When in MIN mode, the AUTO
indicator light will be off. When
AUTO is selected in MIN mode, the
mode will change to either ECO
or MAX.
When in MIN mode, the air
conditioning system may turn on
automatically if the high voltage
battery is being cooled. The climate
control system could blow cold air.
This is normal. To prevent cold air
from blowing into the interior, turn off
the fan control and select the vent
mode and manual recirculation
mode, and close the air vents.
When in MIN mode, if Auto Defog is
enabled, the air conditioning and
electric heat may turn on when high
humidity conditions exist. See
“Climate and Air Quality”under
Vehicle Personalization 0145 for
more information on the Auto Defog
selection. The air conditioning may
also run if
0is selected.
ECO (Economy Mode) : The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to balance comfort with
fuel economy. As long as
0is not
selected, the vehicle electric range or fuel economy will decrease less
than in MAX mode, but will result in
moderate comfort.
MAX (Comfort Mode) :
The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to reach the best comfort
level based on the temperature
setting selected. In this mode,
vehicle electric range or fuel
economy will decrease depending
on the amount of energy required to
reach the best comfort levels.
Climate Power Gauge
When the climate mode is changed,
the Climate Power gauge displays
the impact that user setting changes
have on energy consumption. The
higher the reading, the more energy
is being used.
Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls
the fan speed, air delivery, air
conditioning, and recirculation in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature.
When the indicator light is on or
AUTO is displayed on the touch
screen, the system is in full automatic operation. If the air
delivery mode or fan setting is
manually adjusted, the auto
indicator turns off and the display
will show the selected settings. Auto
operation can be turned off
individually for climate settings.
For automatic operation:
1. Press AUTO.
2. Set the temperature. Allow the system time to stabilize. Then
adjust the temperature as
needed for best comfort.
To improve fuel efficiency and to
cool the vehicle faster, recirculation
may be automatically selected in
warm weather. The recirculation
light will not come on. Press
@to
select recirculation; press it again to
select outside air.
English units can be changed to
metric units through the instrument
cluster. See “Settings”under
