• Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed. On some models, press the fan control to turn the climate control system on or off.
• TEMP: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle.
• Air Delivery Mode Controls: Press or to change the direction of the airflow. Any combination of the three controls can be selected. An indicator light comes on in the selected mode button.
• To change the current mode, select one or more of the following. An indicator light will illuminate:
  • : Air is directed to the windshield, outboard a/c outlets, and side window outlets.
  • : Air is directed to the a/c outlets.
  • : Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some air directed to the windshield, outboard a/c outlets, and side window outlets
• MAX: Air is directed to the windshield and the fan runs at a higher speed if not already above a medium fan speed. This mode overrides the previous mode selected and clears fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. When the control is pressed again, the system returns to the previous mode setting and fan speed.
• For best results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.
• : Press to turn on recirculation. An indicator light comes on. Air is recirculated to quickly cool the inside of the vehicle.
• It can also be used to help reduce outside air and odors that enter the vehicle. Avoid using recirculation for long periods of time in cold or damp conditions. Using recirculation in cold or damp conditions can result in window fogging.
• A/C: Press to turn the air conditioning on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning is enabled. If the fan is turned off, the air conditioner will not run. The A/C light will stay on even if the outside temperatures are below freezing.

Rear Window Defogger

• REAR : If equipped, press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light on the button comes on to show that the rear window defogger is on.
• The rear window defogger only works when the engine is running. The defogger turns off if the vehicle is turned off or to ACC/ ACCESSORY.
• If equipped with heated outside mirrors, press to turn them on or off. See Heated Mirrors 0 33.

Caution

Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window can damage the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not clear the inside rear window with sharp objects.

Remote Start Climate Control Operation

If equipped with a remote start, the climate control system may run when the vehicle is started remotely. If equipped with heated or ventilated seats or a heated steering wheel, these features may come on during a remote start. See Remote Vehicle Start 0 17, Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 0 48, and Heated Steering Wheel 0 97

Sensors

• The solar sensor, on top of the instrument panel near the windshield, monitors the solar heat.
• The climate control system uses the sensor information to adjust the temperature, fan speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode for the best comfort.
• Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the automatic climate control system may not work properly.

Afterglow Feature

If equipped, under certain conditions, the fan may stay on or may turn on and off several times after you turn off and lock the vehicle. This is normal.
