MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL

Fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired fan speed. Driver heated seat: Switch the driver heated seat off and on. See Heated Seats (page 146). Power: Press the button to switch the system on and off. Switching off the climate control system prevents outside air from entering the vehicle. Defrost: Press the button to distribute air to the windshield vents and de-mister. Air distribution to instrument panel and footwell vents turn off. You can use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. With recirculated air selected, the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior(when used with A/C) and may also reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.

Note: Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow modes during hot or cool weather to improve vehicle temperature efficiency. Passenger heated seat: Switch the passenger heated seat off and on. See Heated Seats (page 146). Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the airflow in your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. MAX Defrost: Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full heat position to maximize defrosting. Outside air flows through the windshield vents, fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full heat position. You can use this setting to defog or clear a thin covering of ice from the windshield. The heated rear window also automatically turns on when you select MAX Defrost. Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when MAX Defrost is on. MAX A/C: Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full cool position to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool position. A/C: Press the button to switch air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Note: In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air conditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off the air conditioning with the A/C button. Air distribution control: Press these buttons to switch airflow from the windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system can distribute air through any combination of these vents. Note: At least one of these buttons remain on while the system is on. Rear defrost and heated mirrors: Turns the heated mirrors off and on as well as the heated rear window, if your vehicle has that feature. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 137).

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

AUTO: Press the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the desired temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside air or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature. You can also use the AUTO button to switch off dual zone operation by pressing and holding the button for more than two seconds. MAX Defrost: Press the button to maximize defrosting. Outside air flows through the windshield vents, and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed. You can use this setting to defog or clear a thin covering of ice from the windshield. The heated rear window also automatically turns on when you select MAX Defrost. Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when MAX Defrost is on. Power: Press the button to switch the system on and off. Switching off the climate control system prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE General Hints Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up. Note: You may feel a small amount of air 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: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield. Note: To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the windows fully open until you feel cold air through the air vents.

Heating the Interior Quickly

Vehicle with manual climate control Adjust the fan speed to a high speed setting. Adjust the temperature control to the highest setting. Select the footwell air vents using the air distribution buttons.

Manual Climate Control Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield during humid weather, adjust the air distribution control to the windshield air vents position. Automatic Climate Control Note: Adjusting the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not necessary. The system automatically adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your selected temperature as quickly as possible. For the system to function efficiently, the instrument panel and side air vents should be fully open. Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside temperatures, the system directs airflow to the windshield and side window vents. In addition, the fan may run at a slower speed until the engine warms up. Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside temperatures, or when the inside of the vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses recirculated air to maximize interior cooling. When the interior reaches the selected temperature, the system automatically switches to using outside air.
