Larger Children
-I
AM170057
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s \
safety
belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child
can wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt
can provide. Accident statistics show that children are safer
if they are
restrained in the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts-properly.

Flow-Through Ventilation System
1
K2 1 90
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air \
to the inside
of your vehicle when
it is moving. With the side windows closed, air will flow
into the front air inlet grilles, through the vehicle and out the rear air exhaust
valves. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heate\
r or the air conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
e
e
e
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or any other
obstruction (such as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan\
to
HI for
a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air
to circulate throughout your vehicle.

Rear Air Conditioning and Heating Systems (Wagon
Models)
If- your vehicle has either or both of these systems, you can inc\
rease and
decrease the air
flow at the rear vents. Depending on the system you have
and the setting selected,
you can send cooled or heated air to the rear of
the vehicle.
Rear Air Conditioning (Without Rear Heater)
Front Control Rear Control
K 2478
If your vehicle has rear air conditioning (without rear heater), \
the controls are
located above the front and second seats. The front and rear \
overhead
controls let you increase and decrease the air flow at the rear vents.
To operate the rear air conditioning system, the front air conditioning system \
must be on. With the front
air conditioning system off, the rear system
controls can be used
to circulate air in the rear of the vehicle.
To operate the rear system using the front control, just turn the knob to
blower position you want.
To use the rear control, first turn the front control knob
to REAR CNTL.
Then, the rear control can be used to increase and decrease the air flow.
