(Heated/Cooled Seat): Press this button to turn the
feature on. The button on the left controls the driver's
seat and the button on the right controls the passenger's
seat. Each press of the button will take you to a
different setting. The settings available in order are
HI HEAT, LO HEAT, OFF, HI COOL, LO COOL
and OFF. You will be able to feel the temperature
change in a few minutes.
The feature will automatically turn off when the vehicle
is turned off.
?
(Recirculation): Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. The air-conditioning
compressor also comes on. This mode keeps outside
air from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to
help cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly.
Recirculation is not available in defrost or floor/defog
modes.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause
the air inside your vehicle to become too dry. To prevent
this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has
cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.

Sensors
There are sensors to measure the temperature and
sun's effect on passenger comfort.
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation then uses the information to maintain the
selected temperature when operating in AUTO mode by
initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the
fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may
also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing
the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as
necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near the windshield
or the system will not work properly.
There is also a sensor located behind the front bumper.
This sensor reads the outside air temperature and
helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle.
The outside temperature will be displayed in the
navigation system only when the engine is running.
Any cover on the front of the vehicle could give a false
reading of the temperature.
