    AUTO:
     Press the button to turn on automatic operation. Select the desired
    temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts fan speed, air
    distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside air or recirculated
    air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature. You
    can also use the 
    AUTO button to turn off dual zone operation by pressing and
    holding the button for more than two seconds.
    K
    Recirculated air:
     Press the button to switch between outside air and
    recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the
    passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool
    the interior (when used with 
    A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from
    entering your vehicle.
    L
    Note:
     Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning
    on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
    air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow
    modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
    Heated rear window:
     Press the button to switch the heated rear window on
    and off.  See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 90).

    HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
    INTERIOR CLIMATE
    General Hints WARNING
    Prolonged use of recirculated air may
    cause the windows to fog up. If the
    windows fog up, follow the settings
    for demisting the windshield. Note:
    You may feel a small amount of air
    from the footwell air vents regardless of the
    air distribution setting.
    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.
    Manual Climate Control
    Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
    during humid weather, adjust the air
    distribution control to the windshield air
    vents position.
    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.

    with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass
    when it is frozen in place. Note:
    Do not clean the mirror housing or
    glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
    petroleum-based cleaning products.
    CABIN AIR FILTER
    Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
    filter, which gives you and your passengers
    the following benefits:
    • It improves your driving comfort by
    reducing particle concentration.
    • It improves the interior compartment
    cleanliness.
    • It protects the climate control
    components from particle deposits.
    You can locate the cabin air filter behind
    the glove box.
    Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
    installed at all times. This prevents foreign
    objects from entering the system. Running
    the system without a filter in place could
    result in degradation or damage to the
    system.
    Replace the filter at regular intervals.
    For additional cabin air filter information,
    or to replace the filter, see an authorized
    dealer.

    							SITTING IN THE CORRECT
    POSITION
    WARNINGS
    Do not recline the seat backrest too
    far as this can cause the occupant
    to slide under the safety belt,
    resulting in serious injury in the event of a
    crash. Sitting improperly, out of position or
    with the seat backrest reclined too
    far, can result in serious injury or
    death in the event of a crash. Always sit
    upright against your seat backrest, with
    your feet on the floor. Do not place objects higher than the
    seat backrest to reduce the risk of
    serious injury in the event of a crash
    or during heavy braking. When you use them properly, the seat,
    head restraint, safety belt and airbags will
    provide optimum protection in the event
    of a crash. We recommend that you follow these
    guidelines:
    •
    Sit in an upright position with the base
    of your spine as far back as possible.
    • Do not recline the seat backrest more
    than 30 degrees.
    • Adjust the head restraint so that the
    top of it is level with the top of your
    head and as far forward as possible.
    Make sure that you remain
    comfortable.
    • Keep sufficient distance between
    yourself and the steering wheel. We
    recommend a minimum of 10 inches
    (25 centimeters) between your
    breastbone and the airbag cover.
    • Hold the steering wheel with your arms
    slightly bent.
    • Bend your legs slightly so that you can
    press the pedals fully.
    • Position the shoulder strap of the
    safety belt over the center of your
    shoulder and position the lap strap
    tightly across your hips.
    Make sure that your driving position is
    comfortable and that you can maintain full
    control of your vehicle.
    HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
    Raise the rear head restraint when
    the rear seat is occupied by a
    passenger.
    Do not remove the front head
    restraints when the front seats are
    in use.
    Note:
     Adjust the head restraint so that the
    top of it is level with the top of your head.
