To avoid blowing cold air at start-up in cold weather,
the system delays turning on the fan until warm air is
available. The length of delay depends on the engine
coolant temperature. Turning the fan knob overrides
this delay and change the fan to a selected speed.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the climate
control display initially shows “AS” in place of the
temperature to indicate the remote start has been
activated. The remote start system turns on using the
last temperature selected before the vehicle was
last turned off.
For best performance, turn the fan and mode knobs to
the AUTO position. The fan speed and air delivery
modes will change to achieve the best comfort.
If the outside air temperature is below 45°F and the air
delivery mode knob is set to AUTO, the automatic
climate control system starts in the defrost mode to clear
the window.
The automatic climate control changes back to manual
operation by turning the vehicle on with the key.
Manual Operation
The air delivery mode or fan speed can be manually
adjusted.
9(Off): Select this position on the fan knob to turn off
the entire climate control system. Outside air still

This direction can be changed by changing the mode
position. The temperature can also be adjusted
using either the up or down arrow temperature buttons.

of the air to the floor outlets with some air directed to
the side window outlets and windshield.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost modes. See Defogging and Defrosting later in
this section.
: (Outside Air): Press the right side of this button
to turn the outside air mode on. Air from outside
the vehicle circulates throughout your vehicle. An
indicator light comes on to show that it is activated. The
outside air mode can be used with all modes, but it
cannot be used with the recirculation mode. Press this
button to cancel the recirculation mode.
