9. Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the airflow in the
vehicle.

10.

Passenger heated seat control (if equipped): Press to

activate/deactivate the passenger heated seat. See Heated seats in the
Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.

11.

Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation

in the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages
automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in
any airflow mode except

(defrost). When the ignition switch is

turned off and back on, the climate system will return to the recirculated
air mode only if the A/C button LED is illuminated and the air
distribution selection is either

(panel) or

(panel/floor).

12. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button
again for normal A/C operation.

13. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. A/C
engages automatically in MAX A/C,

(defrost) and

(floor/defrost).

14.

Driver heated seat control (if equipped): Press to

activate/deactivate the driver heated seat. See Heated seats in the
Seating and Safety Restraints chapter.

Operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather,

select

(defrost) or

(floor/defrost).

• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the

system off or with

(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the

airflow to the back seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.

• To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the

windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the
vehicle has been “aired out.”
