Windshield Defrosting
and Defogging
WARNING Windshield heating
Do not use the position during cooling
operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature
of the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer surface
of the windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility could cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death. In this
case, set the mode selection to the
position and fan speed control to a lower
speed.
• For maximum defrost performance, set the temperature control to the highest
temperature setting and the fan speed
control to the highest setting.
• If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, side
view mirrors, and all side windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up the
inside of the windshield.
To Defog Inside Windshield
B5020401
1. Select the desired fan speed.
2. Select the desired temperature.
3. Touch the defroster icon ( ).
4. When the defogging logic is enabled, Fresh mode is selected and air
conditioning is selected according to
outside temperature.
Check to make sure the air intake control
is in Fresh mode. If the air intake control

Jump starting procedure
Information When you jump start your vehicle, use the
jumper terminal in the motor compartment.
1. Position the vehicles close enough that the jumper cables will reach. Do not
allow the vehicle body parts to contact.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in the motor compartment at all times, even
when the vehicles are turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such as radios, lights, air conditioning, etc. Put
the vehicles in P (Park) and apply the
parking brake. Turn both vehicles OFF.
4. Open the hood.
5. Remove the battery cover located inside of the front trunk.
6. Remove the motor compartment fuse box cover.
CAUTION Before jump starting, make sure to
correctly identify the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals to avoid reverse
polarity connections.
B8001501
7. Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence shown in the illustration. First
connect one jumper cable to the red,
positive (+) jumper terminal of your
vehicle (1).
8. Connect the other end of the jumper cable to the red, positive (+)
battery/jumper terminal of the
assisting vehicle (2).
9. Connect the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-) battery/jumper
terminal of the assisting vehicle (3).
10.Connect the other end of the second jumper cable to the black, negative (-)

Temperature - A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by
law.
WARNING The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under-inflation,
over-inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combination,
can cause heat build-up and possible
sudden tire failure. This may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air pressure
The amount of air inside the tire
pressing outward on the tire. Air
pressure is expressed in lbs. per
square in. (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).Accessory weight
This means the combined weight of
optional accessories. Some examples
of optional accessories are gear,
power seats, and air conditioning.
Aspect ratio
The relationship of a tire’s height to
its width.
Belt
A rubber coated layer of cords that is
located between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made from steel
or other reinforcing materials.
Bead
The tire bead contains steel wires
wrapped by steel cords that hold the
tire onto the rim.
Bias ply tire
A pneumatic tire in which the plies
are laid at alternate angles less than
90 degrees to the centerline of the
tread.
Cold tire pressure
The amount of air pressure in a tire,
measured in lbs. per square in. (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has
built up heat from driving.
Curb weight
This means the weight of a motor
vehicle with standard and optional
equipment including the maximum
capacity of fuel, oil and coolant, but
without passengers and cargo.
