Air intake control
The air intake control button is used
to select either Fresh mode (outside
air) or Recirculation mode (cabin air).
Recirculation mode
When Recirculationmode is selected, air
from the passenger
compartment will be
recirculated through the
system and heated or
cooled according to the
function selected.
Fresh mode
When Fresh mode is selected, air enters the
vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Information
Operating the system primarily in
Fresh mode is recommended. Use
Recirculation mode temporarily only
when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the
A/C ON can cause fogging of the wind-
shield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.
i
OOSEV048315
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode for a pro-
longed period of time may
cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This
may lead to loss of vehicle
control which may lead to an
accident.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
Recirculation mode with the
A/C OFF may allow humidity
to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the wind-
shield and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle
with the windows up and
either the heater or the air
conditioning ON for pro-
longed periods of time. Doing
so may increase the levels of
carbon dioxide in the cabin
which may lead to serious
injury or death.

Fan speed control
The fan speed can be set to the
desired speed by turning the fan
speed control knob.
More air is delivered with higher fan
speeds.
Pressing the OFF button turns off the
fan.
Information
For better sound quality, fan speed
may automatically slow down for a
couple of minutes when you activate
voice recognition or hands free.Operating the fan when the
POWER button is in the ON posi-
tion could cause the battery to
discharge. Operate the blower
when the vehicle is in the ready
()
mode.
Driver only
If you press the DRIVER ONLY
( ) button, the indicator light
will illuminate. In this mode the cli-
mate control system blows air prima-
rily through the two left-most vents
(nearest the driver). The purpose of the DRIVER ONLY
option helps to reduce energy con-
sumption from the climate control
system when only the driver is in the
vehicle.
Note that the DRIVER ONLY function
will be disabled when:
1) The DRIVER ONLY button is de-
selected (indicator light OFF)
2) Whenever the FRONT Defroster button is selected.
The DRIVER ONLY indicator light will
remain illuminated, but air will flow
through all upper vents towards the
windshield glass for as long as the
FRONT defrost button is activated.DRIVER ONLY

Air conditioning
1. Start the engine.
2. Press the air conditioning button.
3. Select the Face Level mode.
4. Set the air intake control toRecirculation mode temporarily to
allow the cabin to cool quickly.
When the desired temperature in
the cabin is reached, change the
air intake control back to Fresh
mode.
5. Adjust the fan speed control and temperature control to maintain
maximum comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control to the
MAX A/C position, then set the fan
speed control to the highest setting.
Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been achieved, switch back from recircu-
lation mode to fresh mode.
To help decrease the humidity inside the vehicle on rainy or humid
days, operate the air conditioning
system with the windows and sun-
roof closed. It is useful to operate the air condi-
tioning system periodically through-
out the year. Turn on the A/C sys-
tem at least once a month for a few
minutes to maintain system pres-
sure and help optimize A/C per-
formance.
Note that if you operate the air con-
ditioner to cool your vehicle with
the mode set to or when
the outside relative humidity is
high, moisture may collect on the
outer surface of the windshield
glass causing the windshield to fog
up on the outside and limit your
visibility.
If this occurs, use the windshield
wipers to clear the glass. In addi-
tion, change the mode selection
knob or button on the climate con-
trol system to the mode to
redirect cooling air away from the
windshield.

For maximum defrost perform-ance, set the temperature control
knob to the highest temperature
setting (rotated all the way to the
right) and the fan speed control to
the highest setting.
If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the
mode to the floor-defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, side view mirrors, and all side
windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probability
of fogging up the inside of the wind-
shield.To Defog Inside Windshield
1. Select the desired fan speed.
2. Select the desired temperature.
3. Press the defroster button ( ).
4. Fresh mode will be selected auto- matically.
Check to make sure the air intake
control is in Fresh mode. If the air
intake control LED is illuminated,
press the button once to enable
Fresh mode (LED OFF).
If the position is selected, the fan
speed is automatically increased.

outside and limit your visibility.
If this occurs, use the wind-
shield wipers to clear the glass.
In addition, change the mode
selection knob or button on the
climate control system to the mode to redirect cooling air
away from the windshield.

(if equipped)
Auto defogging helps reduce the pos-
sibility of fogging up the inside of the
windshield by automatically sensing
the moisture on inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates
when the heater or air conditioning is
on.
