Maintain a Sitting Proper Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on their seat belts, it is very
important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet
on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the power system is off.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if
an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or
sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly
increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the seat can be seriously or fatally
injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an
inflating front airbag.

Maintain a Sitting Proper Position

WARNING

Sitting improperly or out of position can
result in serious injury or death in a crash.

Always sit upright, well back in the seat,
with your feet on the floor.

Climate Control System

Using Automatic Climate Control

The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select.
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air to raise or lower the
interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.

Use the system when the

power system is ON.

1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side control

buttons.

3. Press the

button to cancel.

Using Automatic Climate Control

Press the CLIMATE button to display A/C, MODE, fan
control information on the audio/information screen
for several seconds. Select icon to turn on or off A/C,
change the vent mode, or change the fan speed.

If any buttons are pressed while using the climate
control system in auto, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.

The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions
unrelated to the button that was pressed will be
controlled automatically.

To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the
fan may not start immediately when the AUTO
button is pressed.

If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down
more rapidly by partially opening the windows,
turning the system to AUTO, and setting the
temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.

When you set the temperature to the lower or upper
limit, Lo or Hi is displayed.

Pressing the

button switches the climate control

system on or off. When turned on, the system returns
to your last selection.

*1: MID vents provide supplemental air to the lower
body of the occupant(s). MID vents can be used
together with any other vent mode.

Defrosting the Windshield and Windows

Defrosting the Windshield and Windows

For your safety, make sure you have a clear view
through all the windows before driving.

Do not set the temperature near the upper or lower
limit.
When cold air hits the windshield, the outside of the
windshield may fog up.

If the side windows fog up, adjust the vents so that
the air hits the side windows.

To rapidly defrost the windows

After defrosting the windows, switch over to fresh air
mode. If you keep the system in recirculation mode,
the windows may fog up from humidity. This
impedes visibility.
