Humidity Sensor
The  Humidity  Sensor  helps  prevent  the
windows  from  fogging  up.  The  AUTO  function
(indicator  illuminated)  must  be  on  for  the
Humidity Sensor to function.
When  outside temperature is low,  the  system
may turn the compressor on and turn air recir-
culation off for safer driving.
Stop/Start
The  Stop/Start  system  shuts  off  the  engine
when the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as
a fuel conservation measure.
In order to  maintain  comfort  in  the cabin, the
Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the
following conditions exist:
The Climate Control system is in AUTO mode
(indicator  illuminated),  and  the  vehicle has
yet to reach the set temperature
The  Climate  Control  system  is  in  LO
maximum cooling
The  Climate  Control  system  is  in  HI
maximum heating
The  Climate  Control  system  is  in  the
MAX-DEF status
When  the  Stop/Start  system  is  active,  the
engine  will  restart  if  the  inside  temperature
changes  significantly,  or  if  the  LO  setting,  or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated. With Stop/Start system on (engine is OFF), air
flow  is  reduced  to  keep  the  compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until  the  temperature  drastically  changes
within  the  cabin,  the  climate  control  system
will  continue  to  maintain  the  temperature
while  the  engine  is  off.  By  deactivating  the
Stop/Start system with the   button (located
by  the  headlight  switch),  the  climate  control
system  operates  normally  according  to  the
settings.
NOTE:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of
the  Stop/Start  system  to  prevent  the
compressor from continuously switching on
and off. This will cause rapid misting of the
windows and  the  accumulation  of  humidity
in the passenger compartment.
When  the  Stop/Start  system  is  on,  the
climate control system will always take air in
from outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In  winter  months,  the  Climate  Control  system
must  be  turned  on  at  least  once  a  month  for
approximately 10 minutes.
Have  the  system  inspected  at  an  authorized
dealer before the summer.

compartment.
When  the  glove  compartment  is  opened,  a
light  turns  on  to  illuminate  the  inside  of  the
compartment.
NOTE:
If  equipped  with  a  lock,  unlock  the  glove
compartment by placing the emergency key
in the lock on the handle.
Do not insert large objects that will prevent
the  glove  compartment  from  closing
completely.
