AUTO: Press the button to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically adjusts fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the selected temperature.
G
Passenger temperature control: Turn to increase or decrease the air temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle.
H
Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 119).
I
MAX Defrost: Press to switch on. The system distributes outside air through the windshield air vents, the air conditioning automatically turns on, and the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed. When MAX defrost is on, recirculated air cannot be selected (to prevent fogging). The heated rear window is automatically switched on when MAX defrost is selected.
J
Power: Press the button to turn the system off and on. When the system is off, outside air cannot enter the vehicle.
K
Heated seat (if equipped): Turn the driver or passenger heated seats on and off. See Heated Seats (page 127).
L
MAX A/C: Press the button to switch between outside air and recirculated air. When you select recirculated air, the air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and may reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle. Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the possibility of fogging.
M
A/C: Press the button to turn air conditioning off and on. To improve air conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three minutes. Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.

CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
Note:You can switch temperature units
between Fahrenheit and Celsius. See
Settings (page 364).

Driver heated seat control (if equipped): Turn the driver heated seat off and on. See Heated Seats (page 127).
A
Driver temperature control: Press + or - to increase or decrease the air temperature for the driver side of the vehicle. This control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when dual zone operation is disengaged. B
Power: Press to turn the system off and on. When the system is off, outside air cannot enter the vehicle.
C
Fan speed control: Press on either side of the fan icon to increase or decrease the volume of air circulated in your vehicle.
D
Passenger temperature controls: Press + or - to increase or decrease the air temperature for the passenger side of the vehicle.
E
Passenger heated seat control (if equipped): Turn the passenger heated seat off and on. See Heated Seats (page 127).

Heated rear window: Turns the heated rear window on and off. See Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 119).
K
Defrost: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and de-mister vents. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
L
