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:

To improve the time to reach comfort

in hot weather, drive with the windows slightly

open for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until

your vehicle airs out.

Automatic Climate Control

Note:

Adjusting the settings when your vehicle

interior is extremely hot or cold is not

necessary. The system automatically adjusts

to heat or cool the cabin to your selected

temperature as quickly as possible. For the

system to function efficiently, the instrument

panel and side air vents should be fully open.
