Climate Control - Vehicles With: Manual Temperature Control

WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR
FILTER

The cabin air filter improves the quality of
air in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollen
and other particles.

LOCATING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER

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

REPLACING THE CABIN AIR
FILTER

Replace the filter at regular intervals. See

Scheduled Maintenance

(page 409).

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.

Note:

Using an aftermarket cabin air filter

could reduce cabin air filtration and climate
control performance.

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.

Seats

WARNING:

The head restraint is a

safety device. Whenever possible it
should be installed and properly
adjusted when the seat is occupied.

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.

WHAT IS THE POWER OUTLET

The power outlet can power devices using
a 12 V outlet adapter.

POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not plug optional

electrical accessories into the cigar
lighter socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered
by the vehicle warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury.

When you switch the vehicle on, you can
use the socket to power 12 V appliances
with a maximum current rating of 20 A. Do
not use the power point over the vehicle
capacity of 12 V DC 240 W or a fuse could
blow. Do not plug in any device that
supplies power to the vehicle through the
power points. This could result in damage
to vehicle systems. Do not hang any
accessory from the accessory plug. Always
keep the power point caps closed when
not in use. Do not insert objects other than
an accessory plug into the power point.

To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
•

Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is off.

•

Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.

LOCATING THE POWER
OUTLETS

Power outlets are in the following
locations:
•

Inside the media bin below the
instrument panel.

•

Inside the main center console bin.

•

In the cargo area.

Power Outlet - Vehicles With: 12V Power Outlet

WHAT IS THE POWER OUTLET

The power outlet is a socket that connects
an electrical device to your vehicle's power
supply.

POWER OUTLET
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not keep electrical

devices plugged into the power outlet
whenever the device is not in use. The
outlet provides power when the vehicle
is on. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury.

WARNING:

Do not use an

extension cord or connect multiple
devices to the power outlet. Doing so
could result in overloading the power
outlet. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in fire, personal injury or
property damage.

POWER OUTLET LIMITATIONS

You should not use the power outlet for
these types of electric devices:
•

Cathode ray tube type televisions.

•

Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws or other electric power
tools and compressor-driven
refrigerators.

•

Measuring devices which process
precise data, such as medical
equipment or measuring equipment.

•

Other appliances requiring an
extremely stable power supply, such
as microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets or touch sensor lamps.

Note:

Devices may exceed the power rating

on the device label when they are initially
plugged-in.

Note:

The power outlet provides full

available power when the vehicle is in park
(P). Power availability may be reduced
when the vehicle is in drive (D). If more than
one outlet is available in the vehicle, power
is divided between the outlets that are in
use at the same time.

LOCATING THE POWER

WHAT IS THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER

The wireless accessory charger allows you
to charge one compatible Qi wireless
charging device on the charging area.

WIRELESS ACCESSORY
CHARGER PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Wireless charging

devices can affect the operation of
implanted medical devices, including
cardiac pacemakers. If you have any
implanted medical devices, we
recommend that you consult with your
physician.

Keep the charging area clean and remove
foreign objects prior to charging a device.

Do not place items with a magnetic strip
or radio-frequency identification chip, for
example passports, parking tickets,
transportation passes or credit cards, near
the charging area when charging a device.
Damage could occur to the magnetic strip
or radio-frequency identification chip.

Do not place metal objects, for example
remote controls, coins and candy
wrappers, on or near the charging area
when charging a device. Metal objects may
heat up and degrade the charging
performance, in addition to causing
interruptions in charging.

Charging could be interrupted, degraded,
or could stop if any of the following occur:

•

The system detects a foreign object.

•

The device is misaligned on the
charging area.

•

The device moves on the active
charging area when the vehicle is in
motion.

•

The vehicle ambient temperature is too
high.

•

You attempt to charge a non-Qi
compatible device on the wireless
charger.

Note:

During charging, the device and the

charger could heat up, this is normal. If the
battery gets hotter than usual, the device
may stop charging.

LOCATING THE WIRELESS
ACCESSORY CHARGER

E297549

The charging area is on the
center console or in the media
bin below the instrument panel.

CHARGING A WIRELESS
DEVICE

Place the device on the center of the
charging surface with the charging side

reaches a full charge.

You can use the charger when the vehicle
is in accessory mode, when the vehicle is
running, or when SYNC is on.

Displays on the status bar when
wireless charging is in progress.

Note:

The charging performance may be

affected if your device is in a case. It may be
necessary to remove the case to wirelessly
charge your device.
