Climate Control System
Switching Off The Climate Control
System
Rotate the Air Seed Adjustment Knob
completely to the left to turn off the
Climate Control System.
With the air conditioner off:
Air recirculation is on.
The A/C compressor is off.
Thefanisoff.
The heated rear window can be
activated/deactivated.
Note:
The climate control system stores the
previously set temperatures and
resumes operation when any button on
the system is pushed.
Switching On The Climate Control
System
To switch the climate control system on
in automatic mode, push the AUTO
button.
Stop/Start Evo
The climate control system manages
the Stop/Start Evo system. Stop/Start
Evo has the engine shut off when
vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h) to
maintain comfort within the vehicle.
Stop/Start Evo will deactivate in the
following scenarios:
The climate control system is in
AUTO mode (indicator illuminated), and
the vehicle has yet to reach the set
temperature
The LO setting is active
MAX-DEF status is active
When the Stop/Start Evo system is
active, the engine will restart if the
inside temperature changes
significantly, or if the LO setting, or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated.
With Stop/Start Evo system on, air flow
is reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically
changes within the cabin, the climate
control system will continue to maintain
the temperature while the engine is off.
By deactivating the Stop/Start Evo
system with the
button located on
the dashboard, the climate control
system will take priority over the engine
shutting off. Note:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the
use of the Stop/Start Evo system to
prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off. This
will cause rapid misting of the windows
and the accumulation of humidity in
the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start Evo system is
on, the climate control system will
always take air in from outside,
reducing the probability of the windows
fogging up.
Additional Heater —
If Equipped
Note:
The additional heater automatically
operates if the outside temperature and
engine coolant temperature are low.
The heater will not operate if battery
voltage is low.
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 dealer before the summer.

Supplemental Restraint
Systems (SRS)
Some of the safety features described
in this section may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be
optional equipment on others. If you are
not sure, ask your authorized dealer.
The air bag system must be ready to
protect you in a collision. The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with the electrical Air
Bag System Components. Your vehicle
may be equipped with the following Air
Bag System Components:

Air Bag Warning Light
The ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the
ignition switch is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system
is not on and the air bags will not
inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bag system even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light in the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight seconds for
a self-check when the ignition switch is
first in the ON/RUN position. After the
self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light
will turn off. If the ORC detects a
malfunction in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if
the light comes on again after initial
startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that
will illuminate the instrument panel Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
detected that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record the
nature of the malfunction. While the air
bag system is designed to be
maintenance free, if any of the followingoccurs, have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immediately.The Air Bag Warning Light does not
come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is first
in the ON/RUN position.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains
on after the four to eight-second
interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on
intermittently or remains on while
driving.
Note:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any
engine related gauges are not working,
the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) may also be disabled. In this
condition the air bags may not be ready
to inflate for your protection. Have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
Warning!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t
have the air bag system to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is first turned
on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if
it comes on as you drive, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
