OPERATING TIPS

CAUTION:

Interior air enters the Rear Climate Control system through an intake grille, located in the right side trim panel behind the third row seats. The heater outlets are located in the right side trim panel, just behind the rear doors. Do not block or place objects directly in front of the inlet grille or heater outlets. The electrical system could overload causing damage to the blower motor.

Note:

Refer to the chart at the end of this section for suggested control settings for various weather conditions.

SUMMER OPERATION

The engine cooling system must be protected with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion protection and to protect against engine overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.

WINTER OPERATION

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster performance, make sure the engine cooling system is functioning properly and the proper amount, type, and concentration of coolant is used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during Winter months is not recommended, because it may cause window fogging.

VACATION/STORAGE

For information on maintaining the Climate Control system when the vehicle is being stored for an extended period of time, see STORING THE VEHICLE.

WINDOW FOGGING

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed. Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods, as fogging may occur.

OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE

Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.

CABIN AIR FILTER

The Climate Control system filters out dust and pollen from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced when needed.

STOP/START SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

While in an Autostop, the Climate Control system may automatically adjust airflow to maintain cabin comfort. Customer settings will be maintained upon return to an engine running condition.

WINDSHIELD WIPER DE-ICER — IF EQUIPPED

The Windshield Wiper De-Icer is a heating element located at the base of the windshield.

It operates automatically once the following conditions are met:

• Activation By Front Defrost

  The Windshield Wiper De-Icer activates automatically during a cold weather manual start with full defrost, and when the ambient temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C).

• Activation By Rear Defrost

  The Windshield Wiper De-Icer activates automatically when the Rear Defrost is operating and the ambient temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C).

• Activation By Remote Start Operation

  When Remote Start is activated and the outside ambient temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C) the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting Remote Start will resume its previous operation. If the Windshield Wiper De-Icer was active, the timer and operation will continue.

OPERATING TIPS CHART

Note:

If your vehicle is equipped with a Tri-Pane Panoramic Sunroof, cabin heat generated by sunlight can be reduced by closing the first and second row power sunshade, as well as the third row manual sunshade.
