h:Press to turn on the
recirculation. Press to alternate
between recirculation and outside
air, if the vehicle does not have a
separate outside air button.
The indicator light turns on when
recirculation is selected. Air is
recirculated inside the vehicle.
It helps to quickly cool the air inside
the vehicle and reduce the outside
air and odors that might enter.
%: If equipped, press to turn on
the outside air. An indicator light
comes on. Outside air is circulated
throughout the vehicle.
Auto Defog : The climate control
system has a sensor to
automatically detect high humidity
inside the vehicle. When high
humidity is detected, the climate
control system may adjust to
outside air supply and turn on the
air conditioner. If the climate control
system does not detect possible
window fogging, it returns to normal
operation. To turn Auto Defog on or
off, see “Climate and Air Quality”
under Vehicle
Personalization 0125.

Repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
z/J: If equipped with heated
seats, see Heated Front Seats 052. Remote Start Climate Control
Operation :
If equipped with the
remote start feature, the climate
control system may run when the
vehicle is started remotely. The
system uses the driver ’s previous
settings to heat or cool the inside of
the vehicle. The rear defog may
come on during remote start based
on cold ambient conditions. The
rear defog indicator light does not
come on during a remote start. If the
vehicle has heated front seats, they
may come on during a remote start.
See Remote Vehicle Start 029 and
Heated Front Seats 052.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located on top of
the instrument panel near the
windshield, monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system uses the
information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode.
Do not cover the solar sensor or the
system will not work properly.

Warning (Continued)
Battery fluid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, flush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
Be sure to use the following steps to
do it safely. Ignoring these steps
could result in costly damage to the
vehicle that would not be covered
by the warranty.
Trying to start the vehicle by
pushing or pulling it will not work,
and it could damage the vehicle.
Caution
If any accessories are left on or
plugged in during the jump
starting procedure, they could be
damaged. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Whenever possible, turn
off or unplug all accessories on
either vehicle when jump starting.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Always connect and remove the
jumper cables in the correct order,
making sure that the cables do
not touch each other or other
metal.
1. Remote Positive (+) Terminal 2. Remote Negative (−)
Terminal
1. The vehicle used to jump start must have a 12-volt battery
with a negative ground.
Caution
If the other vehicle does not have
a 12-volt system with a negative
ground, both vehicles can be
damaged. Only use a vehicle that
has a 12-volt system with a
negative ground for jump starting.
2. The vehicles should be close enough for the jumper cables
to reach, but the vehicles
should not be touching.
Touching could cause
grounding and possible
electrical system damage.
Put both vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brake
firmly.
3. Unplug accessories plugged into the cigarette lighter or the
accessory power outlet. Turn

off the radio and all lamps that
are not needed. Turn off the
ignition on both vehicles.
4. Locate the positive (+) and negative (−) terminals on both
vehicles. Some vehicles have
remote jump starting terminals.
{Warning
An electric fan can start up even
when the engine is not running
and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing, and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.
5. The remote positive (+) terminal (1) is located on the
underhood fuse block, on the
driver side. Lift the red cap to
uncover the terminal.
The remote negative (−)
terminal (2) is a stud behind
the metal tab stamped with
GND (−) near the driver side
strut tower. 6. The jumper cables should be in
good working condition with no
loose or missing insulation.
The vehicles could be
damaged if they are not.
7. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
8. Do not let the other end touch metal. Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal of the
good battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
9. Connect the black negative (−) cable to the negative (−)
terminal of the good battery.
Use a remote negative (−)
terminal if the vehicle has one.
Do not let the other end touch
anything until the next step.
The other end of the negative
(−) cable does not go to the
dead battery. It goes to a
heavy, unpainted metal engine part or to a remote negative (−)
terminal on the vehicle with the
dead battery.
10. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable away from
the dead battery, but not near
engine parts that move.
11. Start the vehicle with the good battery and run the engine.
12. Press the unlock symbol on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to disarm the
security system, if equipped.
13. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If it will not
start after a few tries, it needs
service.
Caution
If the jumper cables are
connected or removed in the
wrong order, electrical shorting
may occur and damage the
vehicle. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
