•:Distributes air through the floor vents and rear seat floor vents.
4.A/C:Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. A/C
engages automatically in MAX A/C,
(defrost)
and
(floor/defrost).
5.AUTO:Press to engage automatic temperature control. Select the
desired temperature using the temperature control. The system will
automatically determine fan speed, airflow location, A/C on or off, and
outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach the
desired temperature.
6.MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button
again for normal A/C operation.
7.
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 and, when used with A/C, may also
help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle.
Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can
be engaged manually in any airflow mode except
(defrost).
Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C. 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
(panel) or(panel/floor).
8.PASS TEMP (passenger temperature):Press to engage/disengage
separate passenger side temperature control. Turn to increase/decrease
the air 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.
Each time the vehicle is started and driven without an occupant in the
front passenger seat, the climate control system may default to single
zone operation to improve fuel economy. This smart-zone feature will
turn off the passenger temperature display and the temperature control
will be based on the driver’s temperature setting. If dual zone operation
is desired without a front passenger present, press PASS TEMP or adjust
the passenger temperature normally. The system will remain in dual zone
mode.

To disable the smart-zone feature:Press and hold PASS TEMP for
more than four seconds. Both temperature displays will begin flashing to
signify that the feature has been disabled. The system will remain in dual
zone mode.
To re-enable the smart-zone feature:Press and hold PASS TEMP for
more than four seconds. The driver’s temperature display will begin
flashing to signify that the feature has been re-enabled. The system will
return to the previous mode after PASS TEMP is released.

from entering the vehicle. Turn to increase/decrease the air temperature
on the driver side of the vehicle. The control also adjusts the passenger
side temperature when PASS TEMP is disengaged or anytime the
passenger seat is not occupied. 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.

VOICE COMMANDS IN CLIMATE MODE
Please refer to theVoice commands in climate modesection of the
Navigation systemsupplement for more information on using voice
commands with the climate control system.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select
(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.
•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.”
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
the MAX A/C mode, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting
and put the vehicle’s transmission in P (Park) to continue to receive cool
air from your A/C system.
For maximum cooling performance:
•Automatic operation:
1. Press AUTO for full automatic operation.
2. Do not override A/C or
(recirculated air).
3. Set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
•Manual operation:
1. Select MAX A/C.
2. Select
(panel) or(panel/floor).
3. Select
(recirculated air) to provide colder airflow.
4. Set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
5. Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.

Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future Car2Usystem programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the
programmed Car2Usystem buttons should be erased for security
reasons. Refer toErasing the Car2UHome Automation System
buttonslater in this section.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the
Car2Usystem. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have
another person assist you in programming the transmitter.
Additional Car2Usystem information can be found on-line at
www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2Usystem help line at
1-866-572-2728.
Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)
The Car2UHome Automation System may be programmed to operate
rolling code and fixed code garage door openers.
•Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every
time your remote control garage door opener is used.
•Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed
code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually
programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.
If you do not know if your garage
door opener is a rolling code or
fixed code device, open your garage
door opener’s remote control battery
cover. If a panel of DIP switches is
present your garage door opener is
a fixed code device. If not, your
garage door opener is a rolling code
device.
Note:Programming the Car2Usystem to a community gate will require
a unique set of instructions depending on the gate system model.
Contact the Car2Uhelp line at 1-866-572-2728 to program your Car2U
system.
Note:Accidentally entering the program mode may override previously
programmed buttons. This can happen by pressing and releasing the
outer two buttons, or all three buttons, simultaneously. If this happens,

do not press any button until the module times out after approximately
2.5 seconds and resets to normal mode. When time-out occurs, all three
LEDs will flash rapidly for a few seconds then turn off. Any settings
should remain as previously set.
Rolling code programming
Note:Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions. Read the entire procedure prior to beginning so
you will know which actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the
time-sensitive actions, the device will time out and you will have to
repeat the procedure.
Note:Do not program the Car2Usystem with the vehicle in the garage.
Make sure that your key is on and engine off while programming the
transmitter.
1. Firmly press the two outer
Car2Usystem buttons for
1–2 seconds, then release.
2. Go to the garage to locate the
garage door opener motor and its
“learn” button. You may need a
ladder to reach the unit and you
may need to remove the unit’s cover
or light lens to locate the “learn”
button. Press the “learn” button,
after which you will have
10–30 seconds to return to your
vehicle and complete the following
steps. If you cannot locate the
“learn” button, refer to the Owner’s Guide of your garage door opener or
call the toll-free Car2Usystem help line at 1-866-57Car2U
(1-866-572-2728).

1. To program units with fixed code DIP switches, you will need the
garage door hand-held transmitter, paper and a pen or pencil.
2. Open the battery cover and record the switch settings from left to
right for all 8 to 12 switches. Use the figure below:
When a switch is in the up, on, or + position, circle “L.”
When a switch is in the middle, neutral, or 0 position, circle “M.”
When a switch is in the down, off, or – position, circle “R.”
