Note: Depending on your vehicle option package, the controls may look different from what you see here.
Press and release the button to direct airflow to the windshield air vents and de-mister.
Press and release the button to direct airflow to the instrument panel air vents.
Press and release the button to direct airflow to the footwell air vents.
You can direct air through any combination of these air vents.
Turn the control to adjust the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
Turn the control to set the temperature.
Press and release the button.

Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
Note: In certain conditions, for example, maximum defrost, the air conditioning compressor may continue to operate even though you switch off the air conditioning.
Press and release the button.
Turn the temperature control counterclockwise to the lowest setting for maximum cooling.
Turn the temperature control clockwise to the highest setting for maximum defrosting.
You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when maximum defrost is on.
Press and release the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air.
The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior, when used with A/C, and reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or prevent you from switching it on, in all air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off in various air distribution control combinations during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.

Note: This control also sets the right-hand side temperature when you switch off dual zone mode.
Turn the control on the right-hand side of the climate control to set the right-hand temperature.
Press and release the button to switch on automatic operation, then set the temperature.
The system adjusts the blower motor speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and outside or recirculated air to reach and maintain the temperature you have set.
Press and release the button for maximum cooling.
The left-hand and right-hand settings set to LO, recirculated air flows through the instrument panel air vents, air conditioning turns on and the blower motor adjusts to the highest speed.
Press and release the button for maximum defrosting.

The left-hand and right-hand settings set to HI, air flows through the windshield air vents, and the blower motor adjusts to the highest speed.
You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when maximum defrost is on.
Note: The heated rear window also turns on when you select maximum defrost.

Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or prevent you from switching it on, in all air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off in various air distribution control combinations during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
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 a comfortable temperature in hot weather, drive with the windows open until you feel cold air through the air vents.
Note: Adjusting the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not necessary. Automatic mode is best recommended to maintain set temperature.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the interior to the temperature you select as quickly as possible.
Note: 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 air flow to the windshield and side window air vents. In addition, the blower motor may run at a slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select AUTO during hot temperatures and the inside of the vehicle is hot, the system uses recirculated air to maximize interior cooling. Blower motor speed may also reduce until the air cools.

HEATED WINDSHIELD (IF EQUIPPED)
When you switch the heated rear window on, the windshield wiper de-icer turns on.
HEATED REAR WINDOW (IF EQUIPPED)
Press the button to clear the rear window of thin ice and fog. The heated rear window turns off
after a short period of time.
Note: Do not use harsh chemicals, razor blades or other sharp objects to clean or remove decals from the inside of the heated rear window. The vehicle warranty may not cover damage to the heated rear window grid lines.
(IF EQUIPPED)
When you switch the heated rear window on, the heated exterior mirrors turn on.
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass when it is frozen in place.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products. The vehicle warranty may not cover damage caused to the mirror housing or glass.
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, which gives you and your passengers the following benefits:
You can locate the cabin air filter behind the glove box.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the system.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 553).
156
For additional cabin air filter information, or to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START (IF EQUIPPED)
You can switch this feature on or off and adjust the settings using the information display controls. See Information Displays (page 120).
The climate control system adjusts the interior temperature during remote start.
You cannot adjust the climate control setting during remote start operation. Switch the ignition on to make adjustments.
Based on your remote start settings, the following vehicle-dependent features may or may not remain on after remote starting your vehicle:
Note: For dual zone climate controlled seats, the passenger seat setting defaults to match the driver seat during remote start.
If Auto is on, the system sets the interior temperature to 72°F (22°C) and heats or cools the vehicle interior as required to achieve comfort.
Note: In cold weather, the heated rear window and heated mirrors turn on.
If Last Settings is on, the system uses the settings last selected before you turned off the vehicle.
In Auto mode, certain heated features may switch on during cold weather, and cooled features during hot weather.
