the instrument panel outlets, and the remaining
air to the oor outlets. Slightly cooler air is directed
to the instrument panel outlets and warmer air is
directed to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets with some air directed toward

cabin air through the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your

mode during periods of high humidity and cool
outside temperatures may result in increased
window fogging. If window fogging is experienced,
select the defrost mode.

You can however, connect an external audio
device such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3
player, CD changer, or cassette tape player, etc. to
the auxiliary input jack for use as another source
for audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary
device while the vehicle is in PARK (P). See

an FM-RDS station, the station name or call letters
display. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast
incorrect information that causes the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the
radio station.
