Turn the control to increase or decrease the air temperature on the passenger
side of the vehicle. This turns on dual zone mode.
Recirculated air: Press the button to switch between outside air and
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.
F
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning
on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow
modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
Defrost: Press the button to distribute air to the windshield vents and de-mister.
Air distribution to instrument panel and footwell vents turn off. You can use
this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
G
Instrument panel:
Press to distribute air through the instrument panel vents.
Press again to turn off panel mode.
H
Floor:
Distributes air through the demister vents and front and rear seat floor
vents. Press again to turn off floor mode.
I
A/C:
Press the button to turn air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air
conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
J
Note:
In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air
conditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off the
air conditioning with the
A/C button.
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.
Switching Back to Single Zone
Temperature Control
Press and hold AUTO for 2-4 seconds. The
passenger ’s side temperature switches to
the driver ’s side temperature setting.
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 floor 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.
Manual Climate Control
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position. Increase the temperature
and fan speed to improve clearing, if
required.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
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 airflow
to the windshield and side window vents
and fan may run at a slow speed until the
engine warms up.

interior temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C). 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 rear defroster and heated
mirrors automatically turn on.
Last Settings
You can set the climate control to operate
using the last climate control settings
through the information display setting:
Remote Start > Climate Control >
Heater –A/C > Last Settings. The climate
control system automatically uses the
settings last selected before you turned
off the vehicle. Heated and Cooled Devices
The climate control system controls other
heated and cooled devices inside the
vehicle. You can switch these devices on
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information displays) during remote start.
Heated devices typically switch on during
cold weather, and cooled devices during
hot weather.

Voice Settings
Voice settings allow you to customize the
level of system interaction, help and
feedback. The system defaults to standard
interaction that uses candidate lists and
confirmation prompts as these provide the
highest level of guidance and feedback. •

provides detailed interaction and
guidance while the advanced mode
has less audible interaction and more
tone prompts.

uses these short questions to confirm
your voice request. If turned off, the
system simply makes a best guess as
to what you requested. The system
may still occasionally ask you to
confirm settings.
• Phone and Media Candidate Lists:
Candidate lists are lists of possible
results from your voice commands. The
system creates these lists when it has
the same confidence level of several
options based on your voice command.
