temperature. Exterior readings are most accurate when the vehicle is
moving.

Press to toggle between Fahrenheit

displayed in half-degree increments.

Heated wiper rest: Heats the windshield wiper blades in order to
reduce the chance of ice buildup and to aid in defrosting. This feature
operates automatically when the outside temperature is near or below
freezing.

OPERATING TIPS
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place

the air flow selector in the

position.

• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle:

Do not drive with the air flow selector in the OFF position.
Do not drive with recirculation engaged.

• In order to allow the vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet

vents, do not leave the air flow selector in the OFF position when the
vehicle is parked.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.

• With the ignition in the OFF position after operating the vehicle, some

vehicle sounds related to the climate control system may be heard.

• Approximately two minutes after key off, the air distribution doors

may adjust their positions as part of the normal operating process.

• Demisters, located at the far left and right sides of the dash, usually

blow out a small amount of airflow in order to reduce side window
fogging.

• Outboard panel registers, located at the left and right sides of the

dash, blowout a small amount of airflow when in Floor, Floor/Defrost,
and Defrost modes. This also reduces side window fogging.
