•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle
to“breathe”using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
2. Select A/C
3. Modulate the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to HI
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

1.A/C control:Uses outside air to
cool the vehicle. Press to turn on/off
in all modes except
or.
2.Recirculation control:Used to
manually enable or disable the
operation of recirculated air in all
modes except Defrost. Cools the vehicle more quickly by recirculating
the cabin air instead of using outside air and helps prevent unpleasant
outside odors or fumes from entering the vehicle. In automatic operation,
the recirculated air operates automatically as necessary to achieve the
selected temperature.
3.Passenger side temperature
control:Controls the temperature
on the passenger side of the vehicle
when in dual zone mode. To enter
dual zone, press the passenger temperature control or DUAL. The
passenger temperature will appear in the display.
4.Rear defrost control:Removes
ice and fog from the rear
windshield. Press to turn on/off.
5.DUAL(Single/dual electric
temperature control): Allows the
driver to have full control of the
cabin temperature settings (single zone) or allows the passenger to have
control of their individual temperature settings (dual zone control). Press
to enable dual zone mode, press again to return to single zone.

select the desired temperature. The
system will automatically determine
fan speed, airflow location and outside or recirculated air to heat or cool
the vehicle to achieve the selected temperature.
13.Driver’s side temperature

displayed until the EXT control is
pressed again. The external temperature will be most accurate when the
vehicle has been moving for a period of time.

Press to toggle between Fahrenheit
and Celsius temperature on the
DEATC display only. The set point temperatures in Celsius will be
displayed in half-degree increments.
Manual override controls:Allows
you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully
automatic control, press AUTO.
OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the OFF or (in cold weather) MAX A/C position.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle
to“breathe”using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.

AUXILIARY A/C-HEATER CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with auxiliary climate controls. These
allow the front or rear seat passengers to control airflow direction,
temperature and fan level of the rear compartment to quickly heat or
cool the vehicle.
Auxiliary climate controls are located in the first row overhead console
and in the floor console on the back of the front row console.
If the main climate control system is in the OFF position, the auxiliary
climate control will not operate.
The auxiliary unit can be controlled either by the front seat occupant(s)
using the front auxiliary control or by the rear seat passenger(s) using
the rear auxiliary control but not both. To control the auxiliary unit using
the rear control, the front auxiliary blower control must be in the REAR
position.
Front auxiliary controls:
1.Temperature control:
Determines airflow temperature in
the rear of the vehicle. If the main
climate control system is cooling in
MAX A/C or
mode, the
auxiliary temperature control will
not function as the entire vehicle
will operate at a full cool
temperature.
2.Mode selector:Press to select
air flow direction to
(Floor) or(Panel).
Directs air to the floor of the third row seating.
directs air to the overhead registers of the second and third row
seating. The selected mode will illuminate on the temperature control.
3.Fan control:Determines fan speed in the auxiliary system. Turn to
REAR to give rear seat passengers control of the rear auxiliary controls.
Otherwise, the front auxiliary control will determine the settings for the
auxiliary A/C-heater. If set to O (OFF), the rear auxiliary controls will
not function.

Rear auxiliary controls (if equipped):
Once the front auxiliary control is set to REAR, the rear seat passengers
may use the rear auxiliary controls in the floor console to make the
desired adjustments.
1.Temperature control:
Determines temperature levels. If
the main climate control system is
cooling in MAX A/C or
mode,
the auxiliary controls will not
function as the entire vehicle will
operate at a full cool temperature.
2.Mode selector:Press to select
between air flow to
(Floor)
or
(Panel).
Directs air to the floor of the third row seating.
directs air to the overhead registers of the second and third row
seating. The selected mode will illuminate on the temperature control.
3.Fan control:Determines fan speed levels.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
Used to manually enable or disable
rear window defrost in all modes.
After approximately 10 minutes of
rear defrost operation, the climate
control system will automatically
disable the rear defrost operation. If
desired, the rear defrost can be
manually disabled through the use
of the rear defrost button. When
operating, the rear defrost indicator will be lit. The rear window
defroster switch also activates the standard exterior mirror defrost
feature.
