Climate Controls

Climate Mode Operation
There are three climate mode
settings: MIN, ECO, and MAX.
These settings adjust the impact the
climate control system has on the
vehicle's electric range or fuel
economy.
To select a climate mode:
1. Press CLIMATE on the center
stack.
2. Press the climate mode button
on the touch screen. The climate
mode will be lit.
MIN (Fan Only Mode):
The air
conditioning and electric heat are
turned off. As long as
0
is not
selected, the climate control settings
may not have a noticeable effect on
the vehicle electric range and fuel
economy.
When in MIN mode, the AUTO
indicator light will be off. When
AUTO is selected in MIN mode, the
mode will change to either ECO
or MAX.
When in MIN mode, the air
conditioning system may turn on
automatically if the high voltage
battery is being cooled. The climate
control system could blow cold air.
This is normal. To prevent cold air
from blowing into the interior, turn off
the fan control and select the vent
mode and manual recirculation
mode, and close the air vents.
When in MIN mode, if Auto Defog is
enabled, the air conditioning and
electric heat may turn on when high
humidity conditions exist. See
“
Climate and Air Quality
”
under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-52
for more information on
the Auto Defog selection. The air
conditioning may also run if
0
is
selected.
ECO (Economy Mode):
The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to balance comfort with
fuel economy. As long as
0
is not
selected, the vehicle electric range
or fuel economy will decrease less
than in MAX mode, but will result in
moderate comfort.
MAX (Comfort Mode):
The air
conditioning and electric heat are
controlled to reach the best comfort
level based on the temperature
setting selected. In this mode,
vehicle electric range or fuel
economy will decrease depending
on the amount of energy required to
reach the best comfort levels.
Climate Power Gauge
When the climate mode is changed,
the Climate Power gauge displays
the impact that user setting changes
have on energy consumption. The
higher the reading, the more energy
is being used.
Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls
the fan speed, air delivery, air
conditioning, and recirculation in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature.
