audio controls. See “Audio
Steering Wheel Controls”
in the Index.

Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. These settings include the set
temperatures for driver and passenger, air conditioning,
mode and fan speed. (This feature does not recall
recirculation
or defrost modes.) This feature allows
two different drivers to store and recall their own
climate control settings. The settings recalled by the
climate control system
are determined by which RKE
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back
of the RKE transmitter
corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After any button
is pressed on the
RKE transmitter or the key is placed
in the ignition, the climate control settings will
automatically adjust to where they were last set. The
settings can also be changed by briefly pressing buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.
