Power
Press to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.
Driver Temperature Control
Adjusts the temperature setting on the driver side. This control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when you switch off dual zone mode.
MAX Defrost
Press to switch on defrost. The driver and passenger settings set to HI, air flows through the windshield vents, and the fan adjusts to the highest speed. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window also turns on when you select maximum defrost.
Note:   To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when maximum defrost is on.
Air Distribution Control
Press to switch air flow from the windshield, instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any combination of these vents.
Note:   At least one of these buttons remain on when the system 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 turns on and the fan adjusts to the highest speed.
Passenger Temperature Control
Adjusts the temperature setting on the passenger side.
A/C
Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use A/C 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.
Heated Seats
Press to switch the heated seats on and off.   See   Heated Seats
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.
Note:   Recirculated air may turn off, or prevent you from switching on, in all air flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on and off in Panel or Panel/Floor air flow modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
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 adjust 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.
Automatic Fan Settings
The AUTO button illuminates for the following fan settings:
  • When three indicators are on, the fan adjusts to the highest speed to reach the selected temperature as quickly as possible.
  • When two indicators are on, the fan adjusts to a medium speed to reach the selected temperature with a reduced amount of cabin noise.
  • When one indicator is on, the fan adjusts to the lowest speed to reach the selected temperature with the least amount of cabin noise.
Note:   The system starts at the previous fan setting when you switch on AUTO.
Ventilated Seats
Press to switch the ventilated seats on and off.   See   Seats
Fan Speed Control
Adjusts the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
Heated Rear Window
Press to switch the heated rear window on and off.   See   Heated Windows and Mirrors
Heated Steering Wheel (If Equipped)
Press to switch the heated steering wheel on and off.   See   Heated Steering Wheel
DUAL (If Equipped)
Press to switch on temperature control for the passenger side of the vehicle. When dual zone is off, passenger temperature settings remain the same as the driver settings.
