WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any handheld device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. Note:
This manual describes product
features and options available throughout
the range of available models, sometimes
even before they are generally available. It
may describe options not fitted to your
vehicle.
Note: Some of the illustrations in this

different models, so may appear different
to you on your vehicle. However, the
essential information in the illustrations is
always correct.
Note: Always use and operate your vehicle
in line with all applicable laws and
regulations.
Note: Pass on this manual when selling

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL (If Equipped)
Fan speed control:
Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust
to select the desired fan speed.
A
A/C:
Press the button to turn air conditioning compressor on or off. Use air
conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
B
Note:
In certain conditions (such as when using Max Defrost), the air
conditioning compressor may continue to operate even after you switch off the
air conditioning with the
A/C button.
Power: Press the button to turn the system on and off. Switching off the climate
control system prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.
C
Heated rear window:
Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated
Windows and Mirrors (page 126).
D
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the airflow in your vehicle.
Adjust to select the desired temperature.
E
MAX Defrost:
Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full heat
position to maximize defrosting. Outside air flows through the windshield vents,
fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns
to the full heat position. You can use this setting to defog or clear a thin covering
of ice from the windshield. The heated rear window also automatically turns
on when you select MAX Defrost.
F
Note:
To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when MAX
Defrost is on.

MAX A/C: Turn the temperature control dial all the way past the full cool
position to maximize cooling. Recirculated air flows through the instrument
panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, the fan automatically
adjusts to the highest speed and the temperature dial returns to the full cool
position.
G
Air distribution control:
Press these buttons to turn airflow from the
windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. The system can
distribute air through any combination of these vents.
H
Note:
At least one of these buttons remain on while the system is on.
Heated seats (if equipped):
Turn the driver or passenger heated seats on
and off. See Heated Seats (page 135).
I
Recirculated air:
Press the button to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When recirculated air is selected, the air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool
the interior(when used with
A/C) and may also reduce unwanted odors from
entering your vehicle.
J
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning
on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
air may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel and Floor airflow
modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
Fan speed indicators:
Illuminate to indicate fan speed.
