DUAL AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
1.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 toRear window defrosterlater 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.

4.Defrost/Floor:Distributes air through the windshield defroster
vents, demister vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents. 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.
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 setting will
appear on the left side of the display. To return to automatic fan
operation, press AUTO.
6.
Panel:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.
7.
Panel/Floor:Distributes air through the instrument panel vents,
demister vents, floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
8.
Floor:Distributes air through the demister vents, floor vents and
rear seat floor vents.
9.Passenger temperature:Press to engage/disengage separate
passenger side temperature control. Turn to increase/decrease the
temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The recommended
initial setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C), then adjust for
comfort. The passenger side temperature setting will appear in the upper
right corner of the display.
10.
Passenger heated seat control (if equipped):Press to
activate/deactivate the passenger heated seat. SeeHeated seatsin the
Seating and Safety Restraintschapter.
11.
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. Engages
automatically in AUTO,
(defrost) and(floor/defrost). Selecting
ECON mode affects A/C operation. Refer to ECON information previously
in this section.
14.
Driver heated seat control (if equipped):Press to
activate/adjective the driver heated seat. SeeHeated seatsin the
Seating and Safety Restraintschapter.
Outside temperature:The outside temperature will appear in the
display and is labeled EXT TEMP.
Temperature conversion:To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius,
refer toSetup menuin theMessage centersection of theDriver
Controlschapter.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(defrost) or(floor/defrost).
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system OFF or with
(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats by blocking the air from the rear seat floor
vents.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
