CLIMATE CONTROL HINTS
General Hints
• Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
• You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless
of the air distribution setting.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside your
vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air
always switched on.
• Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
• 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.
Automatic Climate Control
• Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold
is not necessary. Automatic mode is
best recommended to maintain set
temperature.
• The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.
• For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open. •
If you press AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs air
flow to the windshield and side window
air vents.In addition, the blower motor
may run at a slower speed until the
engine warms up.
• If you press
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system uses
recirculated air to maximize interior
cooling. Blower motor speed may also
reduce until the air cools.
