WARNING
∙ Do not leave children or adults whowould normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
∙ Exceeding the roof rack capacity can change the vehicle’s center of gravity
and adversely affect the handling and
stability of the vehicle resulting in an
accident causing death or serious
injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
∙ Do not breathe exhaust gases; theycontain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
∙ If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, drive with all
windows fully open, and have the ve-
hicle inspected immediately.
∙ Do not run the engine in closed spaces such as a garage.
∙ Do not park the vehicle with the en- gine running for any extended length
of time.

exhaust gases could be drawn into
the passenger compartment. If you
must drive with the lif tgate or rear
vent windows open, follow these
precautions:
1. Open all the windows. 2. Set the
air recirculation but-
ton to off and the fan control dial to
high to circulate the air.
∙ If electrical wiring or other cable con- nections must pass to a trailer
through the seal on the lif tgate or the
body, follow the manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation to prevent carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle.
∙ The exhaust system and body should be inspected by a qualified mechanic
whenever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service.
b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system,
underbody, or rear of the vehicle.
