The doors can also be locked and unlocked with the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ (Passive Entry) system if
equipped. For further information, refer to “Keyless
Enter-N-Go™” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle.”
If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition
is in the MAR/RUN position, and any front door is open,
the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking the key in the vehicle. Placing the
ignition in the STOP/OFF position or closing the door
will allow the locks to operate. If a door is open, and the
ignition is in the MAR/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the key.
NOTE:If all of the doors are closed properly, the door
locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed
exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h). For further information, refer
to “Uconnect® SETTINGS” in “Multimedia.”
Keyless Enter-N-Go™
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and a
feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go™. This feature allows you
to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
push the RKE transmitter LOCK or UNLOCK buttons.

Manual Climate Controls — If EquippedThe Manual Climate Controls consist of a series of rotary
dials with inner push buttons.
1. Blower Control
Rotate this control to regulate the amount of air forced
through the ventilation system in any mode. The blower
speed increases as you move the control clockwise from
the “0” (OFF) position.
2. Temperature Control
Rotate this control to regulate the temperature of the air
inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the dial
counter-clockwise into the blue area of the scale indicates
cooler temperatures, while rotating clockwise into the red
area indicates warmer temperatures. Rotating the Tem-
perature Control all the way counter-clockwise results in
turning on the MAX A/C feature.

on the display. Turning the control knob completely in
one direction or the other activates the#HI#(maximum
heating) or#LO#(maximum cooling) functions shown in
the display, respectively. To deactivate these functions,
turn the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
9. SYNC Button
Push the Sync button to toggle the Sync feature ON/OFF.
The Sync indicator will illuminate when this feature is
enabled. Sync is used to synchronize the passenger
temperature setting with the driver temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature setting while in
Sync mode will automatically exit this feature and return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
10. Mode Buttons
Airflow distribution modes can be adjusted so air comes
from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, de-mist
outlets and defrost outlets by selecting these buttons.
One, two or all modes may be selected at any one time.
11. Blower Control
Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air
forced through the climate system. Adjusting the blower
will cause the automatic mode to change to manual
operation. The speeds can be selected by rotating the
Blower Control adjustment knob.
12. ON/OFF Button
Push this button to turn the Climate Control ON/OFF.
13. Recirculation Button
Push to change the current setting. The LED illuminates

•Heated rear window
•System deactivation
NOTE:The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor
located in the interior rearview mirror and protected by a
specific cover. Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate control system to
operate with less than optimal efficiency.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to push the AUTO button and
turn the Temperature Control knobs to set the desired
temperatures.
The system operates automatically to adjust the tempera-
ture, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation function and the activation of the air condi-
tioning compressor.
During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and blower speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to adjust to the
new requirements.
During automatic operation (AUTO), varying the air
flow and/or distribution (which are not displayed)
causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the system
to operate in MANUAL mode (displaying both the flow
and distribution requested).
When the compressor is deactivated, the AUTO opera-
tion remains active only if the system can guarantee
in-car comfort. Otherwise, the system changes to
124 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

MANUAL mode (the set temperatures will flash on the
display). The blower speed is the same in all the zones of
the passenger compartment.
Adjusting The Air Temperature
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control, or the Passenger
Temperature Control, dial clockwise or counter-
clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the front left
(Driver Temperature Control) or right (Passenger Tem-
perature Control) zone of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.
Push the SYNC button to align the air temperature
between the two zones.
Turn the Passenger Temperature Control knob to return
to the separate management of air temperatures in the
two zones.
Turning the control knobs completely in one direction or
the other activates the#HI#(maximum heating) or#LO#
(maximum cooling) functions respectively.
To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature knob
to the desired temperature.
Air Distribution Selection
By pushing the Mode Control buttons (Defrost/Panel/
Floor buttons), it is possible to set one of the seven
possible air distributions manually by activating one or
more mode buttons:
•Defrost Mode – Air flow to the windshield and front
side window diffusers to defrost them. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature settings for best
windshield and side window defrosting. When the
defrost mode is selected, the blower will automatically
default to medium-high.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 125

•Panel Mode – Air flow is distributed between the
footwell diffusers and the central and side instrument
panel vents.
•Floor Mode – Air flow is directed from the front and
rear footwell diffusers.
•Floor and Panel Modes – Air flow is distributed
between the footwell diffusers and the central and side
instrument panel vents.
•Floor and Defrost Modes – Air flow distributed be-
tween footwell diffusers and windshield and front side
window defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting
allows the passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows from misting.
•Defrost and Panel Modes – Air flow distribution
between windshield defrosting diffusers and side and
central instrument panel vents.
•Defrost, Panel and Floor Modes – Air flow distribution
to all the diffusers.
NOTE:Air always flows from the side instrument panel
diffusers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air flow
by operating the wheel located near the corresponding
vents.
In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically
manages air distribution (LEDs on the Mode Control
buttons are off).
When set manually, the air distribution is indicated by
the LEDs on the selected buttons turning on.
In combined function mode, functions are enabled to-
gether with those already set when the relevant button is
pushed. If a button whose function is already active is
pushed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding
LED turns off.
126 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:The Front Defrost Control (MAX-DEF) function
remains on for approximately three minutes from when
the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature.
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are adjusting the fan speed and
turning the heated rear window off.
When the Recirculation Control, Rear Defrost Control , or
AUTO buttons are pushed, the Climate Control system
will deactivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield
distribution activates the Climate Control system com-
pressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air recirculation
is set to#outside air#intake (LED on the recirculation
button off).
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
It is, however, always possible to manage air recirculation
and the Climate Control system compressor manually.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost button to turn
the function on/off.
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.
