fresh air entering the cabin. If the front defrost timer
expires, the vehicle will enter Mix mode.

In ambient temperatures from 40°F (4.5°C) to 78°F
(26°C), the climate settings will be based on the last

monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause
serious injury or death when inhaled.

Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the
Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.
