AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
A.AUTO:Press to engage full automatic operation. Once you select
your desired temperature using the temperature control, the system then
automatically determines fan speed, airflow distribution, A/C on or off,
and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach and
maintain the desired temperature.
B.Fan speed:Press the large fan icon to increase the fan speed; press
the small fan icon to decrease the fan speed. Pressing one of the fan
speed buttons while in AUTO takes the system out of AUTO fan mode.
C.On and off button:Press to turn the system on or off.
D.MAX Defrost:Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster vents and demister vents. You can use this mode to clear the
windshield of fog and thin ice. Automatically turns on rear window
defroster and heated mirrors. Press this button again to return to the
previous airflow selection.
E.MAX A/C:
Press to distribute recirculated air through the instrument
panel vents to cool the vehicle. Air conditioning automatically turns on, the
fan speed automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature
display returns to the full cool position. This re-cooling of the interior air is
more economical and efficient than normal air conditioning. Recirculated
air may help reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless you can open a window to help circulate
fresh air.
•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 air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
open for approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until
the vehicle has “aired out.”
•The air conditioning system cools both the interior of the vehicle and
the high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, the interior
temperature may temporarily increase if the high voltage battery
requires cooling. Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to
allow automatic battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
•An electrical heater warms the interior. Set the fan at a lower speed to
get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
•You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting.

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 theScheduled Maintenance
chapter.
For more information about your filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START CLIMATE OPERATION
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 will 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 theInformation Displayschapter.
