Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control
System adjusts the temperature and air distri-
bution independently between the driver and
passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature
inside the passenger compartment and
compensates for outside temperature change.

NOTE:

The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following
to maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of the air
flow)
Compressor variations (for cooling/dehu -
midifying the air)
Air recirculation
The Climate Control System can also be oper -
ated manually by using the buttons and knobs
on the faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO
button is pushed. If the system intervenes for
safety reasons, the automatic setting will take
control of the system.
The below operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/deactiva -
tion
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver
and passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defroster
Air recirculation
Rear Defroster
System deactivation
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator illu-
minated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has
stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light
will not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the icon or
the AUTO button. With the A/C compressor off,
the air speed can be set manually using the Air
Speed Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the
engine is running, air speed cannot be lower
than the minimum speed (only one indicator
light is lit).
CAUTION!
The system uses R1234yf refrigerant,
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances, use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the
components of this system.

the flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located
below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.

NOTE:

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort
conditions to provide cooler air out of the
panel outlets and warmer air from the floor
outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets. This setting heats
the passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor,
defrost, and side window demister
outlets. This setting works best in
cold or snowy conditions that require
extra heat to the windshield. This setting is
good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air flow is distributed between the
windshield demisting/defrosting
vents and side/central dashboard
vents. This setting allows air to flow
to the windshield on sunny days.
Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode
Air flow is distributed to all vents.
Switching The Climate Control System On/

The automatic system adjusts the tempera
-
ture, quantity, and distribution of air intro -
duced into the passenger compartment. It
also controls air recirculation and the activa -
tion of the air conditioner.
At any time during automatic operation, you
can change the temperature, activate or deac -
tivate the Rear Defrost, activate SYNC, acti -
vate or deactivate the air conditioner, and
activate or deactivate air recirculation. The
system will automatically adjust to the new

To close the window, pull the window switch
up. To stop the window during Auto-Up opera-
tion, push or pull the window switch again.
Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch Protection
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch
safety device for closing the windows.
If the safety system senses any obstacle while
the window is closing, it will stop the window’s
movement and reverse it, depending on its
position.
This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children inside the
vehicle.
The anti-pinch safety function is activated both
during the manual and the automatic opera -
tion of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is activated, the
window closing is immediately interrupted.
Then the window closing is automatically reversed and the window lowers by about
8 inches (20 cm) in relation to the first stop
position. The window cannot be operated
during this time.

NOTE:

In the event of an error, or if the anti-pinch
protection is activated three consecutive
times, the automatic closing operation of the
window will be deactivated. In order to restore
the correct operation of the system, the
window must be lowered.
Power Window System Initialization

If power supply is interrupted, the electric
window automatic operation must be reinitial
-
ized.

To perform the initialization procedure, which
must be done on each door with the doors
closed, manually fully close the window to be
initialized.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the
perception of pressure on the ears or a heli -
copter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a
normal occurrence and can be minimized. If
the buffeting occurs with the rear windows
open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust
the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting
or open any window.
