PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside Air

Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate
control system to function effectively.

Recirculated Air

The air currently in the passenger
compartment recirculates. Outside air does
not enter your vehicle.

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the coolant.

General Information on Controlling
the Interior Climate

Close the windows.

Warming the Interior

Direct the air toward your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some of
the air toward the windshield and the door
windows.

Cooling the Interior

Direct the air toward your face.

Air Conditioning

The system directs condensation to the
outside of your vehicle, which could cause
a small pool of water to form under your
vehicle. This is normal.

Note: The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 39°F (4°C).

Note: When you use air conditioning, your
vehicle uses more fuel.

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL

E211736

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

A

Recirculated air: Press the button 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.

B

Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle.

C

A/C: Press the button to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use air
conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.

D

Air distribution control: Adjust the control to turn airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off.

E

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: Adjusts 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. The driver and passenger settings
set to HI, outside air flows through the windshield vents, 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. The driver and passenger settings set
to LO, 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 may reduce the
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.

F

Note: Recirculated air may turn on and off automatically (or prevent you from
switching on) in all modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging or to
improve cooling efficiency.

Air distribution control: Press to switch airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.

G

A/C: Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning cools your
vehicle using outside air. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve performance
and efficiency.

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
59°F (15°C) and 86°F (30°C). In position
LO, the system switches to permanent
cooling. In position HI, the system switches
to permanent heating.

Note: If you select either position LO or HI,
the system does not regulate a stable
temperature.

Mono Mode

In this mode, the temperature settings for
both the driver side and passenger side are
linked. If you adjust the setting using the
rotary control on the driver side, the system
adjusts the temperature to the same
setting on the passenger side.
