Passenger temperature control: Allows the passenger to set their
temperature independent of the driver temperature. Press + or - to increase or
decrease the air temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle when in dual
zone mode.

Fan speed control: Press the small fan icon or large fan icon to decrease or
increase the volume of air circulated in your vehicle.

Driver temperature control: Press + or - to increase or decrease the air
temperature inside the vehicle. This control also adjusts the passenger side
temperature when dual zone operation is disengaged.

MAX Defrost: Press to switch on. The system distributes outside air through
the windshield air vents, the air conditioning automatically turns on, and the
fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed. When MAX defrost is on,
recirculated air cannot be selected (to prevent fogging). The heated rear window
is automatically switched on when MAX defrost is selected.

Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated
Windows and Mirrors (page 126).

Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and de-mister
vents. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin
covering of ice.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE

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.

Manual Climate Control

Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.

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 cabin 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: At low ambient temperatures with
AUTO selected, the system directs airflow
to the windshield and side window vents
and fan may run at a slow speed until the
engine warms up.
