If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes
its normal automatic operation.

NOTE:

Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the
wiper switch or place the ignition in the OFF
position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
while it is active, the windshield wiper oper-
ates intermittently at a speed consistent with
the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor,
whether or not there is rain on the glass for as
long as the sensor failure is indicated on the
display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is
possible to set the windshield wiper to contin -
uous mode (1 or 2). The failure indication
remains on for as long as the sensor is active. The rain sensor is able to recognize and auto
-
matically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled surface
(e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused by the
worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Push the windshield wiper lever downward to
activate/deactivate continuous rear wiper
operation.
Push the windshield wiper lever towards the
instrument panel to activate the rear window
washer (a brief push activates one washing
cycle, keeping the stalk pushed washes
continuously until the stalk is released).
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with the
windshield wiper operating activates a single
cycle of the rear window wiper.
Headlamp Washers — If Equipped
The windshield wiper lever operates the head -
light washers when the ignition is in the ON
position and the headlights are turned on. To
use the headlight washers, pull the lever
toward you and release it. The headlight
washers will spray a timed high-pressure spray
of washer fluid onto each headlight lens. In
addition, the windshield washers will spray the
windshield and the windshield wipers will
cycle.

NOTE:

The headlight washers work on every tenth
wash cycle request.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regu -
late the temperature, air flow, and direction of
air circulating throughout the vehicle. The
controls are located on the touchscreen and
on the instrument panel below the radio.
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 48

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

52

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.
Air Recirculation And Air Quality System (AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is illumi -
nated above the “A” on the Air Recirculation
Button
Forced activation (air circulation always
activated): indicator illuminated above the
icon on the Air Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off with intake of outside air): both
indicators not illuminated on the Air Recir-
culation Button
The three operating conditions are obtained by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button in
sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Func -
tion — If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation function is
selected, the AQS function automatically acti -
vates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels). At low external temperatures or in high
humidity, the automatic function turns off to
avoid fogging up the windows. The user can
select the function again by pushing the Air
Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.

NOTE:

With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake
to cycle the air in the passenger compart
-
ment for a set time. The AQS function is
disabled during the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. It is,
however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it can increase the possibility of the
windows fogging. When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is forced
off to prevent the windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost
Air comes from the windshield and
side window demist outlets. Use
Defrost mode with maximum
temperature settings for best wind -
shield and side window defrosting and defog -
ging.
Rear Defrost
Push the Rear Defrost button to acti -
vate (indicators illuminated) the
Rear Defroster.
The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes
or once the engine is turned off.

NOTE:

To avoid damage, do not apply stickers over
the interior heating filaments of the Rear
Defroster.
Front Defrost And MAX-DEF Function
Push the MAX-DEF button (indicator
illuminated) to defrost the wind -
shield and side windows.
While in MAX-DEF function, the air conditioner
will:
Activate the air conditioner compressor
when the weather allows
Turn air recirculation off
Set the maximum air temperature (HI) on
both the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield
and front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defrost
Display the fan speed (indicators illumi -
nated) and current air distribution setting
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 52

53

NOTE:

The MAX-DEF function remains active for
approximately three minutes once the engine
coolant reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will deac-
tivate. The only manual operations possible
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost.
Pushing the button switches off the
MAX-DEF function.
Air Temperature Adjustment
Rotate the driver or passenger Temperature
Adjustment Knob clockwise for warmer
temperatures or counterclockwise for cooler
temperatures. The set temperatures are
shown on the radio system.
Push the SYNC button to sync the driver and
passenger air temperatures.
Rotate the passenger Temperature Adjust -
ment Knob to cancel the SYNC function. This
will set a new passenger side temperature.
Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob fully
clockwise to engage the HI (maximum heating)
setting or fully counterclockwise to engage the
LO (maximum cooling) setting. To deactivate
these functions, rotate the Temperature
Adjustment Knob to the desired temperature.
Rear passengers’ temperature is linked to
driver side selection.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pushed (indicator
illuminated), the Climate Control system auto -
matically adjusts the following settings:
Quantity and distribution of air flow in the
passenger compartment
The air conditioner
Air recirculation
Cancels any manual settings
Selecting the AUTO function illuminates the
indicator on the A/C button.
If air distribution or the fan speed is manually
adjusted, the AUTO button indicator will turn
off to indicate that the Climate Control system
is no longer in AUTO mode.
After a manual adjustment, push the AUTO
button to resume the automatic system.
SYNC Button
Push the SYNC button (indicator illuminated)
to sync the passenger side air temperature
with the driver side air temperature.
This function makes temperature regulation
easier when the driver is traveling alone.
Turn the passenger Temperature Adjustment
Knob or push the passenger side Air Distribu-
tion Selection Button to change the passenger
side air temperature and return to separate air
temperature management.
Blower Speed
Turn the Blower Speed Knob to increase or
decrease the blower speed. The speed is
displayed with lighted indicators in the radio
system display.
Maximum fan speed = all indicators illumi -
nated on the radio system display
Minimum fan speed = one indicator illumi -
nated on the radio system display
The fan can be turned off by rotating the
Blower Speed Knob counterclockwise to the
off position (all segments on the radio system
display are turned off).

NOTE:

To restore automatic control of the fan speed,
push the AUTO button.
Air Distribution Selection
Push the Air Distribution Selection button on
the faceplate to change the mode of air distri -
bution.

NOTE:

In AUTO mode, the Climate Controls automati -
cally manage the air distribution. When set
manually, the respective symbols on the radio
system indicate the air distribution setting.
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
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 53

54

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/
