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’s temperature setting while in SYNC will
automatically exit this feature.
NOTE:The SYNC button is only available on the touchscreen.
Blower Control
Blower Control regulates the amount of air
forced through the Climate Control system.
Adjusting the blower will cause automatic
mode to switch to manual operation. There are
seven blower speeds available. The speeds can be
selected using either the blower control knob on the
faceplate or the buttons on the touchscreen.
 Faceplate: The blower speed increases as you turn the
blower control knob clockwise from the lowest blower
setting. The blower speed decreases as you turn the
blower control knob counterclockwise.
 Touchscreen: Use the small blower icon to reduce the
blower setting and the large blower icon to increase the
blower setting. The blower can also be selected by
pressing the blower bar area between the icons.
Mode Control
Select one of the Mode buttons on the
touchscreen or press the Mode button on the
faceplate to adjust the airflow distribution. The
airflow distribution can be adjusted so air
comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets,
defrost outlets, and demist outlets.
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.
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.
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.
Climate Control OFF Button
Press and release the OFF button on the
touchscreen, or push the OFF button on the
faceplate to turn the Climate Control ON/OFF.
