Climate Control Systems
The heating, cooling, defrosting, and ventilation for the vehicle can be controlled with this system.
Temperature Control
Climate Control Display
The climate control status display appears briefly when the climate controls on the center stack are adjusted.
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:
O : Press to turn the fan off or on.
Temperature Control : Turn the outer ring of the air vent clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature setting.
Fan Control : Turn the outer ring of the air vent clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
Air Delivery Mode Controls : Press X, Y, or [ to change the direction of the airflow. Any combination of the three buttons can be selected. The indicator light in the button will turn on. The current mode appears in the display screen. Pressing any of the three buttons cancels automatic air
delivery control and the direction of the airflow is controlled manually. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
To change the current mode, select one or more of the following:
X : Clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and side window outlets.
Y : Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.

@ : Press to turn on recirculation. An indicator light comes on. Air is recirculated inside the vehicle.
It helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle or reduce the outside air and odors that may enter.
Operation in the recirculation mode while the air conditioner is off increases humidity and may cause the windows to fog.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost or defog modes.
To improve fuel efficiency and to cool the vehicle faster, recirculation may be automatically selected in warm weather. The recirculation
light will not come on. Press @ to select recirculation; press it again to select outside air.
The rear window defogger can be set to automatic operation. See “Climate and Air Quality” under Vehicle Personalization 0 141.
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 7°C (44°F) and below.
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.
Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are clear.
The heating, cooling, defrosting, and ventilation for the vehicle can be controlled with this system.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation, If Equipped : The climate control system may run when the vehicle is started remotely, depending on the outside temperature. See Remote Vehicle Start 0 34. 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.
When enabled, the front heated seats, if equipped, will turn on automatically if it is cold outside. See Vehicle Personalization 0 141. The heated seat indicator lights do not come on during a remote start.
