AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

E141422

AUTO: Press to switch on automatic operation. Adjust to select the desired
temperature. Fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and outside
or recirculated air are automatically adjusted to heat or cool the vehicle to
maintain the desired temperature. You can also switch off dual zone mode by
pressing and holding for more than two seconds.

A

Fan speed control: Adjust the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.

B

Power: Press to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it
prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

C

MAX Defrost: Press to switch on defrost. Outside air flows through the
windshield vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and fan automatically
adjusts to the highest speed. You can also use this setting to defrost and clear
the windshield of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window also
automatically turns on when you select maximum defrost.

D

Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.

MAX A/C: Press for maximum cooling. Recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on, and the fan
automatically adjusts to the highest speed.

E

Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and recirculated air. The
air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This can reduce the
time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering your
vehicle.

F

Note: Recirculated air may also turn on and off automatically in instrument
panel or instrument panel and floor airflow modes during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.

Air distribution control: Adjust to turn airflow from the windshield, instrument
panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through the following
combinations: windshield, windshield/floor, panel, panel/floor, and floor.

G

A/C: Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning cools your
vehicle using outside air. To improve the time to reach a comfortable
temperature in hot weather, drive with the windows open until you feel cold air
through the air vents.

H

Note: In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even though the air conditioning is
switched off.

Temperature Control

E133115

You can set the temperature between 61°F
(16°C) and 86°F (30°C) in steps of 1°F
(0.5°C). In position LO, 59°F (15°C), the
system switches to permanent cooling. In
position HI, 86°F (30°C), the system
switches to permanent heating.

Single Zone Temperature Control

In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver's side and passenger's side. If you
adjust the setting using the rotary control
on the driver’s side, the system adjusts the
temperature to the same setting on the
passenger’s side.

Dual Zone Temperature Control

Select a temperature for the passenger’s
side using the rotary control on the
passenger’s side. Single zone temperature
control automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver’s side remains
unchanged. You can now adjust the
driver's side and passenger's side
temperatures independently. The display
shows the temperature settings for each
side.

Switching Back to Single Zone
Temperature Control

Press and hold the AUTO button. The
passenger side temperature is adjusted to
the driver side temperature setting.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

WARNING

Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up. If the
windows fog up, follow the settings

for demisting the windshield.

Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.

Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

In mild weather, you can improve your fuel
economy when using the climate control
system by using outside air instead of air
conditioning:
•

Turn the temperature control knob(s)
so the interior temperature is set to
59°F (15°C).

•

Set the air distribution to panel or floor
(or both).

•

Press A/C to turn the air conditioning
off.

•

Press the recirculated air button so
fresh air enters the vehicle.

•

Press the fan button until the fan is at
its lowest setting.

Automatic Climate Control

Note:  Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary.  The system automatically
adjusts to heat or cool the interior to your
selected temperature as quickly as possible.
For the system to function efficiently, the
instrument panel and side air vents should
be fully open.

Note: If you select AUTO during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
airflow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.

Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.
