This is the climate control panel for your vehicle. Press the CLIMATE button on the control panel to switch the lower touch screen display to the climate control system.
The AUTO mode may be used all year round. The system automatically regulates and maintains fan speed, airflow and temperature in the cabin. To turn the system ON, press the AUTO button. The indicator light turns ON when the system is activated.
Changing the fan speed or air flow mode turns off the AUTO function and switches the system to manual control. To reactivate automatic control, press the AUTO button.
Your vehicle has separate temperature control buttons for the driver and front seat passenger. Press this button to set a lower temperature or this button to set a warmer temperature.
If you use the passenger’s side temperature control buttons, the passenger’s side temperature will be adjusted independently of the driver’s side and the DUAL control indicator light will illuminate.
If the DUAL mode is not active, the driver’s temperature control buttons set the temperature for both the driver and passenger.
Press this button to choose from the available airflow modes:
• Air will flow from center and side vents
• Air will flow from center and side vents and foot outlets
• Air will flow mainly from foot outlets
• Air will flow from the defroster and foot outlets
The selected air flow mode is displayed on the screen.
Touch the A/C key on the screen to turn the air conditioning ON or OFF. The A/C indicator light on the lower touch screen display will turn on or off.
Intake air control is automatically regulated in AUTO mode. Press this button to manually alternate between recirculating inside air and drawing outside air into the cabin. The indicator light on the button illuminates when the air recirculation mode is selected.
The air recirculation mode increases air conditioning efficiency and helps block outside odors from entering the cabin.
To return to automatic control of the air intake mode, touch the AUTO RECIRC key on the screen.
Use the fan speed control buttons to adjust the fan speed. Press the button with the larger fan icon to increase fan speed. Press the button with the smaller fan icon to decrease fan speed.
To defrost or defog the front and side windows, press the DEFROST switch. The indicator light will illuminate. Airflow will be directed to the front and side windows.
In the DEFROST mode, the Air Conditioner activates automatically at temperatures above 23 degrees and the air recirculation mode automatically turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn into the passenger compartment to improve the defogging and deicing performance. For windshield deicing, the temperature should be set to maximum heat and the fan speed set to the high setting.
To defrost or defog the rear window and the outside mirrors, push the REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER switch. The indicator light will illuminate. After defrosting, push the switch again to turn OFF. If not turned OFF manually, this feature will automatically deactivate after approximately 15 minutes.
There are temperature sensors located on the lower instrument panel and on top of the dashboard near the windshield that help regulate the automatic climate control settings. Do not put anything on or around these sensors.
To turn the entire climate control system OFF, press the ON/OFF button.
