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 withAUTOselected, the system
directs airflow to the windshield and side window vents and fan may run
at a slow speed until the engine warms up.

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 theScheduled Maintenance
chapter.
For more information about your filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START CLIMATE OPERATION
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 will 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 theInformation Displayschapter.

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
engine.

Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the graphic with your finger.
To get the best performance from the touch-sensitive controls:
•Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
•Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may affect operation of a nearby
control.
•Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
•Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface
of the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference
(for example, inadvertently turning on a feature other than the one
you meant to turn on).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
•Power: Switch the media or climate features off and on.
•VOL:Control the volume of playing media.
•Fan: Control the speed of the climate system fan.
•Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
•Eject: Eject a CD from the entertainment system.
•SOURCE:Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media
modes. The screen does not change, but you see the media change
in the lower left status bar.
•SOUND:Touch the word to access the Sound menu where you can
adjust settings such as: Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and Fade,
THX Deep Note Demo, DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Occupancy
Mode and Speed Compensated Volume. (Your vehicle may not have
all of these sound options.)
•Hazard flasher: Switch the hazard flashers off and on.
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
