HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER
REAR VENTILATORS
OPERATING TIPS
WARNING:
.
.
The heater and air conditioner operate
only when the engine is running.
Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others
alone in the vehicle. Pets should not be
left alone either. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls and inad-
vertently become involved in a serious
accident and injure themselves. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in
a closed
vehicle could quickly become high en-
ough to cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to people or animals.

Adjust the air flow direction of the ventilators
by moving the center knob (up/down, left/
right) until the desired position is achieved.
.
.
Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
Do not adjust the heating and air con-
ditioning controls while driving so that
full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when
the engine is running. The air blower will
operate even if the engine is turned off and
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
SAA3058
When the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction. After the coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow from the
foot outlets will operate normally.
NOTE:
.
Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air recir-
culation to allow fresh air into the pas-
senger compartment. This should help
reduce odors inside the vehicle.
The sensors
and
located on the instru-
.
ment panel help maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around the
sensors.
