2.(Recirculated air):Touch to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged 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.
3.MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Touch MAX A/C again for
normal A/C operation.
4.A/C control:Touch to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C,
(defrost) and(floor/defrost).
5.

climate control system. When the system is off, outside air is prevented
from entering the vehicle through the vents. Turn to increase or
decrease fan speed.
6.AUTO:Touch to engage full automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system will
automatically determine fan speed, airflow distribution, A/C on or off,
and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle in order to
reach the desired temperature.
7.
R(Rear defroster):Touch to activate/deactivate the rear defroster.
This button will also activate/deactivate the heated mirrors (if equipped).
Refer toRear window defrosterlater in this chapter for more
information.
8.
(Defrost):Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster vents and demister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield
of fog and thin ice. The system will automatically provide outside air to
reduce window fogging. Touch this button again to return to the previous
air flow selection. To return to full automatic control, touch AUTO.
9.Driver temperature control:Touch to increase (+) or decrease (-)
the temperature on the driver side of the vehicle. If the passenger
temperature controls are not activated (dual zone), the driver’s settings
will determine the temperature setting for the entire vehicle cabin.

MyTemp:Touch and hold to save the desired temperature for MyTemp.
To access this setting again, simply touch the indicator.
The MyTemp feature can be used to store and recall a preset driver’s
temperature. This feature is provided so this temperature can be quickly
adjusted to a frequently used setting with a single button touch.
To save a new preset temperature for the active user, manually adjust
the driver’s temperature to the desired value then touch and hold the
MyTemp button for at least two seconds. Any subsequent touch of the
MyTemp button will automatically change to this set temperature for this
user.
The preset temperature can be saved for each user via a personal
computer and transferred to the vehicle via a USB device. Refer to
Creating a user profilein theEntertainment Systemschapter for
more information.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(defrost) or(floor/defrost).
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with
(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start-up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C):
1. Press MAX A/C. The system will default to single-zone operation and
set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
2. A/C,
