AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
AUTO: Press to switch on automatic operation. Adjust to select the desired
temperature. Fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and outside
or recirculated air are automatically adjusted to heat or cool the vehicle to
maintain the desired temperature. You can also switch off dual zone mode by
pressing and holding for more than two seconds.
A
Fan speed control:
Adjusts the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
B
Climate control display:
Shows the temperature settings and fan speed.
C
Air distribution control:
Press to switch airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.
D
Heated rear window: Press to switch the heated rear window on and off. See
Heated Windows and Mirrors
(page 112).
E
A/C:
Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning cools your
vehicle using outside air. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve performance
and efficiency.
F
Note: In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even though the air conditioning is
switched off.
Passenger temperature control:
Adjust the temperature setting on the
passenger side.
G
Recirculated air:
Press 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.

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.
Smart Zone
If there is not an occupant in the front
passenger seat, the climate control system
may default to single zone in order to
improve fuel economy (if you were
previously in dual zone operation). When
this occurs, dual zone turns off and the
passenger set point changes to match the
driver's set point.
Press the dual zone button or adjust the
passenger set point normally if dual zone
operation is desired without a passenger
present. The system remains in dual zone
operation until you switch the vehicle off.
The Smart Zone feature can be disabled
(and re-enabled) by pressing and holding
the dual zone button. Both set point
displays begin flashing to signify that the
feature is disabled. The system returns to
previous state after the dual zone button
is released.
To re-enable the Smart Zone feature:
Press and hold the dual zone button for
more than four seconds. Only the driver's
set point display will begin flashing to
signify that the feature is re-enabled. The
climate control system returns to the
previous state after the dual zone button
is released. HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up. If the
windows fog up, follow the settings
for demisting the windshield. 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.
Note: Clean the inside glass surfaces
regularly using recommended glass cleaner.
Small dirt particles on the glass may
increase the incidence of fog.
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 so
the interior temperature is set to LO.
• Set the air distribution to instrument
panel or floor (or both).
• Press A/C to turn the air conditioning
off.

Note:
Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.
Heated Exterior Mirrors (If Equipped) When you switch the heated rear
window on, the heated exterior
mirrors will automatically turn
on.
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass
when it is frozen in place.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or
glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter is under the instrument
panel in the passenger footwell area.
The system filters airborne particles such
as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to and recirculated in the interior
of your vehicle.
Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. Running the system
without a filter in place could degrade or
damage the system.
Your vehicle cabin air filter 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.
Change the air filter element at the proper
intervals. For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START
(If Equipped)
You can switch this feature on or off and
adjust the settings using the information
display.
The system adjusts the interior
temperature depending on your chosen
settings during remote start.
You cannot adjust the climate control
setting during remote start operation.
When you switch the ignition on, the
climate control system will return to the
previous settings. You can now make
adjustments.
You can switch on certain
vehicle-dependent features when needed,
such as:
• Heated seats.
• Cooled seats.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Heated mirrors.
• Heated rear window.
Automatic Settings
In hot weather, the system is set to
72°F
(22°C). The cooled seats are set to high
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information display).
In moderate weather, the system either
heats or cools (based on previous
settings). The rear defroster, heated
mirrors and heated or cooled seats do not
automatically turn on.
In cold weather, the system is set to
72°F
(22°C). The heated seats are set to high
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information display). The heated rear
window and heated mirrors automatically
turn on.
