Climate Controls 8-3
Climate Mode Operation
There are three climate mode
settings: MIN, ECO, and MAX.
These settings adjust the impact the
climate control system has on the
vehicle's electric range or fuel
economy.
To select a climate mode:
1. Press CLIMATE on the centerstack.
2. Press the climate mode button on the touch screen. The climate
mode will be lit.
MIN (Fan Only Mode): The air
conditioning and electric heat are
turned off. As long as
0is not
selected, the climate control settings
may not have a noticeable effect on
the vehicle electric range and fuel
economy.
When in MIN mode, the AUTO
indicator light will be off. When
AUTO is selected in MIN mode, the
mode will change to either ECO
or MAX. When in MIN mode, the air
conditioning system may turn on
automatically if the high voltage
battery is being cooled. The climate
control system could blow cold air.
This is normal. To prevent cold air
from blowing into the interior, turn off
the fan control and select the vent
mode and manual recirculation
mode, and close the air vents.
When in MIN mode, if Auto Defog is
enabled, the air conditioning and
electric heat may turn on when high
humidity conditions exist. See
“Climate and Air Quality”
under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-52 for more information on
the Auto Defog selection. The air
conditioning may also run if
0is
selected.
ECO (Economy Mode): The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to balance comfort with
fuel economy. As long as
0is not
selected, the vehicle electric range or fuel economy will decrease less
than in MAX mode, but will result in
moderate comfort.
MAX (Comfort Mode):
The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to reach the best comfort
level based on the temperature
setting selected. In this mode,
vehicle electric range or fuel
economy will decrease depending
on the amount of energy required to
reach the best comfort levels.
Climate Power Gauge
When the climate mode is changed,
the Climate Power gauge displays
the impact that user setting changes
have on energy consumption. The
higher the reading, the more energy
is being used.
Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls
the fan speed, air delivery, air
conditioning, and recirculation in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature.

Vehicle Data
Recording and
Privacy
The vehicle has a number of
computers that record information
about the vehicle’s performance and
how it is driven. For example, the
vehicle uses computer modules to
monitor and control engine and
electric drive unit performance, to
monitor the conditions for airbag
deployment and to deploy them in a
crash, and, if equipped, to provide
antilock braking to help the driver
control the vehicle. These modules
may store data to help the dealer
technician service the vehicle.
Some modules may also store data
about how the vehicle is operated,
such as rate of fuel consumption or
average speed. These modules may
retain personal preferences, such as
radio presets, seat positions, and
temperature settings.
Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road
obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The
EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
.Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
.How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/
or brake pedal; and,
.How fast the vehicle was
traveling.
