Climate Control Influence on Fuel
Economy
The climate control system depends
on other vehicle systems for heat and
power input. Certain climate control
settings can lead to higher fuel usage.
The following climate control settings
use more fuel:
.
MAX air conditioning mode
. Defrost mode
. Extreme temperature settings,
such as 15° C (60° F) or 32° C
(90° F)
. High fan speed settings
To help reduce fuel usage:
. Use the full automatic control as
described under “Automatic
Operation.”
. Select a temperature setting that
is higher in hot weather and lower
in cold weather.
. Turn off the air conditioning when
it is not needed.
. Only use defrost to clear the
windows.

146 CLIMATE CONTROLS
Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the
defrost grille in the middle of the
instrument panel, monitors the solar
heat. Do not cover the solar sensor or
the system will not work properly.There is also an exterior temperature
sensor behind the front grille. This
sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps maintain the
temperature inside the vehicle. Any
cover on the front of the vehicle could
cause a false reading in the displayed
temperature.
The climate control system uses the
information from these sensors to
maintain comfort settings by
adjusting the outlet temperature, fan
speed, and air delivery mode. The
system may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the sun.
The recirculation mode will also be
used as needed to maintain cool
outlet temperatures.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the center
and on the sides of the instrument
panel, and on the rear of the center
console storage.
Move the slider knobs to change the
direction of or to close off the airf low.
Operation Tips
.
Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves
from air inlets at the base of the
windshield that could block the
flow of air into the vehicle.
. Clear snow off the hood to
improve visibility and help
decrease moisture drawn into the
vehicle.

to handle potential distractions.
. Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings. Program
all trip information into any
navigation device prior to driving.
. Wait until the vehicle is parked to
retrieve items that have fallen to
the floor.

children.
. Keep pets in an appropriate carrier
or restraint.

{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.
Refer to the infotainment manual for
more information on using that
system and the navigation system,
if equipped, including pairing and
using a cell phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first step
in driving defensively is to wear the
seat belt. See Seat Belts050.
. Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other
drivers) are going to be careless
and make mistakes. Anticipate
what they may do and be ready.
. Allow enough following distance
between you and the driver in
front of you.
. Focus on the task of driving.
Drunk Driving
Death and injury associated with
drinking and driving is a global
tragedy.
{Warning
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even a
small amount of alcohol. You can
have a serious —or even fatal —
collision if you drive after drinking.
Do not drink and drive or ride with
a driver who has been drinking.
Ride home in a cab; or if you are
with a group, designate a driver
who will not drink.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control
a vehicle while driving.
