HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: Do not adjust the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The
system automatically adjusts to the
previously stored settings. For the system
to function efficiently, the instrument panel
and side air vents should be fully open.
Note: At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the system directs the air
stream toward the windshield and side
windows for as long as the engine remains
cold.
Note: When you switch off the system,
outside air does not enter your vehicle. Note:
When the system is in AUTO mode,
and the interior and exterior temperatures
are high, the system automatically selects
recirculated air to maximize cooling of the
interior. When the interior reaches the
selected temperature, the system
automatically selects outside air.
Note: When you select windshield
defrosting and defogging, the instrument
panel and footwell level functions switch
off automatically and air conditioning
switches on. Outside air flows into your
vehicle.
For maximum cooling performance, press
MAX A/C
.
To aid in side window defogging and
demisting in cold weather, press the floor
vent button.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning.
• Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to
60°F (15.5°C).
• Set the air distribution to panel or floor
(or both).
• Press
A/C so that A/C OFF appears
in the display.
• Press the recirculated air button so
fresh air enters the vehicle.
• Press the small fan button until the fan
is at its lowest setting.
HEATED WINDOWS AND

cause damage to the heated grid lines.
Your warranty does not cover this
damage.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to readjust the
mirror glass that has frozen in place. These
actions could cause damage to the glass
and mirrors.
Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
The heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog when you switch on the heated rear
window.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system
Your cabin air filter is located under the
instrument panel in the passenger footwell
area. The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen
in the air supplied to the interior of your
vehicle. The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
the
Scheduled Maintenance chapter.
For more information about your filter, see
an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START
(IF EQUIPPED)
The climate control system adjusts the
cabin temperature during remote start.
You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the ignition
on to return the system to its previous
settings. You can now make adjustments.
You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on, such
as:
• heated seats
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls. See
Information Displays
(page 88).
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).

immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes. Carbon
monoxide is present in exhaust fumes.
Take precautions to avoid its dangerous
effects. Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and leave it idling
for long periods, we recommend that you
do one of the following:
•
Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5
centimeters)
• Set your climate control to outside air. ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
(IF
EQUIPPED) WARNINGS
Failure to follow engine block heater
instructions could result in property
damage or serious personal injury.
Do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk
of electrical shock. Note:
The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
(-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element (installed in the engine block) and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
• Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter ’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.
• Use as short an extension cord as
possible.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.

C-MAX (CCG) Starting and Stopping the Engine

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 miles (480
kilometers). During this time, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics. The engine also needs to
break in. Avoid hard accelerations and
driving too fast for the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). If possible, avoid
carrying heavy loads up steep grades
during the break-in period.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Several things affect your fuel economy:
•
How you drive your vehicle
• How you maintain your vehicle
• The conditions you drive your vehicle
in
You may improve your fuel economy by
keeping these things in mind:
• Avoid constant accelerating in order to
change lanes and get around other
vehicles.
• Drive your vehicle at reasonable
speeds. Traveling at 65 miles per hour
(105 kilometers per hour) uses about
15 percent less fuel than traveling at 75
miles per hour (121 kilometers per
hour).
• Drive at steady speeds without
stopping.
• Anticipate stops. Slowing down your
vehicle may eliminate the need to stop.
• Keep the tires properly inflated and use
only the recommended size.
• Turn off the heater if you do not need
it. When you have the heater on, keep
it at the lowest blower and
temperature setting necessary to be
comfortable. •
When it is cold outside, park in a sunny
location or climate-controlled
environment. This may save fuel by
reducing the energy needed to heat the
cabin.
• Turn off the air conditioning if you do
not need it. When you have the air
conditioning on, keep it at the lowest
blower and highest temperature
setting necessary to be comfortable.
• When it is hot or sunny outside, parking
in a shaded or climate-controlled
environment will save fuel by reducing
the energy needed to cool the cabin.
• For the C-Max Energi, use
preconditioning to improve your fuel
economy. For more information on
preconditioning, See High Voltage
Battery (page 146).
• Turn off the heated seats if you are not
using them.
• Turn off the defroster when you no
longer need it for visibility, turning it off
will help you improve your fuel
economy.
• For the C-Max Energi, plug in and
recharge the high voltage battery
whenever possible.
• Use ECO Cruise Control, especially in
hilly terrain. For information on
enabling eco-cruise, See
Cruise
Control (page 171).
• Use low gear
L shift position when
enhanced engine braking is needed.
Otherwise, use drive gear
D shift
position.
• Combine errands and minimize
stop-and-go driving. A warmed up
engine works more efficiently. When
running errands, go to the furthest
destination first and then work your
way back home.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
