conditioning systems and the rear window
defogger from outside the vehicle.
Use remote start to heat or cool the interior
when the vehicle is plugged in to maximize
electric range by utilizing electricity from
the electrical outlet. Normal system
operation will return after the vehicle has
been turned on.

Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls the fan
speed, air delivery, air conditioning, and
recirculation to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature.

176 Climate Controls
When AUTO is selected, all four functions
operate automatically. Each function can
also be manually set and the selected
setting is displayed. Functions not manually
set will continue to be automatically
controlled, even if the AUTO indicator is not
lit. When enabled, the climate controls will
remain in auto mode through power cycles.
For automatic operation:1. Touch AUTO.
2. Set the temperature. Allow the system time to stabilize. Adjust the temperature
as needed for best comfort.
To improve efficiency and to cool the vehicle
faster, recirculation may be automatically
selected in warm weather.
Manual Operation
9: Press up or down to increase or
decrease fan speed. Toggle all the way
down to turn the fan off. When off is
selected, a small amount of air may still
come out of the outlets depending on the
vehicle’s speed. If any buttons are pressed,
the climate control system will turn on and
operate at the current setting.
Touch AUTO to return to automatic
operation. Driver and Passenger Temperature Control :
The temperature can be adjusted separately
for the driver and passenger.
SYNC :
Touch to link the passenger
temperature setting to the driver setting.
Air Delivery Mode Control : Touch to change
the direction of the airflow. Any
combination of
z,Y, or[can be
selected.
Changing the mode cancels the automatic
operation and the system goes into manual
mode. Touch AUTO to return to automatic
operation.
z: Air is directed to the windshield,
outboard A/C outlets, and side window
outlets.
Y: Air is directed to the A/C outlets.
[:Air is directed to the floor outlets,
with some air directed to the windshield,
outboard A/C outlets, and side window
outlets.
0 5MAX : Air is directed to the
windshield and the fan runs at a higher
speed if not already above a medium fan
speed. This mode overrides the previous
mode selected and clears fog or frost from the windshield quickly. When the control is
pressed again, the system returns to the
previous mode setting and fan speed.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from
the windshield before defrosting.
@:
Touch to turn on recirculation. An
indicator light comes on. Air is recirculated
to quickly cool the interior of the vehicle.
It can also be used to help reduce outside
air and odors that enter the vehicle.
Avoid using recirculation for long periods of
time in cold or damp conditions. Using
recirculation in cold or damp conditions can
result in window fogging.
A/C : Press to turn the air conditioning on
or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the air conditioning is enabled. If the
fan is turned off, the air conditioner will
not run.
Heat : Press to turn the heater on or off.
The air conditioning compressor is used to
provide heat to the cabin and may run
when heat is enabled.

needed.
Service
All vehicles have a label underhood that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system requires periodic
maintenance. See Maintenance Schedule
0 389.

Driving Information
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency
Use the following tips to help maximize
energy efficiency and driving range.
The Energy Usage card available on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) estimates
the influence of the main factors impacting
vehicle range. It displays how energy is
being used for the current drive
as percentages of overall vehicle energy use.
See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level) 0129 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130 and
Vehicle Status 0132.
Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid rapid accelerations and decelerations.
Driving range is maximized at 89 km/h
(55 mph) and less.
Use cruise control when appropriate.
Using the steering wheel paddle during
deceleration recovers more energy. See
Regenerative Braking 0206. Terrain and Vehicle Speed
Plan ahead for decelerations and coast
whenever possible. Do not rush to traffic
signals. Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.
Higher speeds and grade changes use more
energy and can significantly reduce driving
range.
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air conditioning systems
decreases the energy available for electric
driving.
Optimal energy efficiency is achieved when
the heat, air conditioning, and fan are
turned off.
Use the heated seat features instead of
climate control system. Heating the seat
uses less energy than heating and cooling
the interior.
Use remote start to heat or cool the interior
when the vehicle is plugged in to maximize
the driving range by using electricity from
the electrical outlet.
In hot weather, avoid parking in direct
sunlight or use sunshades inside the vehicle.
