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.

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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

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.

Press and release the button to switch on temperature control for the right-hand side of the

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.

141

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.

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: 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.

    Press and release AUTO.
    Adjust the temperature function to the setting you prefer.

    Press and release AUTO.
    Adjust the temperature function to the setting you prefer. Use 72°F (22°C) as a starting point, then adjust the setting as necessary.

(IF EQUIPPED)

Press the button to clear the exterior mirrors of thin ice and fog. Press the button again to

switch them off. They switch off after a short period of time.

Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass when it is frozen in place. These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.

Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.

REMOTE START (IF EQUIPPED)

You can switch this feature on or off and adjust the settings in the information display.

The system adjusts the interior temperature depending on your chosen settings during remote start.

You cannot adjust the climate control setting during remote start operation. The information display and the indicators do not turn on during remote start. When you switch the ignition on, the climate control system returns to the previous settings.

You can now make adjustments.

You need to switch on certain vehicle-dependent features, such as:

Heated seats.

Cooled seats.

    Heated steering wheel.
    Heated mirrors.
    Heated rear window.

In hot weather, the system sets to 72°F (22°C). The cooled seats are set to high, if available, and AUTO is on in the information display.

In moderate weather, the system either heats or cools, based on pre-selected settings. The rear defroster, heated mirrors and heated or cooled seats do not turn on.

In cold weather, the system sets to 72°F (22°C). The heated seats are set to high, if available, and AUTO is on in the information display. The heated rear window and heated mirrors turn on.
