HEATER AND AIR CONDI-
TIONER OPERATION PRECAU-
TIONS
WARNING
.The heater and the air conditioner
operates only when the engine is
running.
. Never leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a
closed vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or pos-
sibly fatal injuries to people or ani-
mals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to
vehicle operation. .
Turn off the system when the engine
is not running to prevent battery
discharge.
INFO:
. Odors from inside and outside the vehi-
cle can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
. Vehicles with an automatic climate con-
trol system will automatically adjust the
passenger compartment to be the set
appropriate temperature when the re-
mote engine start feature (if so
equipped) is used.
For models with Idling Stop System (if so
equipped)
The Idling Stop System will not stop the
engine under the following conditions: .
The front defroster mode is on.
. The rear window defroster mode is on.
While the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, taking one of the following
actions will automatically start the engine: . Turn the front defroster mode on.
. Turn the rear window defroster mode
on.
When the engine is stopped by the Idling
Stop System, performance of the heater and
air conditioner may be reduced to minimize
fuel consumption. For the best heating and
air conditioning performance, turn on the
[Use A/C While Idle] setting.
