Climate Control Status Display
The climate control status display appears briefly when the climate control buttons on the center stack
are adjusted. Pressing the status display will open the climate control display.
Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls the fan speed, air delivery, air conditioning, and recirculation in order to heat or cool the vehicle to the desired temperature. When AUTO is lit, all four functions operate automatically. Each function can also be manually set and the setting is displayed. Functions not manually set will continue to be automatically controlled, even if the AUTO indicator is not lit. For automatic operation: 1. Press AUTO. 2. Set the temperature. Allow the
system time to stabilize. Then adjust the temperature as needed for best comfort.
To cool the vehicle faster, recirculation may be automatically selected in warm weather. The
CLIMATE CONTROLS 165 recirculation light will not come on. Press@ to select recirculation; press it again to select outside air. English units can be changed to metric units through the instrument cluster. See “Cluster Options Menu” under Instrument Cluster 0 121.
OFF : Press to turn the fan on or off. When off, no air will flow into the vehicle. Turning the fan on, or pressing any other button, will turn the system back on using the current setting. The temperature control and air delivery mode can still be adjusted. w /x : The temperature can be adjusted separately for the driver and the passenger. Press to increase or decrease the temperature. Press and hold to rapidly increase or decrease the temperature. The driver and passenger temperatures can also be adjusted by touching the controls on the display.
Sync : Touch Sync on the display to link all climate zone settings to the driver settings. Adjust the driver side temperature control to change the
linked temperature. When the passenger settings are adjusted, the Sync button is no longer highlighted.
REAR : If equipped, touch REAR on the front climate control display to open the rear climate control display. The rear climate control settings can now be adjusted from the front passenger area.
Manual Operation
z9y : Press the fan control buttons or the climate display fan control to increase or decrease the fan speed. Press and hold the buttons or the climate display control to adjust the speed more quickly. The fan speed setting displays. Pressing either button cancels automatic fan control and the fan can be controlled manually. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. To turn off the fan and climate control system, press and hold the fan down button or climate display fan control until it is off.
Air Delivery Mode Control : When the climate information is displayed, touch the desired air delivery mode on the display to change the direction of
the airflow. The selected air delivery mode button is lit. Touching any of the air delivery modes cancels automatic air delivery control and the direction of the airflow can be controlled manually. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. To change the current mode, select one of the following: Y : Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets. \ : Air is divided between the instrument panel outlets and the floor outlets. [ : Air is directed to the floor outlets. - : Clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and floor outlets. 0 : Clears the windshield of fog or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield. Press0 to turn on or off. Changing the air delivery mode also turns the defrost off.
A/C : Touch A/C on the display to turn the automatic air conditioning on or off. If the fan is turned off or the
166 CLIMATE CONTROLS outside temperature falls below freezing, the air conditioner will not run. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation and the air conditioner runs as needed.
Automatic Air Recirculation : When the AUTO indicator light is on, the air is automatically recirculated as needed to help quickly cool the inside of the vehicle. The climate control system may have a sensor to detect air pollution. When using automatic air recirculation, the air quality control system may operate. To adjust the sensitivity of the air quality sensor, see “Climate and Air Quality” under Vehicle Personalization 0 147. @ : Press to alternate between recirculating air inside the vehicle or pulling in outside air. The indicator light on the button is lit when recirculation mode is active. This helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle or reduce the outside air and odors that might enter.
Pressing@ cancels automatic recirculation. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation; recirculation runs automatically as needed. Manual recirculation mode is not available when in Defrost or Defog modes.
Auto Defog : The climate control system may have a sensor to automatically detect high humidity inside the vehicle. When high humidity is detected, the climate control system may adjust to outside air supply and turn on the air conditioner. If the climate control system does not detect possible window fogging, it returns to normal operation. To turn Auto Defog off or on, see “Climate and Air Quality” under Vehicle Personalization 0 147.
Rear Window Defogger
K : Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light on the button comes on to show that the rear window defogger is on. The rear window defogger only works when the engine is running.
The rear window defogger can be set to automatic operation. See “Climate and Air Quality” under Vehicle Personalization 0 147. When Auto Rear Defog is selected, the rear window defogger turns on automatically when the interior temperature is cold and the outside temperature is about 4 °C (40 °F) and below. The upper gridlines on the rear window are antenna lines and are not intended to heat when the defogger is activated. The heated outside mirrors turn on when the rear window defogger button is on and help to clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirrors.
Caution
Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the front windshield and rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the rear window defogger grid and affect the radio's ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

The seats will activate at the level required by the vehicle’s interior temperature. To turn off the heated seats, press J or z. To turn off the ventilated seats, press C or {. The auto heated or ventilated seats feature can be turned on or off. See Vehicle Personalization 0 147 and Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 0 63.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation : If equipped with the remote start feature, the climate control system may run when the vehicle is started remotely. The system uses the driver’s previous settings to heat or cool the inside of the vehicle. The rear defog may come on during remote start based on cold ambient conditions. The rear defog indicator light does not come on during a remote start. If equipped, the heated seats will turn on if it is cold outside or the ventilated seats will turn on if it is hot outside. The heated and ventilated seat indicator lights may not come on during a remote start. If equipped, the heated steering wheel will come on in a remote start if it is cold outside. The heated steering wheel indicator light may not come on. See Remote Vehicle Start 0 34 and Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 0 63.
Sensor
The solar sensor, on top of the instrument panel near the windshield, monitors the solar heat. The climate control system uses the sensor information to adjust the temperature, fan speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode for best comfort. If the sensor is covered, the automatic climate control system may not work properly.
