WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time.
•Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
Manual Front Seat AdjustmentOn models equipped with manual seats, the
adjusting bar is located at the front of the seats,
near the floor. While sitting in the seat, lift up on
the bar and move the seat forward or rearward.
Release the bar once you have reached thedesired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be
sure that the seat adjusters have latched.
WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.

the seat belts and while the vehicle is

from a poorly adjusted seat belt.

fog on the inside, because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. Select the out-
side air position for maximum defogging.
•The A/C will engage automatically to pre-
vent fogging when the recirculation but-
ton is pushed and the mode control is set
to panel or panel / floor.
•The A/C can be deselected manually with-
out disturbing the mode control selection.
•When the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position, the recirculation feature
will be cancelled.
Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) — If Equipped
The Automatic Temperature Control system au-
tomatically maintains the climate in the cabin of
the vehicle at the comfort levels desired by the
driver and passenger.Automatic Operation
Operation of the system is quite simple.
1. Turn the Mode Control knob (on the right)
and the Blower Control knob (on the left) to
AUTO.
NOTE:
The AUTO position performs best for front
seat occupants only.Dial in the temperature
you would like the sys-
tem to maintain by rotat-
ing the Temperature
Control knob. Once the
comfort level is se-
lected, the system will
maintain that level auto-
matically using the heat-
ing system. Should the desired comfort level
require air conditioning, the system will auto-
matically make the adjustment.
You will experience the greatest efficiency by
simply allowing the system to function automati-
cally. Selecting the “O” (OFF) position on the
blower control stops the system completely and
closes the outside air intake.
The recommended setting for maximum com-
fort for the average person is 72° F (22° C);
however, this may vary.
