Operating Tips
• Keep the area under the front
seats clear of objects to help air
circulate through the vehicle.
• Before using the air condition-
ing system, open the windows
for a few minutes to permit hot
air to escape if the vehicle has
been parked in direct sunlight.
• For maximum cooling, select
the ventilation mode and the
highest fan speed. Make
sure the air conditioning
compressor is turned on.
Rotate the temperature control
knob to select the coolest
temperature and activate the
recirculation mode.
• To defog the windows on rainy
days or in high humidity,
turn on the air conditioning
compressor.
• Turn on the air conditioning for
a few minutes at least once a
week, even in the winter or
when the air conditioning
system is not being used
regularly. This maintains proper
lubrication of the compressor
and seals, prolonging the
service life of the system.
• Driving in stop-and-go traffic
may reduce the effectiveness of
the air conditioning system.
• The fan must be turned on
for the air conditioning
compressor to work.
• To quickly defog or defrost the
front windshield, use the
defrosting mode, set the
temperature to warm, and set
the fan at the highest speed.
• Defroster mode will operate
with the air conditioner on or
off.
• Turn the air conditioner on to
improve the efficiency of the
defroster.
• Do not use the
heating/defogging mode
or the defrosting mode in
extremely humid weather
when the temperature control
is set to cold.

Section 1
Rear Window Defogger (If
equipped)
CAUTION
Less than clear vision for the
driver can lead to an accident
resulting in personal injury and
damage to your vehicle or other
property.
The ignition must be on for this
feature to work.
Press this button to defog your
rear window. To turn it off, press
the button again or turn off the
ignition. Otherwise, it will go off
by itself after 15 minutes. To make
it turn back on, just press the
button again.
The outside mirrors may be heated
every time the rear defogger is
activated.
The indicator light in the button
will glow when the system is on.
Be sure to turn the defogger off
after the window is clear.
NOTICE
Do not use the rear window
defogger under the following
conditions:
• Engine is not running.
• You are just starting your
vehicle.
• There is a buildup of snow or
ice on the rear window.
Operating the rear window
defogger under these condi-
tions could drain the battery.
This can damage your vehicle,
requiring the replacement of
some parts.
