adjusts the blower motor speed, air
distribution and air conditioning operation
to reduce window fogging.
Note:
The system starts at the previous
setting when you switch on AUTO mode.
Note: You can also switch off dual zone
mode by pressing and holding the button for
more than two seconds.

Switching Maximum Air Conditioning
On and Off
Press and release the button for
maximum cooling.
The driver and passenger temperatures are
set to LO, recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel air vents, air conditioning
turns on and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.
Switching Maximum Defrost On and
Off Press and release the button for
maximum defrosting.
The driver and passenger temperatures are
set to HI, air flows through the windshield air
vents, and the blower motor adjusts to the
highest speed.
Note: Depending on your region, air
conditioning turns on.
You can also use this setting to defog and
clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. Note:
To prevent window fogging, you
cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.
Note: The heated rear window also turns on
when you select maximum defrost.
Switching Recirculated Air On and Off Press and release the button to
switch between outside air and
recirculated air.
The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. This may reduce
the time needed to cool the interior, when
used with A/C, and reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency. HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select as
quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs air flow to
the windshield and side window air vents. In
addition, the blower motor may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.

WHAT IS THE CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter improves the quality of air
in your vehicle by trapping dust, pollen and
other particles.
REPLACING THE CABIN AIR FILTER
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 564).
The cabin air filter is behind the glove
compartment.
To remove the lower glove compartment and
access the filter:
1. Open the glove compartment. 2. Press the tab on each side.
3. Fully lower the glove compartment.
4. Pull the glove compartment toward you.
WHAT IS AUTO AIR REFRESH
(IF
EQUIPPED)
Auto Air Refresh helps improve or maintain
the quality of air within your vehicle cabin. HOW DOES AUTO AIR REFRESH
WORK
(IF EQUIPPED)
Auto Air Refresh uses an outside gases
sensor to automatically adjust the climate
control system to change from outside air to
recirculated air to help reduce the entry of
outside odors into the cabin. It uses a
particulate matter sensor in the cabin to
estimate and provide information about
particulate matter pollution in the cabin. It
also allows you to refresh the cabin air with
outside air on-demand or automatically.
CHECKING THE INTERIOR AIR
QUALITY
(IF EQUIPPED) Press the button on touchscreen
feature bar to see current cabin
PM2.5 information.
Note: You can also press the menu button
on the climate control unit and then press
PM2.5 on the touchscreen.
Press
Cabin Air History to see a recent
history of average PM2.5 in the cabin.

Particulate Matter Pollution
Information
PM2.5 is particulate patter pollution smaller
than 2.5 microns in size in the air.
PM2.5 particles can include cigarette smoke,
road level pollution, industrial pollution, and
some allergens.
The numbers provided by the cabin PM2.5
sensor are estimates of the concentrations
of particles in the cabin air. The
measurement unit is µg/m3, representing
mass (micrograms of particulates) per unit of
air volume (cubic meter of air).
The colors around the PM2.5 numbers
provide visual cues about the concentration
levels.
Note:
PM2.5 is only one pollution type
contributing to an Air Quality Index and by
itself does not represent the Air Quality
Index. AUTO AIR REFRESH INDICATORS
(IF EQUIPPED)
The indicator area is on the touchscreen
feature bar and displays one of the following: Indicates blower motor is on for
filtering and PM2.5 is low.
Indicates the blower motor is on
for filtering.
Indicates the blower motor is off.
Indicates the status is not available.
REFRESHING THE INTERIOR AIR
Manually Refreshing the Interior Air (If
Equipped)
1. Press MENU on the climate control unit.
2. Press Cabin Refresh on the touchscreen. Note:
Climate control settings could change
for about 90 seconds to help flow outside
air into the cabin. You can change the
blower motor speed to the settings you
prefer.
Automatically Refreshing the Interior
Air
(If Equipped)
If the cabin air recirculates continuously for
longer than 35 minutes, climate control
settings could change automatically for about
90 seconds to help flow outside air into the
cabin.
Refreshing the Interior Air Upon Start
If the cabin is above a certain high
temperature while parked for over 30
minutes, when you start the engine the
climate control system settings could change
for approximately 60 seconds to help flow
outside air into the cabin.
Note: The system is not designed to cool the
interior air temperature.
