Manual Operation
The air delivery mode or fan speed, can manually
be adjusted.
Fan Speed Knob
9(Off):Select this position to turn off the fan.
Outside air still enters the vehicle. The direction
can be changed by changing the mode position.
The temperature can also be adjusted using either
the up or down arrow temperature buttons.
9(Fan):Turn the knob with the fan symbol to
manually adjust the fan speed.
wxTemperature Control:Press thewand
xarrows to increase or decrease the temperature
inside the vehicle.
Air Delivery Mode Knob
H(Vent):Use this mode to direct air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Use this mode to direct half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, and the
remaining air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):Use this mode to direct most of the
air to the oor outlets with some air directed to the
side window outlets.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost modes. Information on defogging and
defrosting can be found later in this section.
#(Normal Air Conditioning):Press this button
to turn the air conditioning compressor on and
off. A light above the button comes on while the air
conditioning is on.
When air conditioning is selected or is in AUTO
mode, the system runs the air conditioning
automatically to cool and dehumidify the air
entering the vehicle.
While in this mode, the hybrid system does not
shut the engine down at complete stops.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it
takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then
keep your windows closed for the air conditioner
to work its best.

On cool, but sunny days while using manual
operation of the automatic system, use bi-level to
deliver warm air to the oor and cooler air to
the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the
air delivered, press the temperature buttons to
the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system cools and dehumidies
the air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO
mode, the system maximizes its performance by
using recirculation as necessary.
Heating:On cold days when using manual
operation of the automatic system, use oor mode
to deliver air to the oor outlets. To warm or
cool the air delivered, push the temperature
buttons to the desired setting.
To use the automatic mode, turn the knob to
AUTO and adjust the temperature by pressing the
temperature buttons.
When the heater is in use, there might be slight
noise or vibration during Auto Stops. This is due to
the coolant circulation pump that continues to
circulate heat through the system during the
engine Auto Stop.
The heater works best if the windows are kept
closed.h(Recirculation):Press the button to turn on
the recirculation mode. The air inside the vehicle
recirculates through the climate control system and
the vehicle, not from outside your vehicle. This
mode is helpful when trying to limit odors
from entering the vehicle and for maximum air
conditioning performance in hot weather. When the
button is pressed, an indicator light above the
button comes on. The recirculation indicator light
blinks three times if recirculation is used in a
mode in which it cannot function. Only use this
mode when it is needed for comfort, since window
fogging rapidly occurs if the air conditioning
compressor is not engaged.
Press this button to cancel the auto recirculation
feature. Each time the vehicle is started, the
system reverts to the auto recirculation function.
If you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or
oor, the light on the button ashes three times
and then goes out to indicate that this is not
allowed. This is to prevent window fogging.

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of 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 choose from to clear fog or frost from the
windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly.
-(Defog):Turn the mode knob to this position
to select the defog setting, which delivers air to the
oor and windshield outlets. Use this setting to
clear the windows of fog or moisture.
0(Defrost):Turn the mode knob to this position
to defrost the windshield. The system automatically
controls the fan speed if defrost is selected from
the AUTO mode. If the outside temperature is 40°F
(4°C) or warmer, the air conditioning compressor
automatically runs to help dehumidify the air
and dry the windshield. The air conditioning
indicator light blinks three times if the compressor
is turned off while in this mode.
The engine will not perform Auto Stops when the
defrost mode is on.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An indicator light above
the button comes on to show that the rear
window defogger is activated.
If driving below 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window
defogger turns off about 15 minutes after the
button is pressed. If additional warming time is
needed, press the button again.
If the vehicle’s speed is maintained above 50 mph
(80 km/h), the rear window defogger remains
on once the button is pressed.
If your vehicle has heated outside mirrors, the
surface of the outside mirrors also heat when the
rear window defogger is activated. SeeOutside
Power Mirrors on page 126.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.

Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use
cleaners specically designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on surfaces for which
they were not intended. Use glass cleaner only onglass. Remove any accidental over-spray from
other surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice:If you use abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on your vehicle, you
could scratch the glass and/or cause damage
to the rear window defogger. When cleaning
the glass on your vehicle, use only a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to
all safety instructions on the label. While cleaning
your vehicle’s interior, maintain adequate
ventilation by opening your vehicle’s doors and
windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and
knobs using a small brush with soft bristles.
Your retailer has a product for cleaning your
vehicle’s glass. Should it become necessary, you
can also obtain a product from your retailer to
remove odors from your vehicle’s upholstery.
