Heating

If your vehicle has the electronic touch system, on 
cold days, use HTR with the TEMPERATURE lever
toward WARM.

If your vehicle has the Dual Automatic Comfortemp
system, and on cold days, if the AUTO mode is selected,
the system will automatically direct the air toward the
floor and the temperature door will be positioned at the
full hot position. You can choose the extreme comfort
setting of 90

_

F (32

_

C) but the system will not warm up

any faster by selecting the extreme comfort setting. If
the outside temperature is cold, the fan will be delayed
to avoid blowing cold air. Pushing the FAN, AIR FLOW
or FRONT buttons will override this delay, turn off the
AUTO mode and change the fan speed.

With each system, outside air will be brought in and sent
through the floor outlets. The heater works best if you
keep your windows closed while using it.

Defogging and Defrosting

If you have the electronic touch system, adjust 
the TEMPERATURE lever toward WARM and the 
FAN lever toward HIGH.

If you have the Dual Automatic Comfortemp system,
use the FRONT button to defog or defrost the
windshield. By choosing this button, the airflow will be
directed at the windshield. Adjust your comfort level by
pressing the TEMP up or down arrow. The fan speed
will be controlled by the system. You can change the fan
speed by pressing the top of the FAN button to increase
speed, and the bottom of the button to decrease speed.

To reduce the chance of fogging your windows in cold
weather, using the electronic touch system, select HTR
to supply air through the floor outlets. Then move the
FAN lever to HIGH for a few moments before driving
away. This will blow moist air from the intake outlets
toward the floor, not the windshield. If you have the
Dual Automatic Comfortemp system, the AUTO setting
will do this for you. Manual operation of the automatic
comfortemp system in the FLOOR mode will also
supply air through the floor outlets.
