3-4 Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use floor mode with the
temperature knob turned clockwise. Blend mode is
useful in cool weather when you have fog or ice on the
windshield or side windows.
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See ªEngine Coolant Heaterº in the Index.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use blend mode to keep the
windshield and side windows clear.
Use defrost mode to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extreme humid or cold conditions.
Turn the temperature knob clockwise and move the fan
knob toward high.
Rear Window Defogger (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, the rear window
will have lines that warm
the glass.
For best results, clear the window of as much snow or
ice as possible before using the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window defogger, find the button
marked REAR with the defog symbol on the lower right
corner of your climate control system. Press the button
until the light in the button comes on, then release it. It
will only work if the ignition switch is turned to RUN.
Pressing the REAR button on your climate control
system will also activate your heated outside mirrors
(if equipped). This will help to keep ice and snow from
collecting on your mirror surfaces.

The rear window defogger will stay on for five to seven
minutes, then turn off. If you need additional warming
time, turn it on again. You can turn the defogger off at
any time by pressing the button.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use vent mode to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle's ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. When the
vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow
through by selecting any mode except max A/C and any
fan speed.
You will find air outlets in the center and on the sides of
your instrument panel.
You can direct the airflow side
-to-side by turning the
thumbwheel located in the center of the vent. The vent
can be tilted up and down also. To control the amount of
airflow through the outlets, turn the thumbwheel below
the vent.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the
fan knob to high for a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
