AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
AUTO: Press to switch on full automatic operation. Once you select your desired
temperature using the temperature control, the system then automatically
determines fan speed, airflow distribution, A/C on or off, and outside or
recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach and maintain the desired
temperature.
A
Fan speed: Press the large fan icon to increase the fan speed; press the small
fan icon to decrease the fan speed. Pressing one of the fan speed buttons while
in AUTO takes the system out of AUTO fan mode.
B
On and off button:
Press to switch the system on or off.
C
MAX Defrost:
Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents
and demister vents. You can use this mode to clear the windshield of fog and
thin ice. Automatically turns on rear window defroster and heated mirrors. Press
this button again to return to the previous airflow selection.
D
MAX A/C:
Press to distribute recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. Air conditioning automatically turns on, the fan speed
automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature display returns
to the full cool position. This re-cooling of the interior air is more economical
and efficient than normal air conditioning. Recirculated air may help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
E
105
C-MAX (CCG) Climate ControlE141422JIHGF
ABCDE

Recirculated air: Press to switch from outside air to recirculated air. When you
select 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 may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculated air turns on automatically when you select MAX A/C, or manually
in any airflow mode except defrost. Recirculated air may turn off automatically
in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog potential. Press the control
again to switch off recirculated air and allow fresh air to enter into the vehicle.
F
Defrost:
Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and demister
vents. The system automatically provides outside air to reduce window fogging.
Press again to switch off defrost mode.
G
Instrument panel:
Press to distribute air through the instrument panel vents.
Press again to switch off panel mode.
H
Floor:
Distributes air through the demister vents and front and rear seat floor
vents. Press again to switch off floor mode.
I
A/C:
Press to switch air conditioning on or off. Use with recirculated air to
improve cooling performance and efficiency. Air conditioning also turns on
automatically in some modes.
J
Temperature Control You can set the temperature between
60°F (15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C) in steps
of 1°F (0.5°C). In position LO, 59°F (15°C),
the system switches to permanent cooling.
In position
HI, 86°F (30°C), the system
switches to permanent heating. Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver's side and passenger's side. If you
adjust the setting using the rotary control
on the driver
’s side, the system adjusts the
temperature to the same setting on the
passenger ’s side.
Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger ’s
side using the rotary control on the
passenger ’s side. Single zone temperature
control automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver ’s side remains
unchanged. You can now adjust the
driver's side and passenger's side
temperatures independently. The display
shows the temperature settings for each
side.

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: Do not adjust the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The
system automatically adjusts to the
previously stored settings. For the system
to function efficiently, the instrument panel
and side air vents should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the system directs the air
stream toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine remains
cold.
Note: When you switch off the system,
outside air does not enter your vehicle. Note:
When the system is in AUTO mode,
and the interior and exterior temperatures
are high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the interior reaches the
selected temperature, the system
automatically selects outside air.
Note: When you select windshield
defrosting and defogging, the instrument
panel and footwell level functions switch
off automatically and air conditioning
switches on. Outside air flows into your
vehicle.
For maximum cooling performance, press
MAX A/C
.
To aid in side window defogging and
demisting in cold weather, press the floor
vent button.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning.
• Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to
60°F (15.5°C).
• Set the air distribution to panel or floor
(or both).
• Press
A/C so that A/C OFF appears
in the display.
• Press the recirculated air button so
fresh air enters the vehicle.
• Press the small fan button until the fan
is at its lowest setting.
HEATED WINDOWS AND
MIRRORS
(IF EQUIPPED)
Heated Rear Window
Note: You must switch the ignition on to
use this feature.
107
C-MAX (CCG) Climate Control

Press the button to clear the rear window
of thin ice and fog. Press the button again
to switch it off. The feature will turn off
automatically after several minutes, or
when you switch the ignition off.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp
objects to clean the inside of the rear
window, or to remove decals from the
inside of the rear window. This may
cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this
damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to readjust the
mirror glass that has frozen in place. These
actions could cause damage to the glass
and mirrors.
Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
The heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog when you switch on the heated rear
window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system
Your cabin air filter is located under the
instrument panel in the passenger footwell
area. The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen
in the air supplied to the interior of your
vehicle. The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
the
Scheduled Maintenance chapter.
For more information about your filter, see
an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START
(IF EQUIPPED)
The climate control system adjusts the
cabin temperature during remote start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the ignition
on to return the system to its previous
settings. You can now make adjustments.
You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on, such
as:
• heated seats
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls. See
Information Displays
(page 88).
Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to operate
in AUTO mode through the information
display setting: Remote Start > Climate
Control > Heater-A/C > Auto. The climate
control system automatically sets the
interior temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C).
