In the interest of safety, only operate or adjust the system when it is safe to do so. Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Do not adjust the climate controls, or allow the system to distract the driver, while the vehicle is moving. Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.
The climate control touch panel is located on the lower center console. The interior climate can be adjusted as follows:
AUTO mode is the recommended normal operating mode. In AUTO mode, the system regulates cabin climate based on feedback from the vehicle’s sensors, helping maintain a stable and comfortable cabin environment.
When a climate setting is adjusted manually the system exits full AUTO mode, this overrides automatic climate adjustment and delivers only the selected settings.
The A/C system can be switched on or off independently of the other climate control functions. However, this will not work if MAX A/C, or maximum demist, are active.
Air ionization technology is designed to improve the air quality within the cabin.
Prolonged use at low temperatures may cause the windows to mist.
On non-PHEV models, this key is marked All Terrain Progress Control (ASPC). See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) OVERVIEW.
On non-PHEV models, this key is marked Descent Control Mode. See DESCENT CONTROL MODE.
The EV mode soft key (10) and ASPC/Descent Control soft key (11) are configured differently on non-hybrid vehicles.
When the external temperature is low enough that ice may be present on the road, an amber snowflake warning lamp illuminates the instrument panel. See EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE (AMBER).
In cold ambient conditions, the windshield and rear screen heaters switch on automatically when the engine is started. The feature can be switched on or off via the Climate menu on the touchscreen. See APPS SCREEN
The climate control system monitors exterior air pollution and selects recirculation if it reaches a predetermined level. Automatic recirculation only operates when the Air Purity function is active. The sensitivity of the air quality sensor can be set via the CLIMATE SETTINGS screen. See AIR QUALITY SENSOR.
To view the climate settings menu:
See APPS SCREEN.
The sensitivity of the air quality sensor can be adjusted by changing the Air Purity level.
To adjust the Air Purity level:
To deactivate, touch OFF.
To access the REAR CLIMATE screen, select the rear climate option from the CLIMATE app screen. See APPS SCREEN.
Control the rear climate as follows:
The rear climate can be adjusted with the controls located in the rear of the center console.
Control the rear climate as follows:
Press once to cool the air from the rear vent, and a single LED illuminates.
Press a second time to increase the level of cooling, and two LEDs illuminate.
Press a third time to set the highest level of cooling, and three LEDs illuminate.
To increase the rear vent temperature press the temperature up icon (3), each press raises the vent temperature by one setting.
Press once to heat the air from the rear vent, and a single LED illuminates.
Press a second time to increase the level of heating, and two LEDs illuminate.
Press a third time to set the highest level of heating, and three LEDs illuminate.
To decrease rear vent temperature press the temperature down icon (2), each press lowers the vent temperature by one setting.
To access the third-row climate screen, access the CLIMATE app menu from the touchscreen. See APPS SCREEN.
Control the rear chiller from the touchscreen as follows:
The chiller for the third row can also be adjusted using the control at the rear of the vehicle.
To access the seat control screen, select the CLIMATE menu from the APPS screen. See APPS SCREEN.
Do not insert or attach items to the vents, e.g., pens, air fresheners, etc. Doing so could potentially cause damage to the vehicle.
Do not use excessive force while operating the vent control or the thumbwheel. Doing so could potentially cause damage to the vehicle.
The vents can be opened using the following procedure:
The vent can only be fully closed again using the thumbwheel. The vent can be closed regardless of the position of the directional control.
Heated seats consume a large amount of battery power. They only operate when the engine is running.
The heated rear seats (non-climate) can only be operated by pressing the buttons located at the rear of the center console.
The heated front seats are controlled via the lower touchscreen. See CLIMATE SEATS.
On vehicles with rear climate seats, the rear heated seats are controlled in the same manner as climate seats. See CLIMATE SEATS.
The climate seats only operate when the engine is running.
To access the heated or climate seat screen, touch the seat icon on the Climate app. See APPS SCREEN and SEAT COMFORT AND ADJUSTMENT.
The temperature status of the selected seat zone is displayed on the touchscreen. The status orange is red for heated operation and blue for cooling operation.
The rotary control displays a numeric + or – status. The outline of the rotary control illuminates to display red for heated operation and blue for cooling operation.
The outline of the rotary control illuminates to display the level of seat massage intensity.
Auto Massage can be set in Seat Settings. See SEAT SETTINGS.
The massage programs have a 10-minute cycle. Reselect for repeated use.
To view the seat settings menu: touch the Seat app. Select the Seat app from the touchscreen. See APPS SCREEN.
The following options can be selected:
The temperatures selected via the climate control system are perceived values. The system operates to achieve these selected values. The selected value does not represent the output temperature from the air vents. Air vent output temperature varies as the system automatically adjusts the vent outputs to achieve the set temperatures. The actual temperature in the cabin may differ from the set temperatures due to internal and external factors, including ambient temperature, sun load, and direction. The climate control system automatically adjusts the airflow level, direction, and temperature to compensate for these internal and external factors. Automatic adjustments in the air vent outputs may result in some temperature differentiation within the cabin.
