HINTS ON CONTROLLING
THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated
air may cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of
air from the footwell air vents
regardless of the air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up
inside your 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.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Do not adjust the settings when
your vehicle interior is extremely hot or
cold. The system automatically adjusts
to the previously stored settings. For
the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures
with AUTO selected, the system directs
air toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine
remains cold.
Note: When you switch the system off,
outside air cannot enter your vehicle.

WARNING
People who are unable to feel
pain to their skin because of
advanced age, chronic illness,
diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions, must
exercise care when using the heated
seat. The heated seat may cause
burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods of
time. Do not place anything on the
seat that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the heated seat to overheat. Do
not puncture the seat with pins,
needles or other pointed objects. This
may damage the heating element
which may cause the heated seat to
overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury. Do not do the following:
•
Place heavy objects on the seat.
• Operate the heated seat if water
or any other liquid is spilled on the
seat. Allow the seat to dry
thoroughly.
• Operate the heated seats unless
the engine is running. Doing so can
cause the battery to lose charge. Press the heated seat symbol to cycle
through the various heat settings and
off. Warmer settings are indicated by
more indicator lights.
