changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window along
with the override selection.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
Operating tips
²In humid weather, select FRONTbefore driving. This will prevent
your windshield from fogging. After a few minutes, select any desired
position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air
conditioner as you would normally.
²If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C but not in normal A/C,
this may indicate that the cabin air filter (if equipped) needs to be
replaced.
²When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to
not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These
objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and
possibly damage your climate control system.

CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter restricts the entry of airborne dust and pollen
particles. The filter is located just in front of the windshield under the
cowl vent screen on the passenger side of the vehicle.
To replace the filter, perform the following procedure:
1. In order to gain better access to the filter, turn the ignition key to ON,
then turn the wipers on. When the wipers reach the middle of the
windshield (wipers in straight up position), turn the ignition to OFF.
2. Release and open the hood.
