touchscreen to access your climate control
features. Depending on your vehicle line
and option package, your climate screen
may look different from one of the screens
shown below. Your screen may not contain
all of the features shown.

Heated steering wheel:
Touch this icon to switch the heated steering wheel
on and off. It takes about 5 minutes to warm the steering wheel to 74°F (23°C)
in temperatures as low as -4°F (-22°C). The wheel maintains an approximate
temperature of 90°F (32°C) and operates independently from the heated seats
and other climate-control functions. The heating element is in between the
leather covering and foam core to help provide maximum heat without adversely
affecting the feel of the steering wheel.
B
Note:
This feature only functions when you switch the engine on. 527

vehicle, based on your remote start settings. The heated steering wheel may
also turn on when you start your vehicle, if it was on when you switched your

also automatically turns on when you select MAX Defrost.
Defrost:
Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and demister
vents.

distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside air or recirculated
air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature.
D
Power:
Touch the button to switch the system on and off. Switching off the
climate control system prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

Recirculated air: Touch to switch the recirculated air on or off. When
recirculated air is on, it may reduce the amount of time needed to cool down
the interior (when used with A/C) and help reduce odors from reaching the
interior.
Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or the system may not allow
Recirculated air to turn on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk
of fogging. It may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel/Floor
airflow modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
Manual airflow distribution controls:
Select these controls individually,
together, or with Defrost to direct the air flow to the area you desire.
