Select A/C for air to flow through
these vents:
The A/C mode directs outside air
conditioned air to flow through the
instrument panel vents. The A/C
mode can be used for heating,
ventilating or air conditioning. The
A/C mode only functions if the
outside temperature is above 10ÉC
(50ÉF).
Select MAX A/C for air to flow
through these vents:
The MAX A/C mode recirculates
the air and directs it to flow
through the instrument panel
vents. The MAX A/C mode can be
used for air conditioning or
heating. This mode is noisier but
more economical than A/C mode.
The MAX A/C mode only functions
if the outside temperature is above
10ÉC (50ÉF).
Select the OFF position for all
climate control functions to cease.
The outside inlet door will close
and the fan is shut off.
Drive with the climate control
system on (in either the heating or
air conditioning mode) to reduce
humidity in your vehicle.

Aiming headlamps
The alignment of your headlamps
should be checked if:
²Oncoming motorists frequently
signal you to turn off your
vehicle's high beams when you
do not have the high beams on.
²The headlamps do not seem to
give you enough light to see
clearly at night.
²The headlamp beams are
pointed substantially away from
a position slightly down and to
the right.
Maintenance and care
180

warranty on paperwork, remove
aggressive particles such as bird
droppings, tree sap, insect
remains, tar spots, road salt, and
industrial fallout immediately.
Cleaning the wheels
Wash the wheels with the same
detergent you use to clean the
body of your vehicle. Do not use
acid based wheel cleaners, steel
wool, fuel, or strong detergents.
Never use abrasives that will
damage the finish of special wheel
surfaces. Use a tar and road oil
remover to remove grease and tar.
Cleaning plastic parts
Some of your vehicle's trim parts
are plastic. Clean with a tar and
road oil remover if necessary. Use
a vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning.
Do not clean plastic parts with
thinners, solvents or petroleum
based cleaners.
Cleaning the instrument panel
Any cleaner or polish that
increases the gloss of the upper
portion of the instrument panel
should be avoided. The dull finish
in this area is to help protect the
driver from undesirable windshield
reflection.
Cleaning the exterior lamps
Do not use dry paper towel,
chemical solvents, or abrasive
cleaners to clean the lamps; these
products may cause scratches or
crack the lamps.
