settings. You can now make adjustments.

vehicle-dependent features back on, such
as:

information display controls. See

Automatic Settings
You can set the climate control to operate
in AUTO mode through the information
display setting: Remote Start > Climate
Control > Heater-A/C > Auto. The climate
control system automatically sets the
interior temperature to 72°F (22°C).
In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C). Cooled seats are set to high (if
available, and selected to AUTO in the
information display).
In moderate weather, the system either
heats or cools (based on previous
settings). The rear defroster, heated
mirrors and heated/cooled seats are not
automatically turned on.
In cold weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C). The heated seats and heated
steering wheel are set to high (if available,
and selected to AUTO in the information
display). The rear defroster and heated
mirrors are automatically turned on. Last Settings
You can set the climate control to operate
using the last climate control settings
through the information display setting:
Remote Start > Climate Control >
Heater
–A/C > Last Settings. The climate
control system automatically uses the
settings last selected before the vehicle
was turned off.
Heated and Cooled Devices
The climate control system controls other
heated and cooled devices inside the
vehicle. These devices (if available, and
selected to AUTO in the information
displays) may also be switched on during

The dual mode feature is also available
when the voice system displays a list of
items to pick from during a voice session,
where you would be able to touch the line
item or say "Line 2". If a command is not
understood or there are multiple options,
the system returns a list for you to choose
from.

Under the menu setting, you can set your
clock, access and make adjustments to
the display, sound and vehicle settings as
well as access settings for specific modes
or the help feature.
Setting the Clock
Note: The date is set by your vehicle's GPS;
you cannot manually set the date.
Note: If the battery has been disconnected,
the vehicle needs to acquire a GPS signal
to update the clock. Once your vehicle
acquires the signal, it may take a few
minutes for the update to display the correct
time.

2. Press + and - to adjust the time.
From this screen, you can also make other
adjustments such as 12-hour or 24-hour
mode, activate GPS time synchronization
and have the system automatically update
new time zones.
Once you update any settings they are
automatically saved. Display Settings

touchscreen display using the touchscreen,
press Menu, then Display. Select any of the

display using voice commands,
