CLIMATE CONTROL HINTS

General Hints

•

Use of the climate system will reduce
your vehicles driving range. Conserve
battery charge by using climate control
features when necessary.

•

Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.

•

You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless
of the air distribution setting.

•

To reduce humidity build-up inside your
vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air
always switched on.

•

Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

•

To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot
weather, drive with the windows open
until you feel cold air through the air
vents.

Automatic Climate Control

•

Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold
is not necessary. Automatic mode is
best recommended to maintain set
temperature.

•

The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.

•

For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.

•

If you press

AUTO

during cold outside

temperatures, the system directs air
flow to the windshield and side window
air vents. The blower motor speed may
reduce until the air warms.

•

If you press

AUTO

during hot

temperatures and the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system uses
recirculated air to maximize interior
cooling. Blower motor speed may also
reduce until the air cools.

FRONT SEAT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Sitting improperly, out

of position or with the seatback reclined
too far can take weight off the seat
cushion and affect the decision of the
passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING:

Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash.

WARNING:

Do not place objects

higher than the top of the seat backrest.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury or death in the
event of a sudden stop or crash.

WARNING:

Do not adjust the driver

seat or seat backrest when your vehicle
is moving. This may result in sudden seat
movement, causing the loss of control
of your vehicle.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

E68595

When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seatbelt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a crash.

We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•

Sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.

•

Do not recline the seat backrest so that
your torso is more than 30 degrees
from the upright position.

•

Adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forward as possible.
Make sure that you remain
comfortable.

•

Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in
(25 cm) between your breastbone and
the airbag cover.

•

Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.

134

Front Seats

•

Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.

•

Position the shoulder strap of the
seatbelt over the center of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.

Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

HEATED SEAT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Use caution when using

the heated seat if you are unable to feel
pain to your skin because of advanced
age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord
injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion or other physical conditions.
The heated seat could cause burns even
at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not poke sharp

objects into the seat cushion or seat
backrest. This could damage the heated
seat element and cause it to overheat.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in personal injury.

It is possible to receive no alert when

there is an occupant in the rear seat, if alert
conditions are not met. For example, if a rear
seat occupant does not enter the vehicle
through a rear door.

WHAT IS THE GARAGE DOOR
OPENER

HomeLink Wireless Control
System

E188211

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
integrated into the driver’s sun visor.

HOW DOES THE GARAGE
DOOR OPENER WORK

The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. You can program garage doors as
well as entry gate operators, security
systems, entry door locks and home or
office lighting.

Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com or by
calling the toll-free help line at
1-800-355-3515.

Note:

You can program a maximum of

three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See

Clearing the Garage

Door Opener

(page 148).

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with any garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.

Note:

Make sure that the garage door and

security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with your vehicle in the garage.

Note:

Make sure you keep the original

remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.

Note:

We recommend that upon the sale

or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See

Clearing the Garage

Door Opener

(page 148).

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
LIMITATIONS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit)
after several seconds – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal.

U.S. gate operators time-out in the same
manner.
