Heated Rear Window

Note: You must switch the ignition on to
use this feature.

Press the button to clear the rear window
of thin ice and fog. Press the button again
within 10 minutes to switch it off. It
switches off automatically after 10

Heated Exterior Mirror

(If Equipped)

Note: Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to readjust the
mirror glass that has frozen in place. These
actions could cause damage to the glass
and mirrors.

Note: Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel or other
petroleum-based cleaning products.

The heated mirrors remove ice, mist and
fog when you switch on the heated rear
window.

CABIN AIR FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air
filter. It is located behind the glove box.

The particulate filtration system reduces
the concentration of airborne particles
such as dust, spores and pollen in the air
supplied to the interior of your vehicle.

Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter
installed at all times. This prevents foreign
objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system.

The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:

•

It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.

•

It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.

•

It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.

Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 426).

For additional cabin air filter information,
or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.

REMOTE START

(IF EQUIPPED)

The climate control system adjusts the
cabin temperature during remote start.

You cannot adjust the system during
remote start operation. Turn the ignition
on to return the system to its previous
settings. You can now make adjustments.
You need to turn certain
vehicle-dependent features back on, such
as:

•

heated seats

•

heated mirrors

•

heated rear window.

You can adjust the settings using the
information display controls. See
Information Displays (page 85).

Automatic Settings

You can set the climate control to operate
in AUTO mode through the information
display setting: Remote Start > Climate
Control > Heater-A/C > Auto. The climate
control system automatically sets the
interior temperature to 72°F (22°C).

In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C).

In moderate weather, the system either
heats or cools (based on previous
settings). The rear defroster, heated
mirrors and heated seats do not
automatically turn on.

In cold weather, the system is set to 72°F
(22°C). The heated seats are set to high
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information display). The rear defroster
and heated mirrors automatically turn on.

Climate Control

Last Settings

You can set the climate control to operate
using the last climate control settings
through the information display setting:
Remote Start > Climate Control >
Heater–A/C > Last Settings. The climate
control system automatically uses the
settings last selected before you turned
off the engine.

Heated and Cooled Devices

The climate control system controls other
heated and cooled devices inside the
vehicle. You can switch these devices on
(if available, and selected to AUTO in the
information displays) during remote start.
Heated devices usually switch on during
cold weather, and cooled devices during
hot weather.
