Note:
To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note:
Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note:
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note:
To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning:
•
Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to
59°F (15°C).
•
Set the air distribution to panel or floor
(or both).
•
Press
A/C
to turn the air conditioning
off.
•
Press the recirculated air button so
fresh air enters the vehicle.
•
Press the fan button until the fan is at
its lowest setting.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the interior to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
For the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents should
be fully open.
Note:
If you select
AUTO
during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
airflow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note:
If you select
AUTO
during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.
