To prevent damage or loss of cargo while you are
driving, check now and then to make sure the
luggage and cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
If small heavy objects are placed on the roof,
cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to t inside
the crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
Tie the plywood to the siderail supports.
Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail
supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move a crossrail, turn
the release knobs, on both sides of the rail,
counterclockwise to loosen it. Slide the
crossrail to the desired position balancing the
force side to side. Turn the release knobs,
on both sides of the rail, clockwise to tighten
it. Try to slide the crossrail back and forth
slightly to be sure it is tight.
If you need to carry long items, move the
crossrails as far apart as they will go. Tie
the load to the crossrails and the siderails
or siderail supports. Also tie the load to
the bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly
that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.
After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted
Stoplamp (CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle,
care should be taken not to block or damage
the CHMSL unit.

Climate Controls
Dual Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, defrost, defog and ventilation of
your vehicle.
Manual Operation
Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to direct the airow inside of your vehicle.To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air
to the instrument panel outlets and to the
oor outlets. The ow can be divided between
vent and oor outlets depending upon where the
knob is placed between the settings. A little
air is directed towards the windshield and side
window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air
to the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
will automatically select outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected when in Floor Mode.
The right knob can also be used to select defog
or defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
By positioning the right knob between two modes,
a combination of those two modes is selected.

The air conditioning compressor will be on unless
the outside temperature is close to freezing.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the fan speed. Turn the knob all the way
counterclockwise to turn the front system off.
:(Outside Air):Press this button to turn
on the outside air mode. When this mode
is selected, air from outside the vehicle will
circulate throughout your vehicle. An indicator
light on the button will come on to let you know
that it is activated. The outside air mode can
be used with all modes, but it cannot be used
with the recirculation mode. Pressing this button
again will cancel the recirculation mode.
?(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
on the recirculation mode. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air
and prevent odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculation may also help cool the air inside your
vehicle more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
light will ash three times and turn off. The air
conditioning compressor will also come on when
this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode
the windows may fog when the weather is cold and
damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog or
defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
Recirculation mode can be turned off by pressing
the button again, or turning off the engine.
Temperature Control:Rotate the thumbwheels
up or down to increase or decrease the
temperature on the driver’s side or the passenger
side to the vehicle for the dual zone system.

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button on
the left knob to turn the air conditioning system
on or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator
light will come on to let you know that the
air conditioning has been activated.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath
your vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the
cool window glass. This can be minimized if
the climate control system is used properly.
There are two modes to clear fog or frost from
your windshield. Turn the right knob clockwise
to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):The defog mode is used to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. This mode directs air to the
windshield, oor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):The defrost mode is used to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. This mode directs a portion of the air
to the windshield and side window vents and
some to the oor vents. In this mode, the system
will automatically force outside air into your
vehicle. The recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in the defrost mode. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting,
unless the outside temperature is close to
freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
