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.
D
Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or prevent you from switching on) in all\
air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of
fogging or to improve cooling efficiency.
MAX A/C:
Press for maximum cooling. The driver and passenger settings set to LO, recirculated air flows through the instrument
panel vents, air conditioning turns on and the fan adjusts to the highes\
t speed.
E
A/C:
Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and effic\
iency.

rate even though
you switch off the air conditioning.
Power:
Press to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.
G
AUTO:
Press to switch on automatic operation. Adjust to select the desired te\
mperature. Fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning

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: 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. Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary.
Note: The system automatically adjusts to
heat or cool the interior to your selected
temperature as quickly as possible.
Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
Note: If you select AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs airflow to
the windshield and side window vents. In
addition, the fan may run at a slower speed
until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select
AUTO during hot
temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
Fan speed may also reduce until the air
cools.

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
When you switch the heated rear window
on, the heated exterior mirrors 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
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which 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.
You can locate the cabin air filter behind the
glove box.
133
MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201703, First Printing Climate ControlE184884

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.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 483).
For additional cabin air filter information, or
to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START
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 returns to the previous settings. You
can now make adjustments. You need to switch on certain
vehicle-dependent features, such as:
•
Heated seats.
• Cooled seats.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Heated mirrors.
• Heated rear window.
Automatic Settings
In hot weather, the system sets to
72°F
(22°C). The cooled seats are set to high (if
available, and AUTO is on 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 turn on.
In cold weather, the system sets to
72°F
(22°C). The heated seats are set to high (if
available, and AUTO is on in the information
display). The heated rear window and heated
mirrors turn on.

SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Sitting improperly, out of position or
with the seatback reclined too far can
take weight off the seat cushion and affect
the decision of the passenger sensing
system, resulting in serious injury or death
in the event of a crash. Always sit upright
against your seat back, with your feet on the
floor. Do not recline the seatback as this can
cause the occupant to slide under the
safety belt, resulting in serious injury in the
event of a crash. Do not place objects higher than the
seatback to reduce the risk of serious
injury in the event of a crash or during heavy
braking. When you use them properly, the seat, head
restraint, safety belt and airbags will provide
optimum protection in the event of a crash.
We recommend that you follow these
guidelines:
•
Sit in an upright position with the base of
your spine as far back as possible.
• Do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.
• Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head and
as far forward as possible. Make sure that
you remain comfortable. •
Keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 10 in (25 cm)
between your breastbone and the airbag
cover.
• Hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent.
• Bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• Position the shoulder strap of the safety
belt over the center of your shoulder and
position the lap strap tightly across your
hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.
HEAD RESTRAINTS WARNINGS
Fully adjust the head restraint before
you sit in or operate your vehicle. This
will help minimize the risk of neck injury in
the event of a crash. Do not adjust the head
restraint when your vehicle is moving.
135
MKT (TP4) , enUSA, Edition date: 201703, First Printing SeatsE68595

WARNINGS
The head restraint is a safety device.
Whenever possible it should be
installed and properly adjusted when the
seat is occupied. An improperly adjusted
head restraint may provide reduced
protection to an occupant during certain rear
impacts Install the head restraint properly to
help minimize the risk of neck injury in
the event of a crash. Note:
Adjust the seatback to an upright
driving position before adjusting the head
restraint. Adjust the head restraint so that
the top of it is level with the top of your head
and as far forward as possible. Make sure
that you remain comfortable. If you are
extremely tall, adjust the head restraint to
its highest position. Front seat head restraints
