INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT TIME OF
PUBLICATION APPROVAL. THE RIGHT IS
RESERVED TO PUBLISH REVISIONS AT
ANY TIME.
This User Guide has been prepared with the
assistance of service and engineering
specialists to acquaint you with the opera-
tion and maintenance of your new vehicle. It
is supplemented by a Warranty Information
Booklet and various customer-oriented docu -
ments. You are urged to read these publica -
tions carefully. Following the instructions
and recommendations in this User Guide will
help assure safe and enjoyable operation of
your vehicle.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make
changes in design and specifications, and/or
to make additions to or improvements in its
products without imposing any obligations
upon itself to install them on products previ -
ously manufactured. The User Guide illustrates and describes the
features that are standard or available as
extra cost options. Therefore, some of the
equipment and accessories in this publica
-
tion may not appear on your vehicle.
NOTE:
Be sure to read the User Guide first before
driving your vehicle and before attaching or
installing parts/accessories or making other
modifications to the vehicle.
In view of the many replacement parts and
accessories from various manufacturers
available on the market, the manufacturer
cannot be certain that the driving safety of
your vehicle will not be impaired by the
attachment or installation of such parts.
Even if such parts are officially-approved (for
example, by a general operating permit for
the part or by constructing the part in an offi -
cially approved design), or if an individual
operating permit was issued for the vehicle
after the attachment or installation of such
parts, it cannot be implicitly assumed that
the driving safety of your vehicle is unim -
paired. Therefore, neither experts nor official
agencies are liable. The manufacturer only
assumes responsibility when parts, which are
expressly authorized or recommended by the
manufacturer, are attached or installed at an authorized dealer. The same applies when
modifications to the original condition are
subsequently made on the manufacturer's
vehicles.
Your warranties do not cover any part that the
manufacturer did not supply. Nor do they
cover the cost of any repairs or adjustments
that might be caused or needed because of
the installation or use of non-manufacturer
parts, components, equipment, materials, or
additives. Nor do your warranties cover the
costs of repairing damage or conditions
caused by any changes to your vehicle that
do not comply with the manufacturers spec
-
ifications.

NOTE:
Used batteries may be harmful to the envi -
ronment if not disposed of correctly. Always
dispose of used batteries by specialized
battery disposal container, or by taking used
batteries to an authorized dealer. Duplication of key fobs may be performed at
an authorized dealer. This procedure

(Continued)
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic mode during cold start-ups, the
blower fan remains on low until the engine
warms up. The blower increases in speed and
transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of
manual override features. The AUTO symbol
in the front ATC display will be turned off
when the system is being used in the manual
mode.
Operating Tips
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be
protected with a high-quality antifreeze
coolant to provide proper corrosion protec-
tion and to protect against engine over -
heating. OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the engine
cooling system is functioning properly and the
proper amount, type, and concentration of
coolant is used. Use of the Air Recirculation
mode during Winter months is not recom -
mended, because it may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out
of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes, in fresh air with the
blower setting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild, rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear
the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front blower speed. Do not use
the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstruc -
tions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air intake may reduce airflow, and if they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The climate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Contact an autho -
rized dealer to service your cabin air filter,
and to have it replaced when needed. CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild
washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the inte-
rior surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
CAUTION! (Continued)
