or ACC. Push the lighter in all the way and let go.

causing damage.

You can also swing them to the side. The visors have
extensions to give additional sun blockage.

auxiliary electrical equipment. The accessory power
outlet is located in the center console near the parking

Your vehicle has air outlets
that allow you to adjust the
direction and amount of
airflow inside the vehicle.
You can direct the airflow side
-to-side by turning the
thumbwheel located in the center of the vent. The vent
can be tilted up and down also. To control the amount of
airflow though the outlets, turn the thumbwheel below
the vent.
Ventilation Tips
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, move the fan
control lever toward the fan symbol 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.
Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
