GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Floor ModeAir comes from the floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets. This setting heats the
passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost,
and side window demister outlets. This
setting works best in cold or snowy
conditions that require extra heat to the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining
comfort while reducing moisture on the
windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air flow is distributed between the
windshield demisting/defrosting vents
and side/central dashboard vents. This
setting allows air to flow to the
windshield on sunny days.
Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode
Air flow is distributed to all vents.

The automatic system adjusts the temperature,
quantity, and distribution of air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also controls air
recirculation and the activation of the air
conditioner.
At any time during automatic operation, you can
change the temperature, activate or deactivate
the Rear Defrost, activate SYNC, activate or
deactivate the air conditioner, and activate or
deactivate air recirculation. The system will
automatically adjust to the new settings.
Climate Control Display Settings
The Climate Control settings are visible on the
radio screen.
The display on the radio system is a pop up
window, which is activated by pushing the
buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate
Control system. The indicator lights located on the number of buttons and knobs indicate that
the selected feature is on/off. If no operation is
performed for a predetermined time, the pop-up
will close on the display.
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 recircu
-
lation 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.

(Continued)
The Tire Service Kit includes:
Sealant cartridge containing the sealing fluid.
Filler tube.
Adhesive label with the writing "Max. 50 mph
(80 km/h)”, to be attached in a position easily
visible to the driver (e.g. on the dashboard)
after repairing the tire.
Air compressor, complete with pressure gauge
and connectors.
An instruction pamphlet for reference in
prompt and correct use of the Tire Service Kit,
which must be then given to the personnel
dealing with the sealant-treated tire.
A pair of protective gloves.
Adaptors for inflating different elements.
Tire Service Kit Components

NOTE:
The sealant is effective with external tempera -
tures of between -40°F (-40°C) and 122°F
(50°C). The sealant has an expiration date.
To use the Tire Service Kit, proceed as follows:

1. Stop the vehicle in a position where you can repair the tire safely. You should be as far as
possible from the side of the road, and in a posi -
tion that is not dangerous for oncoming traffic.
Activate the Hazard Warning Flashers, remove
the safety triangle from the trunk, and place it at
a suitable distance from the vehicle to make
other drivers aware of your presence.

2. Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is near
to the ground. This will allow the tire service
kit hoses to reach the valve stem and keep
the tire repair kit flat on the ground.
3. Place the gear selector to PARK (P).
4. Apply the Electric Park Brake and cycle the engine OFF.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
1 — Sealant Cartridge
2 — Filler Tube
3 — Adhesive Label
4 — Air Compressor
WARNING!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of
the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far enough
off the road to avoid the danger of being hit
when using the Tire Service Kit.
Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the
vehicle under the following circumstances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is approx-
imately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage.
•If the tire has any damage from driving
with extremely low tire pressure.
• If the tire has any damage from driving
on a flat tire.
• If the wheel has any damage.
• If you are unsure of the condition of the
tire or the wheel.
Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames
or heat sources.
A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
Tire Service Kit in the place provided. Failure
to follow these warnings can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you.
Take care not to allow the contents of Tire
Service Kit to come in contact with hair, eyes,
or clothing. Tire Service Kit sealant is harmful
if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through
the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respiratory
irritation. Flush immediately with plenty of
water if there is any contact with eyes or skin.
Change clothing as soon as possible, if there
is any contact with clothing.
Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains
latex. In case of an allergic reaction or rash,
consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire
Service Kit out of reach of children. If
swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with
plenty of water and drink plenty of water. Do
not induce vomiting! Consult a physician
immediately.
