Getting to Know Your VUE
12
Climate Controls
Your VUE has a climate control system
that is intuitive and easy to use.
The large knob on the left controls the
interior air temperature. The center knob
operates the fan, and the large knob on
the right controls the direction of the air-
flow. This knob provides five air direction
settings, but you can also blend the flow
of air by positioning the knob between
the settings.
Press this button to activate your air
conditioning system. When the system
is on, an indicator light above the button
will illuminate.
Use this control to turn your rear
defogger on or off. When the system is
on, an indicator light above the button
will illuminate. The defogger shuts off
automatically after a set period of time.
Press this button when you want to
recirculate air in your vehicle instead of
using outside air. In this mode, the air
cools more quickly and prevents outside
odors from entering your vehicle.
Preventing Window Fogging
To help keep your windows fog-free,
place your climate control system’s
mode knob between the Heater ( )
and Defrost ( ) modes. In cold
weather, glass fogging may be reduced
by slightly opening a window to allow
moisture and humidity to escape from
the passenger cabin.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Windshield Wipers and Washer
The windshield wipers on your VUE are
controlled by a single lever located on
the right side of your steering column.
The lever operates both the front wind-
shield wipers and washer and the rear
wiper and washer.
The front wiper/washer system provides
you with these five settings:
MIST (Mist): Pull the lever down and
release it for a single wiping cycle. For
additional cycles, hold the lever down
before releasing it.
OFF (Off): Move the lever to this posi-
tion to turn off your wipers.
INT (Intermittent): Place the lever in this
position to set a delay between wipes.
The Intermittent position allows you to
choose the amount of time between
wipes by rotating the dial marked with
the large arrow (see “A” above) to one
of the following settings:
1 — Long delays between wipes.
2 — Medium delays between wipes.
3 — Short delays between wipes.
LO (Low Speed): Move the lever to this
position for slow, steady wiping cycles.
HI (High Speed): Move the lever to this
position for rapid wiping cycles.
