setting will turn off automatically after
approximately 60 minutes.
NOTE:
The timing may vary based on environmental
temperature.
The engine must be running for the heated
seats to operate.
For information on use with the Remote Start
system, see Ú page 20.
WARNING!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving could
result in loss of control which could cause a
collision and serious injury or death.
Seats should be adjusted before fastening the
seat belts and while the vehicle is parked.
Serious injury or death could result from a
poorly adjusted seat belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that
the shoulder belt is no longer resting against
your chest. In a collision you could slide under
the seat belt, which could result in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under a power seat or
impede its ability to move as it may cause
damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may
become limited if movement is stopped by an
obstruction in the seat’s path.

the temperature, air flow, and direction of air
circulating throughout the vehicle. The controls are
located on the touchscreen (if equipped) and on
the instrument panel below the radio.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

ESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Automatic Climate Controls

MAX A/C Setting
MAX A/C sets the system for maximum
cooling performance. Rotate the driver
temperature control adjust knob
counterclockwise for MAX A/C. Both
driver and passenger temperature displays will
show MAX A/C LO. In MAX A/C, the blower speed
and mode position can be adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings will cause the
MAX A/C operation to switch to the selected setting
and MAX A/C to exit.
A/C Button
Push the A/C Control button to change
the current setting. The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on. Pushing the
AUTO control button will cause the A/C
operation to change to AUTO mode and the A/C
indicator will turn off.
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air conditioning
system is turned on, cool dehumidified air will flow
through the outlets into the cabin. For improved
fuel economy, press the A/C button to turn off the
air conditioning and manually adjust the blower
and airflow mode settings. Also, make sure to
select only Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor modes.
NOTE:If your air conditioning performance 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. Clean with a gentle
water spray from the front of the radiator and
through the condenser.
SYNC Button
Push the Sync button to toggle the Sync
feature on/off. The Sync indicator
illuminates when Sync is on. Sync
synchronizes the passenger temperature
setting with the driver temperature setting.
Changing the passenger temperature setting while
in Sync mode will automatically exit this feature
and return to the separate management of air
temperatures in the two zones.
Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to change
the system between Recirculation mode
and outside air mode. The Recirculation
indicator illuminates when Recirculation
is on. Recirculation can be used when outside
conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high
humidity are present. Recirculation can be used in
all modes. Recirculation may be unavailable if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield. Continuous use of the
Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy
and window fogging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended. Recirculation
mode may automatically adjust to optimize
customer experience for warming, cooling,
dehumidification, etc.

Blower Control Knob
Blower Control is used to regulate the
amount of air forced through the Climate
Control system. Adjusting the blower will
cause automatic mode to switch to
manual operation. The speeds can be selected by
rotating the Blower Control adjustment knob.
Mode Control
Select Mode by pressing one of the Mode
buttons to change the airflow distribution
mode. The airflow distribution mode can
be adjusted so air comes from the
instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost
outlets and demist outlets.
Front Defrost Button

faceplate to change the current airflow
setting to Defrost mode. The Front
Defrost indicator illuminates when Front
Defrost is on. Air comes from the windshield and
side window demist outlets. When the defrost
button is selected, the blower level may increase.
Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side window
defrosting and defogging. When toggling the front
defrost mode button, the Climate Control system
will return to the previous setting.
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. 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.

amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.

both the Panel Mode button and the
Floor Mode button, activating them both.
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 condi -
tions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets
and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Mix Mode
Mix Mode is obtained by pressing both
the Windshield Mode button and the
Floor Mode button, activating them both.
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.
Hi-Level Mode
Hi-Level Mode is obtained by pushing the
Defrost Mode button and the Panel Mode
button. Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets and the defrost outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed through the side
window demister outlets.
