Climate Control – Frequently
Asked Questions
Why is the volume of air to the rear
passenger compartment limited ? Objects may obstruct the air direction
to the rear passenger compartment.
Make sure objects have not been
placed under the front seats.
Why is the volume of air from the air
vents reduced? The air intake area at the base of the
windshield could be obstructed. Make
sure the air intake area is free from any
snow, ice or leaves.

for heating the interior? Auto mode on and instrument panel
and side air vents fully open.
How can I quickly heat the interior? Select the highest blower motor
speed, highest temperature and direct
the air to the footwell air vents.
What are the recommended settings
for cooling the interior? Auto mode on.
How can I quickly cool the interior? Switch maximum cooling on, switch
recirculated air on and drive with the
windows open until you feel cold air
through the air vents. How can I reduce the humidity build-up
inside my vehicle?
Do not drive with the system off or

when the outside temperature and
in-vehicle temperature is high? The system temporarily selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling.

WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
The cabin air filter improves the quality of
air in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollen
and other particles.
LOCATING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
You can locate the cabin air filter behind
the glove box.
REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 391).
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Note: Using an aftermarket cabin air filter
could reduce cabin air filtration and climate
control performance.
