Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or prevent you from switching on) in all air
flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging. Recirculation may
also turn on and off in Panel or Panel/Floor air flow modes during hot weather
in order to improve cooling efficiency.
Heated seats: Press to switch the heated seats on and off. See Heated Seats
(page 117).

turns on and the fan adjusts to the highest speed.

MAX Defrost: Press to switch on defrost. The driver and passenger settings
set to HI, air flows through the windshield vents, and the fan adjusts to the
highest speed. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield
of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window also turns on when you select
maximum defrost.

maximum defrost is on.

Smart Zone
If there is not an occupant in the front
passenger seat, the climate control system
may default to single zone in order to
improve fuel economy (if you were
previously in dual zone operation). When
this occurs, dual zone turns off and the
passenger set point changes to match the
driver set point.
Press the dual zone button or adjust the
passenger set point normally if you desire
dual zone operation without a passenger
present. The system remains in dual zone
operation until you switch the vehicle off.
You can disable or re-enable the Smart
Zone feature by pressing and holding the
dual zone button. Both set point displays
begin flashing to signify when the feature
disables. The system returns to previous
state after you release the dual zone
button.
To re-enable the Smart Zone feature:
Press and hold the dual zone button for
more than four seconds. Only the driver
set point display begins flashing to signify
when you re-enable the feature. The
climate control system returns to the
previous state after you release the dual
zone button.
