General Hints
• Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
• You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless
of the air distribution setting.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside your
vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air
always switched on.
• Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
• To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot
weather, drive with the windows open
until you feel cold air through the air
vents.

Automatic Climate Control
•
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold
is not necessary. Automatic mode is
best recommended to maintain set
temperature.
• The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.
• For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
• If you press AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs air
flow to the windshield and side window
air vents. In addition, the blower motor
may run at a slower speed until the
engine warms up.
• If you press
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system uses
recirculated air to maximize interior
cooling. Blower motor speed may also
reduce until the air cools.
Quickly Heating the Interior
1. Press
AUTO.
2. Adjust the temperature function to the
setting you prefer.
Recommended Settings for
Heating
1. Press
AUTO.
2. Adjust the temperature function to the
setting you prefer. Use

a starting point, then adjust the setting
as necessary.

LOCATING THE TIRE LABEL
You will find a Tire Label
containing tire inflation pressure
by tire size and other important
information located on the B-Pillar
or the edge of the driver's door.
DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM
TIRE QUALITY GRADES
Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic passenger car tires.
The Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire
sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width. For
example: Treadwear 200
Traction AA Temperature A.
These Tire Quality Grades are
determined by standards that the
United States Department of
Transportation has set. Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic passenger car tires.
They do not apply to deep tread,
winter-type snow tires,
space-saver or temporary use
spare tires, light truck or LT type
tires, tires with nominal rim
diameters of 10 to 12 inches or
limited production tires as defined
in Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 575.104 (c)(2).
U.S. Department of
Transportation Tire quality
grades:
The U.S. Department of
Transportation requires us to give
you the following information
about tire grades exactly as the
government has written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150
would wear 1½ times as well on
the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices, and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
