AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
AUTO: Press to switch on automatic operation. Adjust to select the desired
temperature. Fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and outside
or recirculated air are automatically adjusted to heat or cool the vehicle to
maintain the desired temperature. You can also switch off dual zone mode by
pressing and holding for more than two seconds.
A
Fan speed control:
Adjusts the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
B
Climate control display:
Shows the temperature settings and fan speed.
C
Air distribution control:
Press to switch airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.
D
Heated rear window: Press to switch the heated rear window on and off. See
Heated Windows and Mirrors
(page 112).
E
A/C:

compressor may continue to operate even though the air conditioning is
switched off.
Passenger temperature control:
Adjust the temperature setting on the
passenger side.
G
Recirculated air:
Press to switch between outside air and recirculated air. The
air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.

C-MAX Energi / C-MAX Hybrid (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Climate ControlE222398

Note: Recirculated air may turn on and off automatically (or prevent you from
switching on) in all modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging or to
improve cooling efficiency.
Heated seats:
Press to switch the heated seats on and off. See Heated Seats
(page 120).
I
MAX A/C:
Press for maximum cooling. The driver and passenger settings set
to LO, recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning
automatically turns on and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed.
J
MAX Defrost:
Press to switch on defrost. The driver and passenger settings
set to HI, outside air flows through the windshield vents, and fan automatically
adjusts to the highest speed. You can also use this setting to defrost and clear
the windshield of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window also
automatically turns on when you select maximum defrost.
K
Note:
To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.
Power:
Press to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it
prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.
L
Driver temperature control: Adjust the temperature setting on the driver side.
This control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when you switch off
dual zone mode.
M
Temperature Control You can set a temperature between
60°F
(15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C). If you select
LO, the system is set to permanent cooling.
If you select HI, the system is set to
permanent heating.
Note: If you select LO or HI, the system
does not maintain a stable temperature. Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver
’s side and passenger ’s side. If you
adjust the setting using the rotary control
on the driver ’s side, the system adjusts the
temperature to the same setting on the
passenger ’s side.
To switch back to single zone control from
dual zone, press and hold AUTO for a few
seconds. The passenger ’s side temperature
switches to the driver ’s side temperature
setting.

C-MAX Energi / C-MAX Hybrid (CCG) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Climate ControlE183686

Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger
’s
side using the rotary control on the
passenger ’s side. Single zone temperature
control automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver ’s side remains
unchanged. You can now adjust the driver ’s
side and passenger ’s side temperatures
independently. The display shows the
temperature settings for each side.
Smart Zone
If there is not an occupant in the front
passenger seat, the climate control system
may default to single zone in order to
improve fuel economy (if you were
previously in dual zone operation). When
this occurs, dual zone turns off and the
passenger set point changes to match the
driver's set point.
Press the dual zone button or adjust the
passenger set point normally if dual zone
operation is desired without a passenger
present. The system remains in dual zone
operation until you switch the vehicle off.
The Smart Zone feature can be disabled
(and re-enabled) by pressing and holding
the dual zone button. Both set point
displays begin flashing to signify that the
feature is disabled. The system returns to
previous state after the dual zone button
is released.
To re-enable the Smart Zone feature:
Press and hold the dual zone button for
more than four seconds. Only the driver's
set point display will begin flashing to
signify that the feature is re-enabled. The
climate control system returns to the
previous state after the dual zone button
is released. HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints WARNING
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up. If the
windows fog up, follow the settings
for demisting the windshield. 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 a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.
Note: Clean the inside glass surfaces
regularly using recommended glass cleaner.
Small dirt particles on the glass may
increase the incidence of fog.
In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning:
• Turn the temperature control knob so
the interior temperature is set to LO.
• Set the air distribution to instrument
panel or floor (or both).
• Press A/C to turn the air conditioning
off.

•
Press the recirculated air button so
fresh air enters the vehicle.
• Press the fan button until the fan is at
its lowest setting.
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 interior 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.
Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.

CABIN AIR FILTER
The cabin air filter is under the instrument
panel in the passenger footwell area.
The system filters airborne particles such
as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to and recirculated in the interior
of your vehicle.
Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. Running the system
without a filter in place could degrade or
damage the system.
Your vehicle cabin air filter gives you and
your passengers the following benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Change the air filter element at the proper
intervals. For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
