For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
A/C (Air Conditioning) (For
Non-Stop/Start Vehicles) : Press
to turn the air conditioning on or off.
If the fan is turned off, the air
conditioner will not run and the
indicator light may turn off.
Press AUTO to return to automatic
operation and the air conditioner
runs as needed. When the indicator
light is on, the air conditioner runs
automatically to cool the air inside
the vehicle or to dry the air as
needed to defog the windshield
faster.
A/C (Comfort/Eco Air
Conditioning) (For Stop/Start
Vehicles) : Press to cycle between
the off, eco, and comfort air
conditioning modes. The indicator
will be lit in comfort and eco modes
and turns off when there is no A/C
function. If the fan is turned off, the
air conditioner will not run and the
indicator light may turn off.
Press AUTO to return to automatic
operation and the air conditioner
runs automatically as needed. When
the indicator light is on, the air
conditioner runs automatically to
cool the air inside the vehicle or to
dry the air as needed to defog the
windshield faster.
For comfort a/c, press A/C. The
indicator will turn amber.
For eco a/c, press A/C again. The
indicator will turn green. This setting
balances fuel economy and air
conditioning comfort. In warm
weather conditions, auto stops may
occur more frequently and the
vehicle interior may be warmer as
compared to the comfort air
conditioning setting. This setting
allows higher humidity inside the
vehicle and window fogging before
the engine restarts.
Pressing the
0 button during an
auto stop may restart the engine to
prevent window fogging. To reach
comfort levels quickly during an
auto stop, the engine will restart if
the air conditioner is off and AUTO
or A/C is selected.
If temperature controls are adjusted
cooler during an auto stop, the
engine may restart to ensure that
comfort is reached.
L (Recirculation) : Press to turn
on recirculation. An indicator light
comes on. Air is recirculated to
quickly cool the inside of the vehicle
or prevent outside air and odors
from entering.
Auto Defog : The climate control
system may have a sensor to
automatically detect high humidity
inside the vehicle. When high
humidity is detected, the climate
control system may adjust to
outside air supply and turn on the
air conditioner. The fan speed may
slightly increase to help prevent
fogging. 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
