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: 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.

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

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

Note: If you select AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.

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 under the
front hood.

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 274).

For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see a qualified
technician.
