Passenger heated seat control (if equipped):

Press to

activate/deactivate the passenger heated seat. See

Heated seats

in

the

Seating and Safety Restraints

chapter.

11.

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).

Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all airflow modes
except MAX A/C. 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).

12.

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.

13.

A/C:

Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with recirculated

air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C,

(defrost) and

(floor/defrost).

14.

Driver heated seat control (if equipped):

Press to

activate/deactivate the driver heated seat. See

Heated seats

in the

Seating and Safety Restraints

chapter.

Outside temperature (if equipped):

The outside temperature will

appear in the display and is labeled EXT TEMP.

Operating tips

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

(defrost) or

(floor/defrost).

To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with

(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.

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 time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the
windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the
vehicle has been “aired out.”
