Climate Control Display
The fan, air delivery mode, air
conditioning, driver and passenger
temperatures, and SYNC settings can be controlled by touching CLIMATE
on the infotainment Home Page or the climate button in the climate control
display application tray. A selection
can then be made on the front climate control page displayed. See the

Climate Control Status Display
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
