Climate Settings
Optimal efficiency is achieved with the climate system off (the climate ON indicator is off on the touchscreen). If using the climate system, the most efficient operation is in the following order:
Fan Only – electric cabin heating/cooling is off (Heat & A/C button indicator is off)
Heat & A/C – provides active cabin heating/cooling, but uses more energy. Touch the screen button to turn the air conditioning and heater on when the fan is on.
Use the heated seats and heated steering wheel (if equipped) to reduce the demand on the cabin heating system. Heating the seats and steering wheel uses less energy than heating the vehicle interior.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
