GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 55
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstructions,
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air
intake may reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum, they could plug the water drains. In
Winter months, make sure the air intake is clear
of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The climate control system filters out dust and
pollen from the air. Contact an authorized
dealer to service your cabin air filter, and to
have it replaced when needed.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost
button to turn the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the
rear defrost indicator light on the instrument
panel turning on. If equipped, push the rear
defrost button to activate the defrosting of door
mirrors and heated rear window.
Air Recirculation
Push and release the Air Recirculation button so
that the LED is on, to enter recirculation mode.
It is recommended to turn the internal air recir-
culation on while standing in traffic or in tunnels
to prevent the introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long period of time,
particularly if there are many passengers in the
vehicle, to prevent the windows from misting up.
NOTE:
Internal air recirculation makes it possible to
reach the required heating or cooling conditions
quickly depending on the mode selected. Do not
use the internal air recirculation function on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of the windows misting.
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be
turned on at least once a month for approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing
solution, wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window
defroster heating filaments do not affix
stickers or other objects to the inside of the
rear glass.
