the number of buttons and knobs indicate that
the selected feature is on/off. If no operation
is performed for a predetermined time, the
pop-up will close on the display.
Humidity Sensor
The Humidity Sensor helps prevent the
windows from fogging up. The AUTO function
(indicator illuminated) must be on for the
Humidity Sensor to function.
When outside temperature is low, the system
may turn the compressor on and turn air recir-
culation off for safer driving.
Stop/Start
The Stop/Start system shuts off the engine
when the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as
a fuel conservation measure.
In order to maintain comfort in the cabin, the
Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the
following conditions exist:
The climate control system is in AUTO mode
(indicator illuminated), and the vehicle has
yet to reach the set temperature
The climate control system is in LO maximum
cooling
The climate control system is in HI maximum
heating
The climate control system is in the MAX-DEF
status
When the Stop/Start system is active, the
engine will restart if the inside temperature
changes significantly, or if the LO setting, or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated.
With Stop/Start system on (engine is off), air
flow is reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically changes within
the cabin, the climate control system will
continue to maintain the temperature while the
engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start
system with the button (located by the head-
light switch), the climate control system operates
normally according to the settings.
NOTE:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of
the Stop/Start system to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on
and off. This will prevent rapid misting of the
windows and the accumulation of humidity
in the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on, the
climate control system will always take air in
from outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter months, the Climate Control system
must be turned on at least once a month for
approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.

NOTE:
If equipped with a lock, unlock the glove
compartment by placing the emergency key
in the lock on the handle.
Do not insert large objects that will prevent
the glove compartment from closing
