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
turn off the air conditioning and manually adjust the
blower and airflow mode settings. Also, make sure to select
only Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor modes.

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

select Defrost mode, and increase 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

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 Recircula-
tion mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to improve
window clearing operation. Recirculation is disabled auto-
matically if this mode is selected. Attempting to use
Recirculation while in this mode causes the LED in the
control button to blink and then turns 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.

2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like the system

to maintain by adjusting the driver and passenger
temperature control buttons. Once the desired tempera-
ture is displayed, the system will achieve and automati-
cally maintain that comfort level.

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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 the “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.

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.

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.

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. Use of the Air Recirculation mode
during Winter months is not recommended, because it may
cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage

Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e.,
vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning
system at idle for about five minutes, in fresh air with the
blower setting on high. This will ensure adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor dam-
age when the system is started again.

Window Fogging

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy,
and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select De-
frost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed. Do
not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-

dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heat-
ing elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.

• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive

window cleaners on the interior surface of the win-
dow.

• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

Outside Air Intake

Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the
windshield, is free of obstructions, such as leaves. Leaves
collected in the air intake may reduce airflow, and if they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water drains. In
Winter months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,
slush, and snow.

Cabin Air Filter

The climate control system filters out dust and pollen from
the air. Contact an authorized dealer to service your cabin
air filter, and to have it replaced when needed.
