Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear
it properly.

2. Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight. To see
how, see “Seats” in the Index.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
Do not let it get twisted.The shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt
across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt
go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt is not long enough, seeSafety Belt
Extender on page 1-42.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.
5. Move the shoulder belt height adjuster to the height
that is right for you. SeeShoulder Belt Height
Adjustment on page 1-35.

Temperature Control:Turn the center knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the air
temperature inside your vehicle.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn the
air-conditioning system on or off. When it is pressed, an
indicator light in the button will come on to let you
know that air conditioning is activated.
You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed
to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while
still maintaining the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
#MAX (Maximum Air Conditioning):Turn the right
knob to this position for maximum air conditioning.
This will select air conditioning and recirculation
for maximum cooling of your vehicle. This mode directs
air to the instrument panel outlets.Recirculation:This mode keeps outside air from coming
in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and
odors from entering your vehicle or help heat or cool the
air inside your vehicle more quickly. This mode will
automatically be selected when you select maximum air
conditioning.
((Heated Seats):Press this button to turn on the
heated seats. The button on the left controls the driver’s
seat and the button on the right controls the passenger’s
seat. SeeHeated Seats on page 1-3for additional
information.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity,
or moisture, condensing on the cool window glass.
This can be minimized if the climate control system is
used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost
from your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or
frost from the windshield more quickly.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the windshield and
the oor outlets. When you select this mode, the system
runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in the defog mode.
