8-4 Climate Controls stay on continuously. The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off
the engine.
Notice: Do not use anything
sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut
or damage the warming grid, and
the repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle
license, tape, a decal, or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
Heated Front Seats (If Equipped)
L or
M : Press to heat the driver
or passenger seat cushion and
seatback. To turn off, press the
button until the indicator lights turn
off. See Heated Front Seats on
page 3 ‑ 6 .
Remote Start Climate Control
Operation
For vehicles with the remote start
feature, when it is activated, the
climate control system heats and
cools the inside of the vehicle using
the modes that were set before the
vehicle was turned off. Automatic Climate Control System The heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can be controlled with
this system. For vehicles with the remote start feature, the climate control
system functions as part of the remote start feature. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2 ‑ 2 .

Automatic Operation
This climate control system
automatically maintains the desired
temperature inside the vehicle. Do

Climate Controls 8-5not cover the sensor on the top of
the instrument panel near the
windshield, or the sensor grille
below the climate control faceplate.
These two sensors help regulate the
inside air temperature.
AUTO (Automatic Fan): Turn the
fan knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically adjust the fan speed
to reach the desired inside
temperature.
Temperature Control: Select the
desired cabin air temperature
between 16-32°C (60-90°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.
AUTO (Automatic Air Delivery
Mode): Turn the air delivery mode
knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically control the direction of
the airflow to help reach the desired
inside temperature.
The system automatically controls
the air inlet to supply the outside air
or recirculated inside air needed to heat or cool the vehicle faster. The
@ button indicator light is lit
whenever the recirculation mode
is on.
Press the
8 button to change to
outside air. However, the
recirculation mode may turn back on
automatically.
In cold weather, if the fan and air
delivery modes are in automatic, the
system starts at lower fan speeds to
avoid directing cold air into the
vehicle until warmer air is available.
The climate control system directs
air to the floor, but may
automatically change modes as the
vehicle warms up to maintain the
chosen temperature setting. The
length of time needed to warm the
interior depends on the outside
temperature and inside temperature
of the vehicle.
Manual Operation
9 (Fan Control): Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the left knob to the
9 position. In any setting other than
off, the fan runs continuously with
the ignition on. The fan must be
turned on to run the air conditioning
compressor. There will be some
airflow noticeable from the various
outlets when driving, even with the
fan in the off position. To turn off the
air completely, turn the fan to
9 and select the @ button.
Temperature Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the
temperature. Select the desired
cabin air temperature between
16-32°C (60-90°F). Typically, the
best setting is near 23°C (75°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
change the current airflow mode.

8-6 Climate Controls Select from the following air delivery
modes:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
) (Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel
outlets and the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets with some air directed
to the windshield.
When this mode is selected, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in floor mode. This is
to help prevent window fogging.
- (Defog): Clears the windows of
fog or moisture. Air is directed to the
floor outlets, with some air directed
to the windshield and side window
outlets. In this mode, the system
turns the recirculation mode off and
runs the air conditioning compressor
unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in defog mode.
This helps prevent window fogging. 0 (Defrost): Removes fog or frost
from the windshield more quickly.
Air is directed to the windshield and
the side window outlets. In this
mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off automatically
and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside air is
at or below freezing. Recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in
defrost mode. This helps prevent
window fogging.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
# (Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on to
show that the air conditioning is on.
The air conditioning can be selected
in any mode as long as the fan is on
and the outside temperature is
above freezing. A flashing indicator
light indicates that the air
conditioning compressor is currently
not available. On hot days, use the automatic fan
and automatic air delivery mode
settings and the vehicle will reach
the desired temperature more
quickly. The desired fan and air
delivery mode settings can still be
adjusted manually. Open the
windows to let the hot inside air
escape, then close them. This helps
reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down and helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine.
8 (Outside Air): Press to turn
the outside air mode on. An
indicator light comes on to show
that outside air is on. Air from
outside the vehicle will circulate
throughout the vehicle. The outside
air mode can be used with all
modes, but it cannot be used with
the recirculation mode. Pressing this
button will cancel the
recirculation mode.
