Sensors
The solar sensor, located in
the defrost grille in the middle
of the instrument panel,
monitors the solar heat. Do
not cover the solar sensor or
the system will not work
properly.
There is also an exterior
temperature sensor behind
the front grille. This sensor
reads the outside air
temperature and helpsmaintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. Any cover
on the front of the vehicle,
could cause a false reading in
the displayed temperature.
The climate control system
uses the information from
these sensors to maintain
comfort settings by adjusting
the outlet temperature, fan
speed, and air delivery mode.
The system may also supply
cooler air to the side of the
vehicle facing the sun. The
recirculation mode will also be
used as needed to maintain
cool outlet temperatures.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain
conditions, the fan may stay
on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn
off and lock the vehicle. This is
normal.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the
center and on the sides of the
instrument panel, and on the
rear of the center console
storage.

Information
Driving for Better
Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving
tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to
the desired temperature
after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not
required.
.Avoid fast starts and
accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for
long periods of time.
.When road and weather
conditions are appropriate,
use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly
when conditions require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
.Combine several trips into a
single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires
with the same TPC Spec
number molded into the
tire's sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended
scheduled maintenance.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many
forms and can take your focus
from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities
divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted
laws regarding driver
distraction. Become familiar
with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving,
keep your eyes on the road,
keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
.Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or
other electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat
passenger to handle
potential distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such
as programming favorite
radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat
settings. Program all trip
information into any
navigation device prior to
driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is
parked to retrieve items that
have fallen to the floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to
tend to children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
