The Rain Sensing system has protection features
for the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate
under the following conditions:
Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition
is first placed in the ON position, the Rain
Sensing system will not operate until the wiper
switch is moved, vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside temperature is
greater than 32°F (0°C).
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the
ignition is in the ON position, and the gear
selector is in NEUTRAL, the Rain Sensing system
will not operate until the wiper switch is moved,
vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h),
or the gear selector is moved out of NEUTRAL.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
multifunction lever on the left side of the steering
column. The rear wiper/washer is operated by
rotating a switch, located at the middle of the lever.
Rear Wiper/Washer Control
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for
continuous rear wiper operation.
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the third detent to activate the
washer. The washer will continue to
operate as long as the switch is held.
Rotate the center portion downward from the OFF
position to activate the rear washer. The washer
will continue to operate as long as the switch is
held.
NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the pump will resume normal
operation. If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate
the temperature, air flow, and direction of air
circulating throughout the vehicle. The controls are
located on the touchscreen and on the instrument

system is turned on, cool dehumidified air will flow
through the outlets into the cabin.
NOTE:If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side
glass, select Defrost mode and increase blower
speed if needed. If your air conditioning perfor -
mance seems lower than expected, check the front
of the A/C condenser (located in front of the
radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.

could create fogging on the inside of the
windshield. The A/C can be deselected manually
without disturbing the mode control selection.
Continuous use of Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode if not recommended.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the front Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) Panel and the
word “AUTO” will illuminate in the front ATC
display, along with two temperatures for the
driver and front passenger. The system will
then automatically regulate the amount of
airflow.
2. Adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain, by adjusting the driver,
passenger, and rear temperatures. Once the
desired temperature is displayed, the system
will achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the
settings. You will experience the greatest
efficiency by simply allowing the system to
function automatically.
NOTE:It is not necessary to move the temperature
settings. The system automatically adjusts the
temperature, mode and fan speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible. To provide you with maximum comfort in the
automatic mode, during cold start-ups, the blower
fan will remain on low until the engine warms up.
The fan will engage immediately if the Defrost
mode is selected, or by changing the front blower
knob setting.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features. The AUTO symbol in the front
ATC display will be turned off when the system is
being used in the manual mode.
NOTE:The system will not automatically sense the
presence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield.
Defrost mode must be manually selected to clear
the windshield and side glass.
CLIMATE VOICE RECOGNITION
Adjust vehicle temperatures hands-free and keep
everyone comfortable while you keep moving
ahead.
Push the VR button on the steering wheel. After the
beep, say one of the following commands:
“Set driver temperature to 70 degrees”
“Set passenger temperature to 70 degrees”
Did you know: Voice Command for Climate may
only be used to adjust the interior temperature of
your vehicle. Voice Command will not work to
adjust the heated seats or steering wheel if
equipped.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE:Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather
conditions.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Automatic
Temperature Control system through an intake
grille, located in the right side trim panel behind
the third row seats. The heater outlets are
located in the right side trim panel, just behind
the passenger second row door. Do not block or
place objects directly in front of the inlet grille or
heater outlets. The electrical system could
overload causing damage to the blower motor.
