In ambient temperatures at 40°F (4.5°C) or below, the climate settings will default to maximum heat, with fresh air entering the cabin. If the front defrost timer expires, the vehicle will enter Mix mode.
In ambient temperatures from 40°F (4.5°C) to 78°F (26°C), the climate settings will be based on the last settings selected by the driver.
In ambient temperatures at 78°F (26°C) or above, the climate settings will default to MAX A/C, Bi-Level mode, with Recirculation on.
