Remote Vehicle Start
The remote vehicle starting feature allows you to
start the engine from outside of the vehicle. It
also starts up the vehicle’s automatic climate
control system. When the remote start system is
active, the climate control system will heat
and cool the inside of the vehicle according to the
previous settings of the system before turning
the vehicle off. The rear window defogger will be
turned on by the climate control system when
it is cold outside. If the vehicle has heated seats,
they will also turn on. SeeHeated and Cooled
Seats on page 11for additional information.
Cooled seats are not activated during a remote
start. Normal operation of the climate control
system will return after the key is turned to RUN.
SeeDual Climate Control System on page 210.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may
require a person using remote start to have
the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements on remote starting
of vehicles.Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
Your RKE transmitter, with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle
is running. As a result, you may need to be
closer to your vehicle to turn it off, than you were
to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see “Remote
Keyless Entry System Operation” listed previously
for additional information.
/(Remote Start):Press and release the lock
button and then press and hold this button to use
the remote start feature.

Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
If the vehicle is equipped with this feature, the
driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the automatic
dimming rearview mirror.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it
will also be capable of performing the curb
view assist mirror feature. This feature will allow
the driver’s and passenger’s side mirror to tilt to a
factory programmed position when the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
allowing you to view the curb when you are
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and either a ve-second delay has occurred,
or the ignition is turned to OFF, the driver’s and
passenger’s side mirror will return to its original
position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like
other vehicles) look farther away than they
really are. If you cut too sharply into the
right lane, you could hit a vehicle on your
right. Check your inside mirror or glance
over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen
from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a
dimming feature.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it
also warms both outside mirrors to help clear them
of fog or ice. SeeDual Climate Control System
on page 210for more information.

After the vehicle is started, the display will
show the interior temperature settings and the
outside temperature.
If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the air
conditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will
run automatically even at cool outside temperatures
in order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator
light will be lit when the system is operating
automatically, even at near freezing outside
temperatures. Press the A/C button on the fan
control to turn off the A/C. For improved window
clearing performance in defog or defrost modes,
the A/C compressor will run automatically.
h(AUTO RECIRCULATION):If the AUTO
position is selected on either the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the air
inlet to supply fresh outside air or recirculate the
interior air to cool the car faster. The indicator light
on the recirculation button will light whenever the
system switches to recirculation. You may force
outside air by pressing the recirculation button
when the light is lit. For vehicles without rear climate
controls, press the outside air button to force
outside air. The next time AUTO fan or mode is
selected, the air inlet will reset back to AUTO
operation.
Manual Operation
9(Fan):Turn the left control either to the left or
right to adjust the fan speed. Turning this control
completely counterclockwise will turn on the
automatic fan operation. Turning this control to the
“O” position will turn the climate control system off.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment air
lter may need to be replaced. SeePassenger
Compartment Air Filter on page 220.
9(Off):Turn the left control to this position to
turn the entire climate control system off.
To change the current mode, select one of the
following positions using the right control:
AUTO:Turn the control to this position to turn on
the automatic delivery mode operation.
F(Vent):Turn the control to this mode to direct
air to the instrument panel outlets.
*(Bi-Level):Turn the control to this mode to
direct approximately half of the air to the instrument
panel outlets and most of the remaining air to the
oor outlets. In automatic operation, cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
oor outlets.

Rear Climate Control System
If your vehicle has a rear climate-control system,
the rear-seat passengers can use it to adjust
the direction of the airow, the fan speed and
the temperature for the rear-seating area.
This system also works with the main
climate-control system in your vehicle.
The control panel for this system is located on the
back of the center console.If the AUX button located on the front climate
control panel is pressed, the rear climate control
system will be turned on. The rear system will
operate in automatic mode and the temperature
settings selected for the front climate control panel
will also be selected for the rear passengers.
If the rear passenger would like to adjust the
rear climate control system, they can select
a different temperature and a different mode
or fan speed.
Whenever the rear passengers have adjusted
settings on the rear climate control system,
the AUX light is lit on the front climate control
system. The driver can turn off the auxiliary fan
by pressing the AUX button.
When the front climate control system is turned
off or in defrost mode, the rear climate control
system is turned off. The rear system will turn
back on once another front mode is selected.
For more information on how to use the climate
control system, seeDual Climate Control System
on page 210. For more information on the air
outlets, seeOutlet Adjustment on page 217.
