vehicle, do not drive with the system switched
off or with recirculated air always switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow to
the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield. Note:
To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather, drive
with the windows open until you feel cold air
through the air vents.

Adjusting the settings when your vehicle
interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. The system automatically adjusts
to heat or cool the cabin to your selected
temperature as quickly as possible. For the
system to function efficiently, the instrument
panel and side air vents should be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs airflow to
the windshield and side window vents. In
addition, the fan may run at a slower speed
until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.
