Introduction

Maximum Cooling Performance in
Instrument Panel or Instrument
Panel and Footwell Positions
1. Adjust the temperature control to the
lowest setting.
2. Press the A/C and recirculated air
buttons.
3. Adjust the fan speed to the highest
setting initially and then adjust it to suit

HEATED WINDOWS AND
MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window
Note:You must switch the ignition on to
use this feature.
Press the button to clear the rear window
of thin ice and fog. Press the button again
within 14 minutes to switch it off. It
switches off automatically after 14
minutes, or when you switch the ignition
off.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
objects to clean the inside of the rear
window or to remove decals from the
inside of the rear window. This may
cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this
damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to readjust the
mirror glass that has frozen in place. These
actions could cause damage to the glass
and mirrors.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.The heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog when you switch on the heated rear
window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note:Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system
Your cabin air filter is located under the
instrument panel in the passenger footwell
area. The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen
in the air supplied to the interior of your
vehicle.
The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
the Scheduled Maintenance chapter.
For more information about your filter, see
an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START (IF EQUIPPED)
The climate control system adjusts the
cabin temperature during remote start.
