Climate Control
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Outside Air Keep the air intakes in front of the windshield free from obstruction (such as snow or leaves) to allow the climate control system to function effectively. Recirculated Air
WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings
for demisting the windshield.
The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. Outside air does not enter your vehicle. Heating Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant. General Information on Controlling the Interior Climate Fully close all the windows. Warming the Interior Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air toward the windshield and the door windows. Cooling the Interior Direct the air toward your face.
Air Conditioning The system directs air through the evaporator for cooling. The evaporator extracts humidity from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The system directs the resulting condensation to the outside of your vehicle, which may cause a small pool to form under your vehicle. This is normal. Note: The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C). Note: When you use air conditioning, your vehicle uses more fuel. AIR VENTS Center Air Vents
To close the air vent, turn the thumbwheel above the vent fully downward.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE General Hints Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up. Note: A small amount of air may be felt from the footwell air vents regardless of the air distribution setting. Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside your vehicle, do not drive with the system switched off or with recirculated air always switched on. Note: Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere with the airflow to the rear seats. Note: Keep the air intakes in front of the windshield free from obstruction (such as snow or leaves) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.

If your vehicle has rear climate control. The cabin air filter is under the driver seat. The particulate filtration system reduces the concentration of airborne particles, for example dust spores and pollen in the air supplied to the interior of your vehicle. Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter element installed at all times. This prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter element in place could result in degradation or damage to the system. The particulate filtration system gives you and your passengers the following benefits: •
It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration. It improves the interior compartment cleanliness. It protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
•
•
Replace the filter element at regular intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 384). For additional cabin air filter information, or to replace the filter element, see an authorized dealer.

Adjust the head restraints for all passengers before you drive your vehicle. This will help minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head restraints when your vehicle is moving.
The head restraint is a safety device. Whenever possible it should be installed and properly adjusted when
the seat is occupied. An improperly adjusted head restraint may not adequately protect an occupant during an impact from the rear.
Install the head restraint properly to help minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.

GENERAL INFORMATION
IGNITION SWITCH
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce very high temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle on dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up
the engine compartment and exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
Do not start the engine in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This is because the engine management system must realign itself with the engine. You can disregard any unusual driving characteristics during this period. The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field or radio noise. When you start the engine, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have difficulty starting the engine.
0 (off) - The ignition is off. Note: When you switch the ignition off and leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in the ignition. This could cause your vehicle battery to lose charge. Note: To switch the engine off when your vehicle is moving, move the transmission selector lever to position N. Use the brakes to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. After your vehicle has stopped, switch the engine off and move the transmission selector lever to position P. Turn the key to position 0 or I. I (accessory) - Allows the electrical accessories such as the radio to operate while the engine is not running. Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this position for too long. This could cause your vehicle battery to lose charge. II (on) - All electrical circuits operational. Warning lamps and indicators are illuminated. III (start) - cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

E72128Starting and Stopping the Engine
STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE Before starting the engine check the following: • Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on. • Move the transmission selector lever
to position park (P).
When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the
engine. If the engine idle speed does not
slow down automatically, have your
vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Note: You can only operate the starter for
a limited period of time, for example 10
seconds. The number of start attempts is
limited to approximately six. If you exceed
this limit, the system will not allow you to
try again until a period of time has elapsed,
for example 30 minutes.
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition key to position II to
switch the ignition on.
3. Turn the ignition key to position III to
start your vehicle. Release the key when the engine starts.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal. Engine Idle Speed after Starting The speed at which the engine idles immediately after starting will adjust automatically to minimize vehicle emissions and maximize cabin comfort and fuel economy.
The idle speed will vary depending on
certain factors. These include vehicle
component and ambient temperatures as
well as electrical and climate system
demands.
Cold or Hot Engine
If the engine does not start within 10
seconds, wait for a short period and try
again.
If the engine does not start after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow the
flooded engine procedure.
If you have difficulty starting the engine
when the temperature is below -13°F
(-25°C), press the accelerator pedal to the
mid-way point of its travel and try again.
Flooded Engine
1. Move the transmission selector lever
to position P.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and
hold it there.
3. Start the engine. Note: If the engine does not start, repeat the cold or hot engine procedure. SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE Vehicles With a Turbocharger
WARNING
Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed. If you do, the turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.
Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.

Starting and Stopping the Engine
• Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord plug connections are free and clear of water. This could cause an electric shock or fire.
• Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.
• Make sure the heater, heater cord and extension cord are firmly connected.
• Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.
• Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and driving your vehicle. Make sure the protective cover seals the prongs of the block heater cord plug when not in use.
• Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before winter.
Using the Engine Block Heater Make sure the receptacle terminals are clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with a dry cloth if necessary. The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours of energy per hour of use. The system does not have a thermostat. It achieves maximum temperature after approximately three hours of operation. Using the heater longer than three hours does not improve system performance and unnecessarily uses electricity.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block heater instructions could result in property damage or serious personal injury. Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged adapters. There is a risk
of electrical shock.
Note: The heater is most effective when outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C). The heater acts as a starting aid by warming the engine coolant. This allows the climate control system to respond quickly. The equipment includes a heater element (installed in the engine block) and a wire harness. You can connect the system to a grounded 120-volt AC electrical source. We recommend that you do the following for a safe and correct operation: • Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA). This extension cord must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold temperatures, and be clearly marked Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances. Do not use an indoor extension cord outdoors. This could result in an electric shock or become a
