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.
NOTE:
•Passive Entry can be enabled or disabled. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been
raining on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock
sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time. •
If the vehicle is unlocked by the Passive Entry Door
Handle, and no door goes ajar within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will re-lock and if equipped, the security alarm
will arm.
To Unlock From The Driver’s Side
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver’s door handle, grab the front driver
door handle to unlock the driver’s door automatically.

•Heated rear window
• System deactivation
NOTE: The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor,
located in the lower instrument panel between the center
console and the steering wheel.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to turn the Temperature Control
knobs to set the desired temperatures and then push the
AUTO button.
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 or pushing the A/C control
button causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the
system to operate in MANUAL mode.
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 theHI(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.
• Panel Mode – Air flow is distributed between 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.
120 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

•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.
To restore automatic control of the air distribution after a
manual selection, push the AUTO button.
Adjusting The Fan Speed
Rotate the Blower Control knob to increase/decrease the
fan speed.
The speed is indicated by the eight Blower Control
Indicator LEDs, located above the Blower Control knob,
turning on.
•
Maximum blower speed = all LEDs illuminated
• Minimum blower speed = one LED illuminated
The blower can only be turned off if the A/C compressor
has been turned off by pushing the A/C Control button.

illuminated).
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are pushing the A/C control button,
adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear
window off.
When the Recirculation 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 and the air recirculation is set to
outside air
intake.
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
Max-defrost is also available in manual mode.
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.
