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.
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 the air
stream toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine remains
cold.
Note: When you switch off the system,
outside air does not enter your vehicle.
Note: When the system is in AUTO mode,
and the interior and exterior temperatures
are high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the interior reaches the
selected temperature, the system
automatically selects outside air.
Note: When you select windshield
defrosting and defogging, the instrument
panel and footwell level functions switch
off automatically and air conditioning
switches on. Outside air flows into your
vehicle.
For maximum cooling performance, press
MAX A/C.
To aid in side window defogging and
demisting in cold weather, press the floor
vent button.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning.
•
Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to

(or both).
