Switching Off/On The
Climate Control System
Switching Off The Climate Control
System
Rotate the Air Speed Adjustment Knob
completely counterclockwise to turn off
the Climate Control System.
With the air conditioner off:
Air recirculation is on
The A/C compressor is off
The fan is off
The heated rear window can be
activated/deactivated
Note: The climate control system
stores the previously set temperatures
and resumes operation when any
button on the system is pushed.
Switching On The Climate Control
System
To switch the climate control system on
in automatic mode, push the AUTO
button.
Stop/Start
The climate control system manages
the Stop/Start system. Stop/Start has
the engine shut off when vehicle speed
is 0 mph (0 km/h) to maintain comfort
within the vehicle.
48
Stop/Start will deactivate in the
following scenarios:
The climate control system is in
AUTO mode (indicator illuminated), and
the vehicle has yet to reach the set
temperature
The climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling
The climate control system is in HI
maximum heating
The climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status
When the Stop/Start system is active,
the engine will restart if the inside
temperature changes significantly, or if
the LO setting, or MAX-DEF setting, is
activated.
With Stop/Start system on, air flow is
reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically
changes within the cabin, the climate
control system will continue to maintain
the temperature while the engine is off.
By deactivating the Stop/Start system
with the button located on the
dashboard, the climate control system
will take priority over the engine shutting
off.
Note:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the
use of the Stop/Start system to
prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off. This
will cause rapid misting of the windows
and the accumulation of humidity in
the passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on,
the climate control system will always
take air in from outside, reducing the
probability of the windows fogging up.
Additional Heater — If
Equipped
Note: The additional heater
automatically operates if the outside
temperature and engine coolant
temperature are low. The heater will not
operate if battery voltage is low.
System Maintenance
In winter, the Climate Control System
must be turned on at least once a
month for approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer before the summer.
