8-8 Climate Controls
@(Recirculation):Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off. An
indicator light comes on to show
that the recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to help
prevent outside air and odors from
entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot
be used with floor, defog, or
defrost modes. If recirculation
is selected with one of those
modes, the indicator light flashes
three times and then turns off. The
air conditioning compressor also
comes on when this mode is
activated. While in recirculation
mode the windows may fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either the
defog or defrost mode and increase
the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be
turned off by turning off the ignition.

heat and air conditioning controls.
Press to turn the rear climate control
system on or off. See Rear Climate
Control System (Rear Climate

page 8‑11.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. It automatically
turns off several minutes after it has
been activated. The defogger can
also be turned off by turning off the
engine. Do not drive the vehicle until
all the windows are clear.
Notice: Do not use a razor blade
or sharp object to clear the inside
rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid
lines in the rear glass. These
actions may damage the rear
defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.

10-102 Vehicle Care
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody
with plain water. Clean any areas
where mud and debris can collect.
Dirt packed in close areas of the
frame should be loosened before
being flushed. Your dealer or an
underbody car washing system can
do this.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted surfaces on
the vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job
causes this, we will repair, at no
charge to the owner, the surfaces
of new vehicles damaged by this
fallout condition within 12 months or
20 000 km (12,000 mi) of purchase,
whichever occurs first.
Interior Care
The interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although
not always visible, dust and dirt can
accumulate on the upholstery. Dirt
can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular
vacuuming is recommended
to remove particles from the
upholstery. It is important to keep
the upholstery from becoming and
remaining heavily soiled. Soils
should be removed as quickly
as possible. The interior may
experience extremes of heat that
could cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may
require more frequent cleaning.
Use care because newspapers and
garments that transfer color to home
furnishings may also transfer color
to the interior.When cleaning the interior, only
use cleaners specifically designed
for the surfaces being cleaned.
Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on surfaces for
which they were not intended.
Use glass cleaner only on glass.
Remove any accidental over-spray
from other surfaces immediately. To
prevent over-spray, apply cleaner
directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice:
Using abrasive cleaners
when cleaning glass surfaces on
the vehicle, could scratch the
glass and/or cause damage to
the rear window defogger. When
cleaning the glass on the vehicle,
use only a soft cloth and glass
cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that
may become concentrated in the
breathing space. Before using
cleaners, read and adhere to all
safety instructions on the label.
While cleaning the interior, maintain
adequate ventilation by opening the
doors and windows.
