Note: Depending on your vehicle option package, the controls may look different from what you see here.
Directing the Airflow
Press and release the button to direct airflow to the windshield air vents and de-mister.
Press and release the button to direct airflow to the instrument panel air vents.
Press and release the button to direct airflow to the footwell air vents.
You can direct air through any combination of these air vents.
Setting the Blower Motor Speed
Turn the control to adjust the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
Setting the Temperature
Turn the control to set the temperature.
Switching the Air Conditioning On and Off
Press and release the button.
Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
Note: In certain conditions, for example, maximum defrost, the air conditioning compressor may continue to operate even though you switch off the air conditioning.
Switching the Climate Control On and Off
Press and release the button.
Switching Maximum Air Conditioning On and Off
Turn the temperature control counterclockwise to the lowest setting for maximum cooling.
Switching Maximum Defrost On and Off
Turn the temperature control clockwise to the highest setting for maximum defrosting.
You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when maximum defrost is on.
Switching Recirculated Air On and Off
Press and release the button 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.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off, or prevent you from switching it on, in all air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off in various air distribution control combinations during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE — VEHICLES WITH: AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up.
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.
Automatic Climate Control
Note: Adjusting the settings when your vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not necessary. Automatic mode is best recommended to maintain set temperature.
Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the interior to the temperature you select as quickly as possible.
Note: 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 air flow to the windshield and side window air vents. In addition, the blower motor may run at a slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note: If you select AUTO during hot temperatures and the inside of the vehicle is hot, the system uses recirculated air to maximize interior cooling. Blower motor speed may also reduce until the air cools.
Quickly Heating the Interior
- Press and release AUTO.
- Adjust the temperature function to the setting you prefer.
Recommended Settings for Heating
- Press and release AUTO.
- Adjust the temperature function to the setting you Use 72°F (22°C) as a starting point, then adjust the setting as necessary.
Quickly Cooling the Interior

CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter, which gives you and your passengers the following benefits:
- It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle
- It improves the interior compartment
- It protects the climate control components from particle
You can locate the cabin air filter behind the glove box.
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.
Replace the filter at regular intervals.
For additional cabin air filter information, or to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
REMOTE START (IF EQUIPPED)
You can switch this feature on or off and adjust the settings using the information display controls.
See Information Displays .
The climate control system adjusts the interior temperature during remote start.
You cannot adjust the climate control setting during remote start operation. Switch the ignition on to make adjustments.
Based on your remote start settings, the following vehicle-dependent features may or may not remain on after remote starting your vehicle:
- Climate controlled
- Heated steering
- Heated
- Heated rear
- Windshield wiper de-icer.
Note: For dual zone climate controlled seats, the passenger seat setting defaults to match the driver seat during remote start.
