Recommended settings for cooling:
•Adjust the air distribution control to the A/C position.
If your vehicle is stationary for extended periods during extreme high
ambient temperatures:
•Select the MAX A/C position.
Gas engines:If your vehicle is stationary for long periods of time in
high ambient temperature conditions, your climate control system may
automatically switch from fresh air mode to recirculation mode. This is
normal system operation as it provides protection of the air conditioning
compressor (and related parts). It is recommended that you allow the
system to remain in this mode if it has switched. The system reverts
back to fresh air mode when conditions allow.
For maximum cooling performance, turn the air distribution control to
MAX A/C.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select Panel/Floor.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
6. To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the
vents located in the middle of the instrument panel.
HEATED MIRRORS (IF EQUIPPED)
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it is frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.

REAR SEAT ARMREST (IF EQUIPPED)
To use the armrest, rotate it
forward from the seat back.
HEATED SEATS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat heater. The seat heater may
cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note:Do not do the following:
•Place heavy objects on the seat.
•Operate the seat heater if water or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry thoroughly.
•Operate the heated seats unless the engine is running. Doing so could
drain your vehicle’s battery.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle on dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING:Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in
other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine.
WARNING:If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approximately five miles (eight kilometers)
after you connect it. This is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You may disregard any unusual
driving characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.
When starting your vehicle, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow storm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may become partially clogged with
snow or ice. If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow
or ice away from the air induction inlet.
