MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

(IF EQUIPPED)

Temperature conversion: To switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius,

refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.

Defrost: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster

vents and de-mister vents. Can be used to clear the windshield of fog

and thin ice. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce

window fogging. Press this button again to return to the previous air flow

selection.

Rear defroster: Press to activate/deactivate the rear window

defroster. Refer to Rear window defroster later in this chapter for more

information.

Multifunction control: Press repeatedly to cycle through the

settings to choose:

•

: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents, de-mister

vents and floor vents. The system will automatically provide outside

air to reduce window fogging.

•

: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.

•

: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents, floor vents,

and de-mister vents.

•

: Distributes air through the floor vents.

4. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with

recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. A/C

engages automatically in MAX A/C,

(defrost) and

(floor/defrost).

5. Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation in

the vehicle. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time needed to

cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired

odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages

automatically when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in

any airflow mode except

(defrost). When the ignition switch is

turned off and back on, the climate system will return to the recirculated

air mode only if the A/C button LED is illuminated and the air

distribution selection is either

(panel) or (panel/floor).

6. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel

vents to cool the vehicle. This re-cooling of the interior air is more

economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce

undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. Press the MAX A/C button

again for normal A/C operation.

Passenger heated seat control (if equipped): Press to control

the passenger heated seat. Refer to Heated seats in the Seating and

Safety Restraints chapter for more information.

8. Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the airflow in the

vehicle.

Fan speed adjustment: Turn to select the desired fan speed.

10.

Driver heated seat control (if equipped): Press to control the

driver seat. Refer to Heated seats in the Seating and Safety Restraints

chapter for more information.

11.

Power: Press to activate/deactivate the climate control system.

When the system is off, outside air is prevented from entering the

vehicle.

Operating tips

• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,

select

(defrost). Temperature and/or fan speed can also be

increased to improve clearing.

• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the

system off or with recirculated air engaged.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the

airflow to the back seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.

• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open

for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”

During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for

extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in

the MAX A/C mode, adjust the blower fan speed to the lowest setting

and put the vehicle’s transmission into the P (Park) position (automatic

transmission only) to continue to receive cool air from your A/C system.

For maximum cooling performance in MAX A/C mode:

1. Move temperature control to the coolest setting.

2. Set the fan to the highest speed initially, then adjust to maintain

comfort.

For maximum cooling performance in panel or panel/floor modes:

1. Move temperature control to the coolest setting.

2. Select A/C and

(recirculated air) to provide colder airflow.

3. Set the fan to the highest speed initially, then adjust to maintain

comfort.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:

1. Select

2. Select A/C.

3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.

5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.

6. To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the

vents located in the middle of the instrument panel.
