Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
When it’s cold outside 0°F (−18°C) or lower,
use the engine coolant heater, if the vehicle has
one, to warm air faster in your vehicle. An
engine coolant heater warms the engine coolant
that is used to warm the inside of your vehicle. For
more information, seeEngine Coolant Heater on
page 128.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When
the air conditioning button is pressed, an indicator
light comes on to indicate that the air conditioning
is activated.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so sometimes a small amount of water drips
underneath the vehicle while it is idling or after the
engine is turned off. This is normal.
Maximum Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the
Cvent mode.
2. Select the highest fan speed.
3. Select
#air conditioning.
4. Select the
?recirculation mode.
5. Select the coolest temperature.
Using these settings together for long periods of
time can cause the air inside of your vehicle
to become too dry. To prevent this from
happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, it will
turn on using the last settings selected on the
climate control before the vehicle was turned off.
The fan and air delivery knobs can be used during
remote start. The buttons will not work until the
ignition is turned on by the key.
The climate control system changes back to
manual operation when the vehicle key is
turned to ON.

Defogging and Defrosting
You can use either defog or front defrost to clear
fog or frost from the windshield.
-(Defog):Use to clear the windows of fog or
moisture. Turn the mode knob to this position
to select this setting. This setting delivers air to the
oor and windshield outlets.
0(Defrost):Turn the mode knob to this position
to defrost the windshield. The system automatically
controls the fan speed if AUTO mode is selected.
If the outside temperature is 40°F (4°C) or
warmer, the air conditioning compressor
automatically runs to help dehumidify the air and
dry the windshield. The air conditioning indicator
light blinks three times if you try to turn off
the compressor while in this mode.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An indicator light above
the button comes on to indicate that the rear
window defogger is activated.If driving below 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window
defogger will turn off about 15 minutes after the
button is pressed. If turned on again, the defogger
will only run for about seven and one-half
minutes before turning off.
If your vehicle’s speed is maintained above
50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window defogger
remains on once the button is pressed.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the
rear defogger automatically turns on if it is
cold outside, but the indicator light does not come
on. When the vehicle transitions out of remote
start mode the rear defogger turns off.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Rotate the instrument panel outlets and move the
louvers on the outlets to change the direction
and amount of airow in your vehicle.

The fuel economy data used to determine fuel
range is an average of recent driving conditions.
As your driving conditions change, this data is
gradually updated. Fuel range cannot be reset.

until ECON is displayed. Average fuel economy is
how many miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per

based on current and past driving conditions.
Press and hold the enter button while ECON is
displayed to reset the average fuel economy.
Average fuel economy will then be calculated
