1-1 Push this button to
remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most of the air flow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets. In some cold start conditions, the
“AUTO”
blower fan speed may be limited until the cooling system warms up. This
is normal to prevent windshield fogging.
The .fan speed will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature. If
you need more air to your windshield, you should select a
higher fan speed.
It will help a lot if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).
REAR DEFOGGER
I
Push this button to turn
on the rear defogger.
With it, your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after
10 minutes. If further
defrosting is desired, simply push the button again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the heating grids. Your warranty would not,cover this damage.
And don’t put decals there; you might have to scrape them.off.

skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues
-- such as enough water, ice or
packed snow
on the road to make a “mirrored surface’’ -- and slow down
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock braking system
(ABS) helps avoid only the
braking skid.
DRIUNG AT NIGHT
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that
some drivers are likely
to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more
space between
you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlights can light
up only
so much road ahead.

HIGmAY HITNOSIS
Is thh Actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just
plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack
of
awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum
of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and
the rush
of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t
let it happen to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than
a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as an emergency.
