1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position,without starting the engine.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the HomeLink® Indicator light
begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with
Step 2 in “Programming HomeLink® To A
Garage Door Opener” and follow all
remaining steps.
Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
The programming of transmitters in Canada/
United States require the transmitter signals
to “time-out” after several seconds of trans -
mission.
Canadian radio frequency laws require trans -
mitter signals to time-out (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to time-out in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during
the cycling process to prevent possible over -
heating of the garage door or gate motor. 1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to
3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink® indicator
light in view.
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button, while you press and
release (cycle) your hand-held transmitter
every two seconds until HomeLink® has
successfully accepted the frequency
signal. The indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly when fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is
programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds or longer in rare cases. The
garage door may open and close while you
are programming.

5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE:

If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and the garage
door/device should activate when the
HomeLink® button is pressed.
To program the two remaining HomeLink®
buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the chan
-
nels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/
device for programming, plug it back in at this
time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previ -
ously trained, follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the indicator light begins to
flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the
button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/Gate Operator Programming”
step 2 and follow all remaining steps.

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control
System adjusts the temperature and air distri-
bution independently between the driver and
passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature
inside the passenger compartment and
compensates for outside temperature change.

NOTE:

The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following
to maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front
passenger side vents

Fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)

Compressor variations (for cooling/dehu -
midifying the air)
Air recirculation The Climate Control System can also be oper
-
ated manually by using the buttons and knobs
on the faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO
button is pushed. If the system intervenes for
safety reasons, the automatic setting will take
control of the system.
The below operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation

Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation

When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver
and passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defrost
Air recirculation
Rear Defrost
System deactivation
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator illu-
minated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has
stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light
will not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the AUTO
button. With the A/C compressor off, the air
speed can be set manually using the Air Speed
Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the
engine is running, air speed cannot be lower
than the minimum speed (only one indicator
light is lit).

NOTE:

When the A/C is off, the Climate Control
system can not produce air that is colder than
the current outside temperature. Under
certain environmental conditions, windows
could fog up rapidly, since the air is not dehu -
midified. CAUTION!

The system uses R1234yf refrigerant, which
does not pollute the environment in the event of
accidental leakage. Under no circumstances, use
R134a and R12 fluids, which are incompatible
with the components of this system.

Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel to ventilate the
chest and face. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct
the flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located
below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.

NOTE:

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort
conditions to provide cooler air out of the
panel outlets and warmer air from the floor
outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets. This setting heats
the passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor,
defrost, and side window demister
outlets. This setting works best in
cold or snowy conditions that require
extra heat to the windshield. This setting is
good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air flow is distributed between the
windshield demisting/defrosting
vents and side/central dashboard
vents. This setting allows air to flow
to the windshield on sunny days.
Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode
Air flow is distributed to all vents.
Switching The Climate Control System On/Off
To Turn Off The Climate Control System
Rotate the Air Speed Adjustment Knob
completely counterclockwise to turn off the
Climate Control System.
With the air conditioner is off:
Air recirculation is on
The A/C compressor is off
The fan is off
The heated rear window can be activated/
deactivated
NOTE:

The climate control system stores the previ
-
ously set temperatures and resumes opera -
tion when any button on the system is pushed.
To Turn On The Climate Control System
To switch the climate control system on in
automatic mode, push the AUTO button.
Operating Mode
The Climate Control system can be activated
in different ways. It is recommended to use the
automatic function. Push the AUTO button and
set the desired temperatures.
The automatic system adjusts the tempera -
ture, quantity, and distribution of air intro -
duced into the passenger compartment. It
also controls air recirculation and the activa -
tion of the air conditioner.
At any time during automatic operation, you
can change the temperature, activate or deac -
tivate the Rear Defrost, activate SYNC, acti -
vate or deactivate the air conditioner, and
activate or deactivate air recirculation. The
system will automatically adjust to the new
settings.
Climate Control Display Settings
The Climate Control settings are visible on the
radio screen.
The display on the radio system is a pop up
window, which is activated by pushing the
buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate
Control system. The indicator lights located on
21_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 54

55

the number of buttons and knobs indicate that
the selected feature is on/off. If no operation
is performed for a predetermined time, the
pop-up will close on the display.
Humidity Sensor
The Humidity Sensor helps prevent the
windows from fogging up. The AUTO function
(indicator illuminated) must be on for the
Humidity Sensor to function.
When outside temperature is low, the system
may turn the compressor on and turn air recir-
culation off for safer driving.
Stop/Start
The Stop/Start system shuts off the engine
when the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as
a fuel conservation measure.
In order to maintain comfort in the cabin, the
Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the
following conditions exist:
The climate control system is in AUTO mode
(indicator illuminated), and the vehicle has
yet to reach the set temperature

The climate control system is in LO maximum
cooling
The climate control system is in HI maximum
heating
The climate control system is in the MAX-DEF
status
When the Stop/Start system is active, the
engine will restart if the inside temperature
changes significantly, or if the LO setting, or
MAX-DEF setting, is activated.
With Stop/Start system on (engine is off), air
flow is reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.

Until the temperature drastically changes within
the cabin, the climate control system will
continue to maintain the temperature while the
engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start
system with the button (located by the head
-
light switch), the climate control system operates
normally according to the settings.

NOTE:

In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of
the Stop/Start system to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on
and off. This will prevent rapid misting of the
windows and the accumulation of humidity
in the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on, the
climate control system will always take air in
from outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter months, the Climate Control system
must be turned on at least once a month for
approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.
INTERIOR STORAGE AND
EQUIPMENT
