The fan, air delivery mode, air conditioning, driver and passenger temperatures, and Sync settings can be controlled by touching CLIMATE on the infotainment Home Page or the climate button in the climate control display application tray. A selection can then be made on the front climate control page displayed.
Climate Control Status Display
The climate control status display appears briefly when the center stack climate controls are adjusted.
Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls the following four functions to heat or cool the vehicle to the desired temperature: . Fan Speed . Air Delivery Mode . Air Conditioning . Recirculation When the AUTO indicator light is lit, all four functions are operating automatically. Each function can be manually set and the selected setting will be shown. This cancels full automatic operation and the AUTO indicator light turns off. Functions that are not manually set will continue to be automatically controlled, although the AUTO indicator light will not be lit. To place the system in automatic mode: 1. Press AUTO. 2. Set the driver and passenger
temperature. To find your comfort setting, start with 22 °C (72 °F) and allow the system time to stabilize. Then adjust the temperature as needed for best comfort.
194 Climate Controls
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 when automatically controlled. Press@ to manually select recirculation; press it again to select outside air. Do not cover the solar sensor on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor regulates air temperature based on sun load. See “Sensors” later in this section.
Manual Operation
O : Press to turn the climate control system on or off. When the system is off, outside air will be prevented from entering the vehicle. When the system is on, a button is pressed, or knob is turned, the climate control system will turn on and deliver airflow per the current setting. 9 : Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed. Press the knob to turn the fan off. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
Driver and Passenger Temperature Control :
The temperature can be adjusted separately for the driver and passenger. Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the driver or passenger temperature setting.
SYNC : Press to link the passenger and rear climate temperature settings, if equipped, to the driver setting. The SYNC indicator light will turn on. When the passenger or rear climate temperature settings are adjusted, the SYNC indicator light is off. The driver side or passenger side temperature display shows the temperature setting increasing or decreasing.
Air Delivery Mode Control : Press Y,\, [ , or - to change the direction of the airflow. An indicator light comes on in the selected mode button. Changing the mode cancels the automatic operation and the system goes into manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. Y : Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
\ : Air is divided between the instrument panel and floor outlets. Some air is directed toward the windshield and side window outlets. [ : Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some to the windshield, side window outlets, and second row floor outlets. - : This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor outlets, and side window vents. The system automatically forces outside air into the vehicle and the air conditioning compressor will run, unless the outside temperature is close to freezing. 0 : Press to clear the windshield of fog or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield and the side window vents. The air conditioning compressor also comes on, unless the outside temperature is below freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are clear. See Air Vents 0 197.
A/C : Press to turn the air conditioning system on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning is enabled. If the fan is turned off, the air

conditioner will not run. The A/C light will stay on even if the outside temperatures are below freezing. @ : Press to turn on recirculation. An indicator light comes on. Air is recirculated to quickly cool the inside of the vehicle. It can also be used to help reduce outside air and odors that enter the vehicle. The air conditioning compressor also comes on when this mode is activated.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. 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 ignition is on. The defogger turns off if the ignition is turned to off or ACC/ ACCESSORY.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window can damage the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.
Heated Mirror : If equipped with heated outside mirrors, the mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button is pressed. See Heated Mirrors 0 28.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation :
If equipped with remote start, the climate control system may run when the vehicle is started remotely. 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.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille in the middle of the instrument panel, monitors the solar heat. Do not cover the solar sensor or the system will not work properly.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor behind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle, could cause a false reading in the displayed temperature. The climate control system uses the information from these sensors to maintain comfort settings by adjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and air delivery mode. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be used as needed to maintain cool outlet temperatures.
Afterblow Feature
Under certain conditions, the fan may stay on or may turn on and off several times after you turn off and lock the vehicle. This is normal.
Rear Climate Control System
If equipped, the rear climate control system is on the rear of the center console storage. The rear climate settings can be adjusted with this system.

REAR O : Touch REAR O to turn the rear climate control on or off.
SYNC : Touch SYNC on the display to match the rear climate control temperature to the front climate control driver temperature. The SYNC button will be lit. Adjust the rear climate control temperature to change the linked temperature. The SYNC button turns off.
Rear Control Lockout : Touch Rear Control Lockout on the display to lock or unlock control of the rear climate control system from the front seat. When locked the rear climate control cannot be adjusted from the rear climate controls.
Automatic Operation AUTO : Touch AUTO or Rear Auto on the display to automatically control air delivery and fan speed. A is indicated in the display when automatic operation is active. If any of the climate control settings are manually adjusted, this cancels full automatic operation. The display only indicates climate control functions when the system is in rear independent mode. When SYNC is active the display is not shown.
Manual Operation
