HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE

INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

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 cabin 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.

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.

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.
