HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on. Note:
Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach comfort
in hot weather, drive with the windows
slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start-up
or until your vehicle airs out. Automatic Climate Control
Note:
Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary. The system automatically adjusts
to heat or cool the cabin to your selected
temperature as quickly as possible. For the
system to function efficiently, the instrument
panel and side air vents should be fully
open.
Note: If you select
AUTO during cold outside
temperatures, the system directs airflow to
the windshield and side window vents. In
addition, the fan may run at a slower speed
until the engine warms up.

MEMORY FUNCTION
WARNINGS
Before activating the seat memory,
make sure that the area immediately
surrounding the seat is clear of obstructions
and that all occupants are clear of moving
parts. Do not use the memory function when
your vehicle is moving. This feature will automatically recall the
position of the driver's seat, power mirrors
and optional power steering column. The
memory control is located on the driver’
s
door. Saving a Pre-Set Position
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Adjust the seat, exterior mirrors and
power steering column to your desired
position.
3. Press and hold the desired pre-set button
until you hear a single chime. Note:
A confirmation that a memory pre-set
is saved will appear in the information
display.
Up to three pre-set memory positions may
be saved. A memory pre-set may be saved
at any time.
Recalling a Pre-Set Position
Press and release the pre-set button
associated with your desired driving position.
The seat, mirrors and steering column will
move to the position stored for that pre-set.
Note: A pre-set memory position can only
be recalled when the ignition is off, or when
the transmission is in park (P) or neutral (N)
if the ignition is on.
Note: Press any seat or mirror adjustment
switch (or any memory button) during a
memory recall to cancel the operation.

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNING
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket (if equipped). Improper use of the
lighter can cause damage not covered by
your warranty, and can result in fire or
serious injury. Note:
If used when the engine is not running,
the battery will discharge. There may be
insufficient power to restart your engine.
Note: Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Note: Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
you may blow a fuse.
Note: Do not use the power point for
operating a cigar lighter element. Note:
Improper use of the power point can
cause damage not covered by your
warranty.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the
power point. To prevent the battery from
being discharged:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the engine is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or while the vehicle remains
parked for extended periods of time.
Locations
Power points may be found:
• In front of the center console.
• Inside the center console storage bin.
• On the rear of the center console (12V or
110V AC)
• In the rear cargo area. 110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices plugged
in the power point whenever the
device is not in use. Do not use any
extension cord with the 110 volt AC power
point, since it will defeat the safety protection
design. Doing so my cause the power point
to overload due to powering multiple devices
that can reach beyond the 150 watt load limit
and could result in fire or serious injury. Note:
The power point will turn off when you
switch off the ignition or the battery voltage
drops below 11 volts. 155
MKC (TME), enUSA Auxiliary Power PointsE143941
Page 159 of 490

You can use the power point, located on the
rear of the center console, for powering
electrical devices that require up to 150
watts.
When the indicator light, located on the
power point, is:
•
on — power point is working, ignition is
on and you have the device plugged in.
• off — power point is off, ignition is off or
you do not have a device plugged in.
• flashing — power point is in fault mode.
The power point temporarily turns off power
if you exceed the 150 watt limit. It can also
switch to a fault mode when it overloads,
overheats or shorts. For overloading and
shorting conditions, unplug your device and
switch the ignition off and then back on. For
overheating conditions, let the system cool
off, then turn the ignition off and then back
on. The power point is not designed for electric
devices such as:
•
Cathode ray tube type televisions.
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners,
electric saws and other electric power
tools, compressor-driven refrigerators,
etc.
• Measuring devices, which process
precise data, such as medical equipment,
measuring equipment, etc.
• Other appliances requiring an extremely
stable power supply:
microcomputer-controlled electric
blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.
