If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C but not in normal A/C,
this may indicate that the cabin air filter (if equipped) needs to be
replaced.

Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel.
These objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block
airflow and possibly damage your climate control system.

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT

The auxiliary power point is located on the instrument panel.

Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the power point.
