3. Mode Control
Rotate this control to change the system between Modes
(Panel, Bi-Level, Floor, Mix, Defrost).
•Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the
instrument panel. These outlets can be ad-
justed to direct airflow.
NOTE:The center instrument panel outlets can be ad-
justed so that they are directed toward the rear seat
passengers for maximum airflow to the rear.
•Bi-Level
Air is directed through the panel and floor
outlets.
•Floor
Air is directed through the floor outlets with a
small amount flowing through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
•Mix
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and
side window demister outlets. This setting
works best in cold or snowy conditions that
require extra heat to the windshield. This setting is
good for maintaining comfort while reducing mois-
ture on the windshield.
•Defrost
Air is directed through the windshield and
side window demister outlets. Use this mode
with maximum blower and temperature settings for
best windshield and side window defrosting.
NOTE:The air conditioning compressor operates in Mix
or Defrost, even if the Air Conditioning (A/C) button is
not pushed. This dehumidifies the air to help dry the
windshield. To improve fuel economy, use these modes
only when required.

can be used when outside conditions such as smoke,
odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
NOTE:
•Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
•The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp
weather could cause windows to fog on the inside,
because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Se-
lect the outside air position for maximum defogging.
•Recirculation can be used in all modes except for
Defrost.
•The A/C can be deselected manually without dis-
turbing the mode control selection.

Activation of this function is indicated by the rear defrost
indicator light on the instrument panel turning on. The
function is automatically deactivated after 20 minutes.
If equipped, push the rear defrost button to activate the
defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window de-
froster heating filaments do not affix stickers or other
objects to the inside of the rear glass.
Air Recirculation
Push and release the Air Recirculation button so that the
LED is on, to enter recirculation mode. It is recommended
to turn the internal air recirculation on while standing in
traffic or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-
luted air.
Do not use the function for a long period of time,
particularly if there are many passengers in the vehicle,
to prevent the windows from misting up.
NOTE:Internal air recirculation makes it possible to reach
the required heating or cooling conditions quickly depend-
ing on the mode selected. Do not use the internal air
recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would con-
siderably increase the possibility of the windows misting.
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be turned on
at least once a month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealership
before the summer.
NOTE:The system uses R-1234yf (refrigerant) which
does not pollute the environment in the event of acciden-
tal leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
(refrigerant) allowed.
11 8 G E T T I N G TO K N O W Y O U R V E H I C L E

NOTE:
•When in Max Defrost mode, the Recirculation button
will change the setting to normal Defrost mode. This
indicates that you can not enter to this mode due to
fogging risk.
•When the Auto indicator is ON and the Recirculation
indicator is OFF, the Recirculation is in AUTO mode.
If the Recirculation indicator is ON, the Recirculation
setting is manual and Recirculation is ON.
14. Driver Temperature Display
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control dial clockwise or
counter-clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the
front left (Driver Temperature Control) zone of the pas-
senger compartment. The set temperature is shown on
the display. Turning the control knob completely in one
direction or the other activates the#HI#(maximum heat-
ing) or#LO#(maximum cooling) functions shown in the
display, respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn
the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control system regu-
lates the air temperatures in the passenger compartment
in two zones: driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and compensates for possible variations in
external climate conditions.
The Climate Control system can recognize extremely cold
(or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger compart-
ment and provide optimal management of the system’s
capabilities.
NOTE:The reference temperature is 72° F (22° C) for
optimal comfort management.
