Note:
Recirculated air may turn off automatically (or be prevented from turning
on) in all airflow modes except
MAX A/C
to reduce risk of fogging. Recirculated
air may also turn on and off automatically in
Panel
or
Panel and Floor
airflow
modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
Heated rear window:
Press the button to switch the heated rear window on
and off. See
Heated Windows and Mirrors

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.
Note:
To improve the time to reach comfort
in hot weather, drive with the windows fully
open until you feel cold air through the air
vents.
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:
If you select
AUTO
during cold
outside temperatures, the system directs
airflow to the windshield and side window
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a
slower speed until the engine warms up.
Note:
If you select
AUTO
during hot outside
temperatures, or when the inside of the
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.
When the interior reaches the selected
temperature, the system automatically
switches to using outside air.
