Heating

On cold days, use FLOOR and the outside air button

with the temperature knob all the way in the red area.

The system will bring in outside air, heat it and send

it to the floor outlets.

Your vehicle has heat ducts that are directed toward the

rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear of

obstructions so that the heated air can reach the rear

seat passengers.

If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use

it to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s

cold outside (0 F (

-18 C) or lower). An engine

coolant heater warms the coolant your engine and

heating system use to provide heat. See “Engine

Coolant Heater” in the Index.

Defogging and Defrosting Windows

Your system has two settings for clearing the front and

side windows. For each setting, adjust the temperature

knob as desired.

To defrost the front window quickly, turn the temperature

knob all the way in the red area. Use FRONT DEFROSTER

and adjust the fan to the highest speed. To warm passengers

while keeping the front window clean, use DEFOG.

Your vehicle is equipped with side window defogger

vents. The side window defogger vents are located

above the side instrument panel vents. To defrost the

side windows, turn the temperature knob all the way

in the red area. Use FLOOR and adjust the fan to

the highest speed.

To control fogging of the windows, turn the temperature

knob all the way in the red area. Use DEFOG and adjust

the fan to the highest speed.

To defog the side windows while using air conditioning,

use BI

-LEVEL and adjust the fan to the highest speed

and press the A/C button so that the indicator light is

glowing. For added airflow to the side windows aim

the side vents toward the windows and close the

center vents.
