• The heater and air conditioner operate only when the engine is running.
• Never leave children or adults who would normally require the support of others alone in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone either. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls and inadvertently become involved in a serious accident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the interior air to become stale and the windows to fog up.
• Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning controls while driving so that full attention may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the engine is running. The air blower will operate when the ignition is ON even if the engine is not running.
• Condensation forms inside the air conditioning unit when the air conditioner is running and is safely discharged underneath your vehicle. Traces of water on the ground are therefore normal.
• Odours from inside and outside the vehicle can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odour can enter the passenger compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air recirculation to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. This should help reduce odours inside the vehicle.
The sensors located on the instrument panel and beneath the steering wheel help maintain a constant temperature. Do not put anything on or around the sensors.
