The climate control status display appears briefly when the climate

control buttons on the center stack are adjusted.

Automatic Operation

The system automatically controls the fan speed, air delivery, air

conditioning, and recirculation in

order to heat or cool the vehicle to the desired temperature.

When the indicator light is on or AUTO is displayed on the climate

control display, the system is in full

adjusted, the auto indicator turns off and the display will show the selected

settings. Auto operation can be turned off individually for climate settings.

For automatic operation:

1. Press AUTO.

2. Set the temperature. Allow the system time to stabilize. Then

adjust the temperature as needed for best comfort.

To improve fuel efficiency and to cool

the vehicle faster, recirculation may be automatically selected in warm

weather. The recirculation light will not come on in AUTO mode. Press

@ to select recirculation; press it

again to select outside air.

humidity is detected, the climate

control system may adjust to outside air supply and turn on the air

conditioner. If the climate control system does not detect possible

window fogging, it returns to normal operation. To turn Auto Defog off or on, see Climate and Air Quality

under Vehicle Personalization 0 168.

defogger turns on automatically when the interior temperature is cold and

the outside temperature is about 4 °C (40 °F) and below.

The upper grid lines on the rear

window are antenna lines and are not intended to heat when the defogger is activated.

Caution

Do not try to clear frost or other material from the inside of the

front windshield and rear window with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp. This may damage the rear window defogger grid and

affect the radio's ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle

warranty.
