Note:
The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select as
quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.

the windshield and side window air vents. In
addition, the blower motor may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.

Note:
Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass

CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter is under the instrument
panel in the passenger footwell area or
under the center console on the passenger
side.
The system filters airborne particles such as
dust, spores and pollen in the air supplied to
and recirculated in the interior of your
vehicle.
Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed
at all times. Running the system without a
filter in place could degrade or damage the
system. Your vehicle cabin air filter gives you and
your passengers the following benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Change the air filter element at the proper
intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 502).
For additional cabin air filter information, or
to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.

Rear Seats (If Equipped) WARNING:
Persons who are unable
to feel pain to the skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat
heater. The seat heater may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion,
because this may cause the seat heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with
pins, needles, or other pointed objects
because this may damage the heating
element which may cause the seat heater
to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Do not do the following:

• Operate the seat heater if water or any
other liquid spills on the seat. Allow the
seat to dry thoroughly.
Note: The heated seats will only function

Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and the leave the
engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the following:
•
Open the windows at least 1 in (2.5 cm).
• Set your climate control to outside air.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
(IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
Failure to follow engine
block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury. WARNING:
Do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock. WARNING:
Do not fully close the
hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power cable
and may cause an electrical short resulting
in fire, injury and property damage.
Note: The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below
0°F (-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by warming
the engine coolant. This allows the climate
control system to respond quickly. The
equipment includes a heater element,
installed in the engine block and a wire
harness. You can connect the system to a
grounded 120-volt AC electrical source. We recommend that you do the following for
a safe and correct operation:
•
Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by Underwriter’ s
Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards
Association (CSA). This extension cord
must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord plug
connections are free and clear of water.
This could cause an electric shock or fire.
• If the block heater cord is under the
hood, Do Not remove the wiring from its
original location. Do Not close the hood
on the extension wiring.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
