buttons.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL 
(ATC)  
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the front climate control 
display, and the word “AUTO” will illuminate along 
with two temperatures for the driver and front 
passenger. The system will then automatically 
regulate the amount of airflow.
2. Adjust the temperature you would like the system to  maintain, by adjusting the driver, passenger, and rear 
temperatures. Once the desired temperature is 
displayed, the system will achieve, and automatically 
maintain, that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is  not necessary to change the settings. You will 
experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing 
the system to function automatically.
NOTE:It is not necessary to move the temperature settings. The 
system automatically adjusts the temperature, mode, and 
fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as possible. To provide you with maximum comfort in the automatic 
mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan will remain on 
low until the engine warms up. The fan will engage 
immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by 
changing the front blower setting.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual override 
features. The AUTO symbol in the front climate control 
display will no longer be illuminated when the system is 
being used in the manual mode.
NOTE:The system will not automatically sense the presence of 
fog, mist or ice on the windshield. Defrost mode must be 
manually selected to clear the windshield and side glass.
CLIMATE VOICE RECOGNITION
Adjust vehicle temperatures hands-free and keep 
everyone comfortable while you keep moving ahead (If 
vehicle is equipped with climate control).
Push the VR/Phone button  . After the beep, say one of 
the following commands:
“Set the driver temperature to 70 degrees”
 “Set the passenger temperature to 70 degrees”
Did You Know:  Voice Command for Climate may only be 
used to adjust the interior temperature of your vehicle. 
Voice Command will not work to adjust the heated seats 
or steering wheel if equipped.
OPERATING TIPS 
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for suggested 
control settings for various weather conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with a 
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion 
protection and to protect against engine overheating. OAT 
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster 
performance, make sure the engine cooling system is 
functioning properly and the proper amount, type, and 
concentration of coolant is used. Use of the Air 
Recirculation mode during Winter months is not 
recommended, because it may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage
For information on maintaining the Climate Control system 
when the vehicle is being stored for an extended period of 
time, see  
Úpage 368.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Climate Control system 
through an intake grille, located in the right side trim 
panel behind the third row seats. The heater outlets are 
located in the right side trim panel, just behind the rear 
doors. Do not block or place objects directly in front of 
the inlet grille or heater outlets. The electrical system 
could overload causing damage to the blower motor.

72GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE  
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy, 
and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select 
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed. 
Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long 
periods, as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the 
windshield, is free of obstructions, such as leaves. Leaves 
collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they 
enter the air distribution box, they could plug the water 
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air intake is clear 
of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The Climate Control system filters out dust and pollen 
from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to service your 
cabin air filter, and to have it replaced when needed.
Stop/Start System — If Equipped
While in an Autostop, the Climate Control system may 
automatically adjust airflow to maintain cabin comfort. 
Customer settings will be maintained upon return to an 
engine running condition.
Windshield Wiper De-Icer — If Equipped
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer is a heating element located 
at the base of the windshield.
It operates automatically once the following conditions are 
met:
Activation By Front Defrost
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer activates automatically 
during a cold weather manual start with  full defrost, 
and when the  ambient temperature is below 33°F 
(0.6°C) .
 Activation By Rear Defrost
The Windshield Wiper De-Icer activates automatically 
when the Rear Defrost is operating and the  ambient 
temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C) .
 Activation By Remote Start Operation
When Remote Start is activated and the  outside 
ambient temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C)  the 
Windshield Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting Remote 
Start will resume its previous operation. If the Wind -
shield Wiper De-Icer was active, the timer and opera -
tion will continue.
