Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge WARNING:
Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the cooling
system is hot. Wait 10 minutes for the
cooling system to cool down. Cover the
coolant reservoir cap with a thick cloth
to prevent the possibility of scalding and
slowly remove the cap. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.
At normal operating temperature, the
needle will remain in the center section. Note:
Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been resolved.
If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See
Engine Coolant Check (page 251).
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates about how much
fuel is in the fuel tank.

(40 km), 10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.
Note: The low fuel reminder can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.

Note:
Recirculated air may turn off, or
prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.
Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver side and passenger side. If you adjust
the setting using the rotary control on the
driver side, the system adjusts the
passenger temperature to the same
setting.
Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger
side using the rotary control on the
passenger side. Single zone temperature
control turns off. The temperature on the
driver side remains unchanged. You can
now adjust the driver and passenger side
temperatures independently. The display
shows the temperature settings for each
side.
You can switch off dual zone mode by
pressing and holding AUTO for more than
two seconds.
Switching Back to Single Zone
Temperature Control
Press and hold AUTO. The passenger side
temperature adjusts to the driver side
temperature setting.
Smart Zone
(If Equipped)
If there is not an occupant in the front
passenger seat, the climate control system
may default to single zone 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 set point. Adjust the passenger set point normally if
you desire dual zone operation without a
passenger present.
You can disable or re-enable the Smart
Zone feature by pressing and holding
AUTO
for more than four seconds. Both
set point displays begin flashing to signify
when the feature disables. The system
returns to previous state after you release
AUTO
.
To re-enable the Smart Zone feature, press
and hold
AUTO for more than four
seconds. Only the driver set point display
begins flashing to signify when you
re-enable the feature. The climate control
system returns to the previous state after
you release
AUTO.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
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.

grid lines.
HEATED EXTERIOR MIRRORS
(IF EQUIPPED)
When you switch the heated rear window

Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or adjust the mirror glass
when it is frozen in place.
Note: Do not clean the mirror housing or
glass with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage
caused to the mirror housing or glass. CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter, which 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.
You can locate the cabin air filter behind
the glove box.
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance
(page 448).
For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START
(IF EQUIPPED)
The climate control system adjusts the
interior temperature during remote start.
You can switch this feature on or off and
adjust the settings using the information
display controls. See
Information
Displays (page 95).

setting during remote start operation.
