Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads

in the center and on the
side of your instrument
panel to direct the air¯ow.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust the
direction and amount of air¯ow inside the vehicle.
Move the louvers up or down. Use the thumbwheel next
to or underneath the outlet to close the louvers. For
the most efficient air¯ow and temperature control, keep
the outlet in the fully opened position.
Rear seat outlets can be used to adjust air¯ow toward
either seating area, the ¯oor or upward. Move the center
louvers up or down to direct the air¯ow.
Operation Tips
·
Keep the hood and front air inlets 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.
·Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your
vehicle.
·Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air de¯ectors, etc., may affect
the performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
