combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.

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 a

comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

Manual Climate Control

Note:

To reduce fogging of the windshield

during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.

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 interior 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.

Note:

If you select 

AUTO

 during cold

temperatures, the system directs airflow to
the windshield and side window vents. In
addition, the fan may run at a slower speed
until the engine warms up.

Note:

If you select 

AUTO

 during hot

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

CABIN AIR FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which gives you and your passengers
the following benefits:
•

It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.

•

It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.

•

It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.

You can locate the cabin air filter behind
the glove box.

Note:

Make sure you have a cabin air filter

installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.

Replace the filter at regular intervals.  See

Scheduled Maintenance

 (page 416).

For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION

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.

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.

•

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.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

WARNING: 

Fully adjust the head

restraint before you sit in or operate your
vehicle. This will help minimize the risk
of neck injury in the event of a crash. Do
not adjust the head restraint when your
vehicle is moving.

125

Seats

WARNING: 

The head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it
should be installed and properly
adjusted when the seat is occupied.
Failure to adjust the head restraint
properly could reduce its effectiveness
during certain impacts.

WARNING: 

Adjust the head

restraints for all passengers before you
drive your vehicle. This will help minimize
the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash. Do not adjust the head restraints
when your vehicle is moving.

Note:

Adjust the seat backrest to an upright

driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. 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. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
OPENER

HomeLink Wireless Control
System

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 the 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 

Erasing the Function

Button Codes

 later in this section.

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 

Erasing the Function

Button Codes

.

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.

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.
