If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes
its normal automatic operation.

NOTE:

Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the
wiper switch or place the ignition in the OFF
position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
while it is active, the windshield wiper oper-
ates intermittently at a speed consistent with
the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor,
whether or not there is rain on the glass for as
long as the sensor failure is indicated on the
display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is
possible to set the windshield wiper to contin -
uous mode (1 or 2). The failure indication
remains on for as long as the sensor is active. The rain sensor is able to recognize and auto
-
matically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled surface
(e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused by the
worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Push the windshield wiper lever downward to
activate/deactivate continuous rear wiper
operation.
Push the windshield wiper lever towards the
instrument panel to activate the rear window
washer (a brief push activates one washing
cycle, keeping the stalk pushed washes
continuously until the stalk is released).
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with the
windshield wiper operating activates a single
cycle of the rear window wiper.
Headlamp Washers — If Equipped
The windshield wiper lever operates the head -
light washers when the ignition is in the ON
position and the headlights are turned on. To
use the headlight washers, pull the lever
toward you and release it. The headlight
washers will spray a timed high-pressure spray
of washer fluid onto each headlight lens. In
addition, the windshield washers will spray the
windshield and the windshield wipers will
cycle.

NOTE:

The headlight washers work on every tenth
wash cycle request.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regu -
late the temperature, air flow, and direction of
air circulating throughout the vehicle. The
controls are located on the touchscreen and
on the instrument panel below the radio.

are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost.
Pushing the button switches off the
MAX-DEF function.
Air Temperature Adjustment
Rotate the driver or passenger Temperature
Adjustment Knob clockwise for warmer
temperatures or counterclockwise for cooler
temperatures. The set temperatures are
shown on the radio system.
Push the SYNC button to sync the driver and
passenger air temperatures.
Rotate the passenger Temperature Adjust -
ment Knob to cancel the SYNC function. This
will set a new passenger side temperature.
Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob fully
clockwise to engage the HI (maximum heating)
setting or fully counterclockwise to engage the
LO (maximum cooling) setting. To deactivate
these functions, rotate the Temperature
Adjustment Knob to the desired temperature.
Rear passengers’ temperature is linked to
driver side selection.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pushed (indicator
illuminated), the Climate Control system auto -
matically adjusts the following settings:
Quantity and distribution of air flow in the
passenger compartment
The air conditioner
Air recirculation
Cancels any manual settings
Selecting the AUTO function illuminates the
indicator on the A/C button.
If air distribution or the fan speed is manually
adjusted, the AUTO button indicator will turn
off to indicate that the Climate Control system
is no longer in AUTO mode.
After a manual adjustment, push the AUTO
button to resume the automatic system.
SYNC Button
Push the SYNC button (indicator illuminated)
to sync the passenger side air temperature
with the driver side air temperature.
This function makes temperature regulation
easier when the driver is traveling alone.
Turn the passenger Temperature Adjustment
Knob or push the passenger side Air Distribu-
tion Selection Button to change the passenger
side air temperature and return to separate air
temperature management.
Blower Speed
Turn the Blower Speed Knob to increase or
decrease the blower speed. The speed is
displayed with lighted indicators in the radio
system display.
Maximum fan speed = all indicators illumi -
nated on the radio system display
Minimum fan speed = one indicator illumi -
nated on the radio system display
The fan can be turned off by rotating the
Blower Speed Knob counterclockwise to the
off position (all segments on the radio system
display are turned off).

NOTE:

To restore automatic control of the fan speed,
push the AUTO button.
Air Distribution Selection
Push the Air Distribution Selection button on
the faceplate to change the mode of air distri -
bution.

NOTE:

In AUTO mode, the Climate Controls automati -
cally manage the air distribution. When set
manually, the respective symbols on the radio
system indicate the air distribution setting.
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel to ventilate the
chest and face. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct

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/

tion when any button on the system is pushed. To Turn On The Climate Control System
To switch the Climate Control system on in
automatic mode, push the AUTO button.
Operating Mode
The Climate Control system can be activated
in different ways. It is recommended to use the
automatic function. Push the AUTO button and
set the desired temperatures.
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
settings.
Climate Control Display Settings
The Climate Control settings are visible on the
radio screen.
The display on the radio system is a pop up
window, which is activated by pushing the
buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate
Control system. The indicator lights located on
the buttons and knobs indicate that the
selected feature is on/off. If no operation is

POWER WINDOWS
Power Window Controls
The power window switches work with the igni -
tion in the ACC or ON/RUN position and for
three minutes after the ignition has been
placed in the OFF position. When one of the
front doors is opened, this operation is
disabled.
