WARNING
∙ The air conditioner cooling functionoperates only when the engine is
running.
∙ Do not leave children or adults who would normally require the assis-
tance of others alone in your vehicle.
Pets should also not be lef t alone.
They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent
operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
∙ Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner.

NOTE:∙ Odors from inside and outside the ve-
hicle can build up in the air condi-
tioner unit. Odor can enter the pas-
senger compartment through the
vents.
∙ When parking, set the heater and air
conditioner controls to turn off air re-
circulation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Cooling and/or dehumidified
heating (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as
the system automatically works to keep a
constant temperature. Air flow distribution,
air intake control, and fan speed are also
controlled automatically.
1. Press the AUTO button on.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to the lef t or right to set the desired tem-
perature.
∙ Adjust the temperature display to about 75°F (24°C) for normal operation. ∙ The temperature of the passenger
compartment will be maintained auto-
matically. Air flow distribution, air intake
control and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as
the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
3. You can individually set driver’s and front passenger’s side temperature us-
ing each temperature control dial.
∙ To synchronizes the driver’s and front passenger’s temperature settings,
press the SYNC button. The SYNC indi-
cator will illuminate and SYNC text will
appear in the Climate display.
Heating (A/C off )
The air conditioner does not activate. When
you need to heat only, use this mode.

desired temperature.
1. If the air conditioner is on, touch the “A/C” key on the screen. The A/C indica-
tor light will turn off.
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature. ∙ The temperature of the passenger
compartment will be maintained auto-
matically. Air flow distribution, air intake
control and fan speed are also con-
trolled automatically.
∙ Do not set the temperature lower than the outside air temperature. Otherwise,
the system may not work properly.
∙ Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or
defogging
1. Press thefront defroster button
on. (The indicator light on the button
will come on.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the desired temperature.

∙ When thefront defroster button is
pressed, the air conditioner will auto-
matically be turned on at outside tem-
peratures above 36°F (2°C). The air recir-
culate mode automatically turns off,
allowing outside air to be drawn into the
passenger compartment to further im-
prove the defogging performance.
Remote Engine Start with
Intelligent Climate Control (if so
equipped)
Vehicles equipped with automatic climate
controls and Remote Engine Start function
may go into automatic heating or cooling
mode when Remote Engine Start is acti-
vated depending on outside and cabin
temperatures. During this period, the cli-
mate control display and buttons will be
inoperable until the ignition switch is
turned on. In Remote Engine Start defrost-
ing mode, the rear window defroster and
heated steering wheel (if so equipped) may
be activated automatically.
Voice Recognition logic (if so
equipped)
When the climate control system is on, the
front and rear fan speeds may be auto-
matically lowered so that commands are
more easily recognized. Fan speed can be
adjusted using the fan speed decrease and
increase buttons, if desired.
MANUAL OPERATION
Fan speed control dial
Turn thefan speed control dial to
manually control the fan speed.
Press the AUTO button to return to auto-
matic control of the fan speed.
Temperature control dial
The temperature control dial allows you to
adjust the temperature of the outlet air. To
lower the temperature, turn the dial to the
lef t. To increase the temperature, turn the
dial to the right. Temperature can be ad-
justed on the driver’s and passenger’s side.
Air recirculation

recirculate interior air inside the vehicle.
The
indicator light on the button will
come on.
The air recirculation cannot be activated
when the air conditioner is in the
front defrosting mode.
When the outside temperature exceeds
70°F (21°C), the air conditioning system may
default to air recirculation mode automati-
cally to reduce overall power consumption.
To exit air recirculation mode, deselect the
air recirculation button (indicator will turn
off ) to enter fresh air mode.
Automatic intake air control
In the AUTO mode, the intake air will be
controlled automatically. To manually con-
trol the intake air, press the
air recir-
culation button. To return to the automatic
control mode, press and hold the
air
recirculation button for about 2 seconds.
The indicator light will flash twice, and then
the intake air will be controlled automati-
cally.

ger, and rear (if rear climate is on) tem-
peratures.
∙ The fan speed control dial will control the front and rear climate fan speeds.
∙ The front AUTO (automatic) climate control ON-OFF button will activate the
front and rear climate automatic set-
tings.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top
driver’s side of the instrument panel, helps
the system maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.∙ When the climate system is in auto-
matic operation and the engine coolant
temperature and outside air tempera-
ture are low, the air flow outlet may de-
fault to defroster mode for a maximum
of 2 minutes 30 seconds. This is not a
malfunction. Af ter the engine coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow out-
let will return to foot mode and opera-
tion will continue normally.
∙ When the outside and interior cabin temperatures are moderate to high, the
intake setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may oc-
cur when the previous climate setting
was turned off. This is not a malfunction.
Af ter the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
the air flow outlet will return to previous
settings, and operation will continue
normally. To exit, press any climate con-
trol button. ∙ Keep the moonroof (if so equipped)
closed while the air conditioner is in op-
eration.
∙ If you feel that the air flow mode you have selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select
the
mode.
∙ When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the foot out-
lets for just a moment. This is not a
malfunction.
