MIRRORS
Heated Rear Window The heated rear window button
is below the climate control
unit.
Press the button to clear the heated rear
window of thin ice and fog. The heated
rear window automatically turns off after
a short period of time. Start the engine
before you switch the heated rear window
on.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.
Heated Exterior Mirrors
(If Equipped) When you switch the heated
rear window on, the heated
exterior mirrors automatically
turn on.
Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass
when it is frozen in place.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or
glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.
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

C-MAX (CCG) Mexico/United States of America/Canada, enUSA, CPE Review Climate ControlE72507 E72507
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 remote start feature allows you to
pre-condition the interior of your vehicle.
The climate control system works to
achieve comfort according to your previous
settings.
Note: 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 normally, but you need to turn
certain vehicle-dependent features back
on, such as:
• Heated seats.
• Cooled seats.
• Heated steering wheel.
• Heated mirrors.
• Heated rear window. You can adjust the default remote start
settings using the information display
controls. See
Information Displays
(page 88).
Automatic Settings
In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C). The 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 seats do not
automatically turn on.
In cold weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C). The heated seats are set to high
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information display). The rear defroster
and heated mirrors automatically turn on.
