WARNING
• The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is running.
• Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis- tance of others alone in your vehicle. Pets should also not be left alone. They could accidentally injure them- selves or others through inadvertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte- rior air to become stale and the win- dows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls to activate the air conditioner.
NOTE: • Odors from inside and outside the vehicle can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor can enter the passenger compartment through the vents.
• When parking, set the heater and air conditioner controls to turn off air re- circulation to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. This should help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION Cooling and/or dehumidified heating (AUTO) This mode may be used all year round as the system automatically works to keep a constant temperature. Air flow distribution, air intake control, and fan speed are also controlled automatically. 1. Press the AUTO button on. 2. Turn the temperature control dial to the
left or right to set the desired temperature.
• Adjust the temperature display to about 75°F (24°C) for normal operation.
• The temperature of the passenger com- partment will be maintained automati- cally. Air flow distribution, air intake con- trol and fan speed are also controlled automatically.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunction.
3. You can individually set driver's and front passenger's side temperature using each temperature control dial.
• To synchronize the driver’s and front pas- senger’s temperature settings, press the SYNC button. The SYNC indicator will illuminate.
Heating (A/C off) The air conditioner does not activate. When you need to heat only, use this mode. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Turn the temperature control dial to set
the desired temperature. • The temperature of the passenger com-
partment will be maintained automati- cally. Air flow distribution, air intake con- trol and fan speed are also controlled automatically.
• Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging 1. Press the front defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will come on.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.
• To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, use the fan speed con- trol buttons to set the fan speed to maximum.
• As soon as possible after the windshield is clean, press the AUTO button to return to the automatic mode.
• When the front defroster button is pressed, the air conditioner will automati- cally be turned on at outside tempera- tures above 36°F (2°C). The air recirculate mode automatically turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn into the passen- ger compartment to further improve the defogging performance.

Remote Engine Start with Intelligent Climate Control (if so equipped) Vehicles equipped with automatic climate controls and Remote Engine Start function may go into automatic heating or cooling mode when Remote Engine Start is acti- vated depending on outside and cabin temperatures. During this period, the cli- mate control display and buttons will be inoperable until the ignition switch is turned on. In Remote Engine Start defrost- ing mode, the rear window defroster, heated seats (if so equipped) and heated steering wheel (if so equipped) may be ac- tivated automatically.
Voice Recognition logic (if so equipped) When the climate control system is on, the front and rear fan speeds may be auto- matically lowered so that commands are more easily recognized. Fan speed can be adjusted using the fan speed decrease and increase buttons, if desired.
MANUAL OPERATION Fan speed control Press the fan speed control buttons to manually control the fan speed. Press the AUTO button to return to auto- matic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control dial The temperature control dial allows you to adjust the temperature of the outlet air. To lower the temperature, turn the dial to the left. To increase the temperature, turn the dial to the right. Temperature can be ad- justed on the driver’s and passenger’s side.
Air recirculation Press the air recirculation button to recirculate interior air inside the vehicle. The indicator light on the button will come on. The air recirculation cannot be activated when the air conditioner is in the front defrosting mode.
When the outside temperature exceeds 70°F (21°C), the air conditioning system may default to air recirculation mode automati- cally to reduce overall power consumption. To exit air recirculation mode, deselect the air recirculation button (indicator will turn off) to enter fresh air mode.
Fresh air intake Press the fresh air intake button to draw outside air into the passenger compartment.
A/C (air conditioner) button Start the engine, press the fan speed control buttons to the desired position and press the button to turn on the air conditioner. To turn off the air conditioner, press the button again.
The air conditioner cooling function op- erates only when the engine is running.

Air flow control Pressing the air flow control button manually controls air flow and selects the air outlet:
— Air flows from center and side vents.
— Air flows from center and side vents and foot outlets.
— Air flows mainly from foot outlets. — Air flows from defroster and foot
outlets. Synchronize climate settings Press the SYNC button to synchronize cli- mate settings. The sync indicator will turn on. When rear climate is off, pressing SYNC will synchronize only driver's and front passen- ger's climate settings. When rear climate is on, pressing SYNC will synchronize driver, front passenger, and rear temperature mode and auto fan settings. SYNC text will appear above the rear tem- perature display when rear climate is syn- chronized with the driver’s settings.
To change climate settings when SYNC is active (the SYNC indicator is on): • The driver's side temperature control dial
will control the driver, front passenger, and rear (if rear climate is on) temperatures.
• The fan speed control buttons will control the front and rear climate fan speeds.
• The front AUTO (automatic) climate con- trol ON-OFF button will activate the front and rear climate automatic settings.
• The air flow control button will control the front and rear airflow direction.
To exit SYNC: • To remove the front passenger from
SYNC, turn the passenger's side tem- perature control dial. The driver and rear settings remain in SYNC until rear is re- moved from SYNC.
• To remove the rear from SYNC, change any of the rear climate settings. The driver and front passenger settings re- main in SYNC until the front passenger is removed from SYNC.
• To reactivate SYNC press the SYNC button.
To turn system off Press the ON-OFF button to turn the sys- tem off. To turn system on Press the ON-OFF button when the heater or air conditioner is off. The system will turn on with the settings that were used imme- diately before the system was turned off.

OPERATING TIPS The sunload sensor, located on the top driver's side of the instrument panel, helps the system maintain a constant tempera- ture. Do not put anything on or around this sensor. • When the climate system is in automatic
operation and the engine coolant tem- perature and outside air temperature are low, the air flow outlet may default to de- froster mode for a maximum of 2 minutes 30 seconds. This is not a malfunction. After the engine coolant temperature warms up, the air flow outlet will return to foot mode and operation will continue normally.
• When the outside and interior cabin tem- peratures are moderate to high, the in- take setting may default to turn off air recirculation to allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. You may no- tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level mode or side demist vent outlets for a maximum of 15 seconds. This may occur when the previous climate setting was turned off. This is not a malfunction. After the initial warm air is expelled, the intake will return to automatic control, the air flow outlet will return to previous settings, and operation will continue normally. To exit, press any climate control button.
• Keep the moonroof (if so equipped) closed while the air conditioner is in operation.
• If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is coming out do not match, select the mode.
• When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot outlets for just a moment. This is not a malfunction.
