Climate Controls 8-5
# (Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning (A/C)
compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on.
Pressing this button when the
outside temperature is too cool for
air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator flash 3 times
and then turn off indicating the air
conditioning mode is not available.
If the air conditioning is on and the
outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air
conditioning light turns off to show
that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long
enough to let hot inside air escape.
This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently. The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is
normal.
@ (Recirculation): Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off. An
indicator light comes on to show
that the recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to help
prevent outside air and odors from
entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defog, or defrost
modes. If recirculation is selected
with one of those modes, the
indicator light flashes three times
and then turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also
comes on when this mode is
activated. While in recirculation mode the windows may fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To
clear the fog, select either the defog
or defrost mode and increase the
fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be
turned off by turning off the ignition.
REAR (Rear Climate Control): For
vehicles with the rear heating and
air conditioning controls. Press the
REAR button to turn the rear climate
control system on or off. See Rear
Climate Control System (Rear
Climate with Rear Seat Audio) on
page 8 ‑ 6 .
Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.

10-94 Vehicle Care At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody
with plain water. Clean any areas
where mud and debris can collect.
Dirt packed in close areas of the
frame should be loosened before
being flushed. Your dealer or an
underbody car washing system can
do this.
Chemical Paint Spotting Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted surfaces on
the vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job
causes this, we will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces
of new vehicles damaged by this
fallout condition within 12 months or
20 000 km (12,000 mi) of purchase,
whichever occurs first. Interior Care The interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although
not always visible, dust and dirt can
accumulate on the upholstery. Dirt
can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular
vacuuming is recommended
to remove particles from the
upholstery. It is important to keep
the upholstery from becoming and
remaining heavily soiled. Soils
should be removed as quickly
as possible. The 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 home
furnishings may also transfer color
to the interior.
When cleaning the interior, only
use cleaners specifically 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 on glass.
Remove any accidental over-spray
from other surfaces immediately. To
prevent over-spray, apply cleaner
directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice: Using abrasive cleaners
when cleaning glass surfaces on
the vehicle, could scratch the
glass and/or cause damage to
the rear window defogger. When
cleaning the glass on the vehicle,
use only a soft cloth and glass
cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents
that may become concentrated in
the breathing space. Before using
cleaners, read and adhere to all
safety instructions on the label.
While cleaning the interior, maintain
adequate ventilation by opening the
doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small
buttons and knobs using a small
brush with soft bristles.
