Climate Control Functions

A/C (Air Conditioning)

The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to
manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning sys-
tem. When the air conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the outlets into the
cabin. For improved fuel economy, press the A/C button to

• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,

select Defrost mode and adjust blower speed if needed.

• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than

expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (located
in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or
insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from the front of
the radiator and through the condenser.

MAX A/C

MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling perfor-
mance.

Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and the
prior settings. The button illuminates when MAX A/C is
on.

In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position can be
adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings
will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the selected
setting and MAX A/C to exit.

Recirculation

When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high humidity,
or if rapid cooling is desired, you may wish to recirculate
interior air by pressing the Recirculation control button.
The recirculation indicator will illuminate when this button

is selected. Press the button a second time to turn off the
Recirculation mode and allow outside air into the vehicle.

NOTE:

In cold weather, use of recirculation mode may lead

to excessive window fogging. The recirculation feature
may be unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed out)
if conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of
the windshield. On systems with Manual Climate Controls,
the Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation will be
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this mode will cause the LED
in the control button to blink and then turn off.

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If
Equipped

Automatic Operation

1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate, or the AUTO

button on the touchscreen on the Automatic Tempera-
ture Control (ATC) Panel.

3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is

not necessary to change the settings. You will experience
the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to
function automatically.

NOTE:

• It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for

cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, mode, and blower speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.

• The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric units

by selecting the US/Metric customer-programmable fea-
ture. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in this section of the
manual.

To provide you with maximum comfort in the Automatic
mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan will remain on
low until the engine warms up. The blower will increase in
speed and transition into Auto mode.

Manual Operation Override

This system offers a full complement of manual override
features. The AUTO symbol in the front ATC display will
be turned off when the system is being used in the manual
mode.

NOTE:

The system will not automatically sense the pres-

ence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield. DEFROST mode
must be manually selected to clear the windshield and side
glass.

Operating Tips

NOTE:

Refer to the chart at the end of this section for

suggested control settings for various weather conditions.

Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against engine overheating. OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recommended. Refer
to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for proper coolant selection.

Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor-
mance, make sure the engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount, type, and concentration
of coolant is used. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for proper coolant selection.
Use of the air Recirculation mode during Winter months is
not recommended because it may cause window fogging.
