Climate Control Both heated mirrors remove ice, mist and fog when you switch on the heated rear window. REMOTE START The climate control system adjusts the cabin temperature during remote start. You cannot adjust the system during remote start operation. Turn the ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. You can now make adjustments. You need to turn certain vehicle-dependent features back on, such as: • heated seats • cooled seats • heated steering wheel • heated mirrors • heated rear window. You can adjust the settings using the information display controls. See Information Displays (page 101). CABIN AIR FILTER Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter. It is located behind the glove box. The particulate filtration system reduces the concentration of airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the air supplied to the interior of your vehicle. Note: To prevent foreign objects from entering the system, make sure the cabin air is in place at all times. Running the system without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the system. The particulate filtration system gives you and your passengers the following benefits: • It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration. • It improves the interior compartment cleanliness. • It protects the climate control components from particle deposits. Replace the filter at regular intervals. See Scheduled Maintenance (page 436). For additional cabin air filter information, or to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer. Automatic Settings You can set the climate control to operate in AUTO mode through the information display setting: Remote Start > Climate Control > Heater-A/C > Auto. The climate control system automatically sets the interior temperature to 72°F (22°C). In hot weather, the system is set to 72°F (22°C). Cooled seats are set to high (if available, and selected to AUTO in the information display). In moderate weather, the system either heats or cools (based on previous settings). The rear defroster, heated mirrors and heated/cooled seats do not automatically turn on. 130 MKZ (CC9)
