Automatic Air Recirculation :
When
the AUTO indicator light is on, the air
is automatically recirculated as
needed to help quickly cool the inside
of the vehicle.
The climate control system may have
a sensor to detect air pollution. When
using automatic air recirculation, the
air quality control system may
operate. To adjust the sensitivity of
the air quality sensor, see “Climate
and Air Quality” underVehicle
Personalization 0144.@:Touch or press@on the
display or center stack to alternate
between recirculating air inside the

press AUTO on the display or center
stack to return to automatic
operation; recirculation runs
automatically as needed.
Manual recirculation mode is not
available when in Defrost or Defog
modes.
Auto Defog : The climate control
system may have 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 off or
on, see “Climate and Air Quality”
under Vehicle Personalization 0144.

172 CLIMATE CONTROLS
Sensor
The solar sensor, on top of the
instrument panel near the windshield,
monitors the solar heat.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed, recirculation,
and air delivery mode for best
comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the automatic
climate control system may not work
properly.Air Quality Sensor
If equipped with an air quality sensor,
the climate control system adjusts to
limit some exhaust fumes from being
pulled inside the vehicle.
Touch or press AUTO on the display
or center stack to activate the air
quality sensor. Recirculation is
automatically selected when poor
quality air is detected. The air quality
sensor will not maintain recirculation
for an extended period to prevent the
air inside the vehicle from becoming
too dry or stuffy.
Under certain conditions, the air
quality sensor will not activate, such
as during cold weather or with
extreme odors. Touch or press
@to
activate recirculation.
The air quality sensor system does not
protect against carbon monoxide (CO),
which you cannot see or smell. See
Engine Exhaust 0199. The air quality
sensor operation can be adjusted. See
“Climate and Air Quality” under
Vehicle Personalization 0144.
Rear Climate Control
System
If equipped, the rear climate control
system is on the rear of the center
console. The settings can be adjusted

displays after shifting from R (Reverse)
to a forward gear, or by touching
CAMERA on the infotainment display,
and when the vehicle is moving
forward slower than 8 km/h (5 mph).
If equipped, the front vision camera
also displays when the Parking Assist
system detects an object within
30 cm (12 in).
Curb View Camera (CTS-V
Series Only)
If equipped, a view of the area in front
of the vehicle shows in the
infotainment display. The display
shows a top down view on the top of
the screen and left and right front
camera images on the bottom. The
front views display after shifting from
R (Reverse) to a forward gear, or by
touching CAMERA on theinfotainment display, and when the
vehicle is moving forward slower than
8 km/h (5 mph). If equipped, the front
camera images also display when the
Parking Assist system detects an
object within 60 cm (24 in). The front
cameras are on both sides of the front
fascia.
{Warning
The camera(s) do not display
children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
crossing traffic, animals, or any
other object outside of the cameras’
field of view, below the bumper,
or under the vehicle. Shown
distances may be different from
actual distances. Do not drive or
park the vehicle using only these
camera(s). Always check behind and
around the vehicle before driving.
Failure to use proper care may
result in injury, death, or vehicle
damage.
Parking Assist
With RPA, and if equipped with FPA,
as the vehicle moves at speeds of less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) the sensors on
the bumpers may detect objects up to
2.5 m (8 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in
front of the vehicle within a zone
25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and
below bumper level. These detection
distances may be shorter during
warmer or humid weather. Blocked
sensors will not detect objects and
can also cause false detections. Keep
the sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow,
ice, and slush; and clean sensors after
a car wash in freezing temperatures.
{Warning
The Parking Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To
prevent injury, death, or vehicle
