    							Driver temperature: Touch up or down to adjust the temperature.
    A
    Heated steering wheel:
     Touch this icon to switch the heated steering wheel
    on and off. It takes about 5 minutes to warm the steering wheel to 74°F (23.3°C)
    in temperatures as low as -4°F (-21.7°C). The wheel maintains an approximate
    temperature of 90°F (32.2°C) and operates independently from the heated
    seats and other climate-control functions. The heating element is in between
    the leather covering and foam core to help provide maximum heat without
    adversely affecting the feel of the steering wheel.
    B
    Note:
     This feature only functions when you switch the engine on.
    Note:
     The heated steering wheel may remain on after remote starting the
    vehicle, based on your remote start settings. The heated steering wheel may
    also turn on when you start your vehicle, if it was on when you switched your
    vehicle off.
    Note:
     For steering wheels with wood trim, the heating feature will not heat the
    wheel between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions.
    Defrost: 
     A pop up appears on the screen to display the defrost options.
    C
    MAX Defrost: Touch the button to maximize defrosting. Air flows through the
    windshield vents, the fan automatically adjusts to the highest speed and the
    driver and passenger temperatures are set to HI. You can use this setting to
    defog or clear a thin covering of ice from the windshield. The heated rear window
    also automatically turns on when you select MAX Defrost.
    Defrost: 
    Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and demister
    vents.
    AUTO:
     Touch the button to switch on automatic operation. Select the desired
    temperature using the temperature control. The system adjusts fan speed, air
    distribution, air conditioning operation, and selects outside air or recirculated
    air to heat or cool the vehicle in order to maintain the desired temperature.
    D
    Power: 
     Touch the button to switch the system on and off. Switching off the
    climate control system prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

     This button lights up when the passenger controls are active. To switch
    it off and link the passenger temperature to the driver temperature, touch the
    DUAL button.
    F
    Note:

    							MAX A/C:  Touch the button to activate and maximize cooling. The driver and
    passenger temperatures are set to LO, recirculated air flows through the
    instrument panel vents, air conditioning automatically turns on and the fan
    automatically adjusts to the highest speed.
    A/C: Touch to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use A/C with recirculated
    air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
    Note:
     In certain conditions (for example, Max Defrost), the air conditioning
    compressor may continue to operate even when you switch the air conditioning
    A/C button off.
    Recirculated air:
     Touch to switch the recirculated air on or off. When
    recirculated air is on, it may reduce the amount of time needed to cool down
    the interior (when used with A/C) and help reduce odors from reaching the
    interior.
    Note:
     Recirculatied air may turn off automatically (or the system may not allow
    recirculatied air to turn on) in all airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce risk
    of fogging. It may also turn on and off automatically in Panel or Panel/Floor
    airflow modes during hot weather in order to improve cooling efficiency.
    Manual airflow distribution controls:
     Select these controls individually,
    together, or with Defrost to direct the air flow to the area you desire.

    Panel:
     Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.
    Floor:
