A "top-of-dash" display, positioned at eye-level at
the top of the center stack, features a message center
that shows radio function readouts. This simple,
efficient design makes it easier and quicker to read
while driving. Engineers reduced wind noise by installing
a new acoustic windshield and thicker side glass
in the front doors (increased in thickness from 3.2
to 3.8 millimeters). The front air dam is stiffened
and produces less noise. Switching to electronic
actuators for the floor, panel, defrost and temperature
controls improve Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) performance. This completely redesigned HVAC
system results in a climate control system that is
quieter, lighter in weight and more effective in
cooling and heating the cabin.
A new "poke-through" center console design replaces the traditional "brick" design for the radio and climate control. The center panel houses the controls for the audio and climate control as well as a standard auxiliary audio input jack and two power points.
