DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL1. AUTO/Driver temperature: Press to engage full automatic
operation. 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 to reach the desired temperature. Turn to
increase/decrease the temperature on the driver side of the vehicle.
The control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when PASS
TEMP is disengaged. The recommended initial setting is between
72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C), then adjust for comfort. The driver
side temperature setting will appear in the upper left corner of the
display. The engine may run continuously to provide A/C operation
unless ECON mode is selected. Selecting ECON mode affects A/C
operation. Refer to ECON information later in this section.
2.
RRear defroster: Press to activate/deactivate the rear window
defroster. Refer to Rear window defroster later in this chapter for
more information.
3.
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. On days where the outside temperature is
approximately freezing or higher, the engine will run continuously in
this mode. Press this button again to return to the previous air flow
selection or press AUTO to return to automatic operation.

fogging. On days where the outside temperature is approximately
freezing or higher, the engine will run continuously in this mode.
5.
Power/: Press to activate/deactivate the climate control
system. When the system is off, outside air is shut out. Turn to
manually increase/decrease the fan speed. The manual fan speed

Recirculated air: Press 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, may reduce
the energy needed to keep the interior of the vehicle cool, and may
also help reduce undesired outside odors from reaching the interior
of the vehicle. Recirculated air is controlled automatically when
AUTO is selected or can be engaged manually in any airflow mode
except
(defrost). Recirculated air may turn off automatically in
some airflow modes to reduce window fogging potential. When the
ignition switch is turned off and back on, the climate system will
return to the recirculated air mode only if the A/C button LED is
illuminated and the air distribution selection is either
AUTO,
(panel) or(panel/floor).

12.ECON: Press to activate/deactivate economy air conditioning
operation. ECON mode may provide improved fuel economy by
preventing the gasoline engine from running for the sole purpose of
providing A/C. When the gas engine turns off, the A/C compressor
does not operate to cool the cabin and comfort may be reduced. In
ECON mode, A/C operates as normal when the gasoline engine is
running. To prioritize cooling comfort over fuel economy, deactivate
ECON. ECON can not be selected in
(defrost) or
(floor/defrost).
13. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.

display and is labeled EXT TEMP.
Temperature conversion: To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius,
refer to Setup menu in theMessage center section of theDriver
Controls chapter.
