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.

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).

HomeLink Wireless Control
System (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door
opener manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death. Note:
Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Erasing the function
button codes later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Erasing the function
button codes later in this section. The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
that is integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. As well as being programmed for
garage doors, the system transmitter can
be programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door
locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com or by
calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
In-vehicle programming
This process is to program your hand-held
transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink
button.
Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This will ensure quicker training
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal. 1.
With your vehicle parked outside of the
garage, turn your ignition to the
on
position, but do not start your vehicle.
2. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1– 3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the HomeLink
button you want to program.

12-volt DC power point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use
of the lighter can cause damage not
covered by your warranty, and can result
in fire or serious injury. Note:
If used when the vehicle is not
running, the battery will discharge. There
may be insufficient power to restart your
vehicle.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element.
Note: Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
being discharged:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
