Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver's door when the key is in the ignition and
the ignition switch position is STOP (OFF/LOCK) sounds a
signal to remove the key.
WARNING!
• Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the transmission into PARK, apply the parking brake, and remove the
key fob from the vehicle. When leaving the vehicle,
always lock your vehicle. In case you switch off the
vehicle and the transmission is not in PARK position, a
warning message will appear on the cluster which
suggests you to shift the transmission into PARK posi -
tion and, then, you can remove the key within 15
seconds. If 15 seconds expire, you have to rotate the key
from OFF/LOCK position to ON/RUN position and
come back to OFF/LOCK position in order to remove
the key.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a
vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally
injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in alocation accessible to children. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause
serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always remove the
key from the ignition and lock all the doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
WARNING! (Continued)

Windshield Washers
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steering
wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will activate auto-
matically for three cycles after the lever is released. Manual High Speed/Mist
Push the lever upward from the off position. The wipers will
operate at high speed to clear off road mist or spray from a
passing vehicle. This operation will continue until the lever
is released. When the lever is released, the wipers will return
to the off position and automatically shut off.
Rear Wiper Operation — If Equipped
Rear Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring upwards to
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
• In intermittent mode when the front window wiper is not
operating
• In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the front window wiper) when the front window wiper is operating
• In continuous mode while vehicle is in REVERSE
With the windshield wipers on, and REVERSE gear engaged,
rear window wiping will be continuous in the same way.
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. Damage to the windshield
wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the off posi -
tion. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and
the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to
the wiper motor may occur.

A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air Conditioning (A/C). A LED will illuminate when the A/C
system is engaged. The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control
selection.
Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air mode.
Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are
present. Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost. Recirculation may be unavailable if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the windshield. Continuous use of the
Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended.
Rear Defrost Button — If Equipped
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control button to turn on the rear window defroster and the heated
outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator will illuminate when the rear window defroster is on. The
rear window defroster automatically turns OFF after 20 minutes.
Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the
knob counterclockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indicates cooler temperatures.
Rotating the knob clockwise, into the red area, indicates warmer temperatures.

Blower Control
There are four blower speeds. Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the system
in any mode you select. The blower speed increases as you move the control clockwise from the OFF
position.
Modes Control
Rotate this control to change the airflow distribution mode. The airflow distribution mode can be
adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist
outlets. The Mode settings are as follows:
Panel Mode Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted
to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and
down or side to side to regulate airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes
to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and
warmer air from the floor outlets.

System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be turned on at
least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealer before the
Summer.Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to
manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning system.

cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This setting is good for
maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost
Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings for best windshield and side window
defrosting and defogging. Turn the knob to the Front Defrost position. Air comes from the windshield
and side window demist outlets.

air conditioning and manually adjust the blower and airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only Panel, Bi-Level
or Floor modes.
NOTE:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix orDefrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the A/C
system shall remain active to prevent fogging of the
windows.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass, select Defrost mode, and increase blower speed if needed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (located in
front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front of the radi -
ator and through the condenser.
Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The Recirculation feature may be
unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield. The recirculation mode is not
allowed in Defrost mode to improve window clearing oper -
ation. On systems with Manual Climate Controls (if equipped) the
Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the LED in the
control button to blink and then turns off.
Operating Tips
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for suggested
control settings for various weather conditions.
Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against engine overheating. Organic
Additive Technology (OAT) coolant (conforming to MS.90032)
is recommended. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Tech
-
nical Specifications” for proper coolant selection.
