8-4 Climate Controls
Rear Window Defogger
=(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off.
The rear window defogger turns
off automatically after about
10 minutes. If turned on again it
runs for about 5 minutes before
turning off. At higher speeds, the
rear window defogger may stay
on continuously.
The rear window defogger can
be set to automatic operation,
see Climate and Air Quality
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40. When auto rear defog is
selected, the rear window defogger
turns on automatically when the
interior temperature is cold and the
outside temperature is about 40°F
and below. The auto rear defogger
turns off automatically after about
10 minutes. At higher speeds, the
rear window defogger may stay on
continuously. The heated outside rearview mirrors
turn on when the rear window
defogger button is on and helps to
clear fog or frost from the surface of
the mirror. See
Heated Mirrors on
page 2‑23.
Notice: Do not try to clear frost
or other material from the inside
of the front windshield and rear
window with a razor blade or
anything else that is sharp.
This may damage the rear
window defogger grid and affect
your radio's ability to pick up
stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your
warranty.
Heated and Ventilated Seats:
Press to heat or ventilate the seat.
See Heated and Ventilated Front
Seats on page 3‑11. Remote Start Climate Control
Operation:
For vehicles with the
remote vehicle start feature, the
climate control system may run
when the vehicle is started remotely.
The system uses the driver's
previous settings to heat or cool the
inside of the vehicle. See Remote
Vehicle Start on page 2‑10.
The rear window defogger turns on
if it is cold outside.
Sensors
The solar sensor located on top
of the instrument panel near the
windshield, monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system
uses the sensor information to
adjust the temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
If the sensor is covered the
automatic climate control system
may not work properly.

9-20 Driving and Operating
To start the vehicle:
Starting Procedure
1. With the brake pedal applied,press the START button located
on the instrument panel. See
Ignition Positions on page 9‑18.
2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button and
the engine cranks automatically
until it starts.
If the transmitter is not in
the vehicle or something is
interfering with the transmitter,
the Driver Information Center
(DIC) will display NO REMOTE
DETECTED. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5‑28 for more information.
If the battery in the keyless
access transmitter needs
replacing, the DIC displays
Replace Battery In Remote Key.
The vehicle can still be driven.
See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑4 for more information. 3. Do not race the engine
immediately after starting
it. Operate the engine and
transmission gently until the
oil warms up and lubricates
all moving parts.
4. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is displayed,
wait 15 seconds before trying
again to let the cranking motor
cool down.
If the engine does not start
after 5-10 seconds, especially
in very cold weather (below
−18°C or 0°F), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing the accelerator
pedal all the way to the floor
while cranking for up to
15 seconds. Notice:
Cranking the engine for
long periods of time, by pressing
the START button immediately
after cranking has ended,
can overheat and damage the
cranking motor, and drain the
battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the
cranking motor to cool down.
When the engine starts, let go of
the accelerator. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the
same thing. This clears the extra
gasoline from the engine.
The vehicle has a
Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects
components. Once cranking has
been initiated, the engine continues
cranking for a few seconds or until
the vehicle starts. If the engine does
not start, cranking automatically
stops after 15 seconds to prevent
cranking motor damage. To prevent
gear damage, this system also
prevents cranking if the engine is
already running.
