12. Modes
The airflow distribution mode can be
adjusted so air comes from the instru-
ment panel outlets, floor outlets, de-
mist outlets and defrost outlets. The
Mode settings are as follows:

Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. Each of these
outlets can be individually ad-
justed to direct the flow of air. The air
vanes of the center outlets and out-
board outlets can be moved up and
down or side to side to regulate air-
flow direction. There is a shut off
wheel located below the air vanes to
shut off or adjust the amount of air-
flow from these outlets.182

Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets and floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
NOTE:
BI-LEVEL mode is designed under
comfort conditions to provide
cooler air out of the panel outlets
and warmer air from the floor out-
lets.
 Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets.
A slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side
window demister outlets.
 Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, defrost
and side window demist outlets.
This mode works best in cold or
snowy conditions. 
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield
and side window demist out-
lets. Use Defrost mode with
maximum temperature settings for
best windshield and side window de-
frosting and defogging. When the de-
frost mode is selected, the blower level
may increase.
13. SYNC
Press the Sync soft-key to toggle the
Sync feature On/Off. The Sync indi-
cator is illuminated when this feature

nize the passenger temperature set-
ting with the driver temperature set-
ting. Changing the passenger
temperature setting while in Sync will
automatically exit this feature.
CLIMATE CONTROL
FUNCTIONS
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When the air conditioning
system is turned on, cool dehumidi-
fied 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.
NOTE:
 If fog or mist appears on the
windshield or side glass, select
Defrost mode and increase
blower speed.
 If your air conditioning perfor- mance seems lower than ex-
pected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front
of the radiator), for an accumu-
lation of dirt or insects. Clean
with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through
the condenser. Fabric front fas-
cia protectors may reduce air-
flow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
Recirculation When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
183

Recirculation control button. The re-
circulation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Push the
button a second time to turn off the
Recirculation mode and allow outside
air into the vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of Recircula-
tion mode may lead to excessive
window fogging. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Re-
circulation 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)
ATC Hard-keys are located in the cen-
ter of the instrument panel.
Soft-keys are accessible on the
Uconnect Touch™ system screen.Automatic Operation
1. Press the AUTO hard-key or soft-
key button (9) on the Automatic Tem-
perature Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you
would like the system to maintain by
adjusting the driver and passenger
temperature hard or soft control but-
tons (6, 7, 10, 11). Once the desired
temperature is displayed, the system
will achieve and automatically main-
tain that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
NOTE:
 It is not necessary to move the
temperature settings for cold or
hot vehicles. The system auto-
matically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode and blower speed to
provide comfort as quickly as
possible.
 The temperature can be dis- played in U.S. or Metric units by selecting the US/M customer-
programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect Touch™ System
Settings” in this section of the
manual.
To provide you with maximum com-
fort in the Automatic mode, during
cold start-ups the blower fan will re-
main on low until the engine warms
up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation
The system allows for manual selec-
tion of blower speed, air distribution
mode, A/C status and recirculation
control.
The blower fan speed can be set to any
fixed speed by adjusting the blower
control. The fan will now operate at a
fixed speed until additional speeds are
selected. This allows the front occu-
pants to control the volume of air
circulated in the vehicle and cancel
the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direc-
tion of the airflow by selecting one of
the available mode settings. A/C op-

Engine Starting ProcedureWARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable
liquid into the air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
1. The shift lever must be in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position before
you can start the engine.
2. With your foot on the brake pedal,
press the ENGINE START/STOP
button.
3. Watch the “Wait To Start Light” in
the instrument cluster. Refer to “In-
strument Cluster” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. It may glow for up to
three seconds, depending on engine
temperature.
4. When the “Wait To Start Light”
goes out, the engine will automati-
cally start.
5. After the engine starts, allow it to
idle for approximately 30 seconds be-
fore driving. This allows oil to circu-
late and lubricate the turbocharger. Avoid prolonged idling in ambient
temperatures below ­18°C. Long pe-
riods of idling may be harmful to your
engine because combustion chamber
temperatures can drop so low that the
fuel may not burn completely. Incom-
plete combustion allows carbon and
varnish to form on piston rings and
injector nozzles. Also, the unburned
fuel can enter the crankcase, diluting
the oil and causing rapid wear to the
engine.
Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the
engine is cold. When starting a cold
engine, bring the engine up to operat-
ing speed slowly to allow the oil pres-
sure to stabilize as the engine warms
up.
NOTE:
High-speed, no-load running of a
cold engine can result in excessive
white smoke and poor engine per-
formance. No-load engine speeds
should be kept under 1,200 RPM
during the warm-up period, espe-
cially in cold ambient temperature
conditions.
If temperatures are below 0°C, operate
the engine at moderate speeds for five
minutes before full loads are applied.Engine Idling – In Cold WeatherAvoid prolonged idling in ambient tem-
peratures below ­18°C. Long periods of
idling may be harmful to your engine
because combustion chamber tempera-
tures can drop so low that the fuel may
not burn completely. Incomplete com-
bustion allows carbon and varnish to
form on piston rings and injector
nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can
enter the crankcase, diluting the oil and
causing rapid wear to the engine.Stopping The Engine
Before turning off your turbo diesel
engine, always allow the engine to
return to normal idle speed and run
for several seconds. This assures
proper lubrication of the turbo-
charger. This is particularly necessary
after any period of hard driving.
Idle the engine a few minutes before
routine shutdown. After full load op-
eration, idle the engine three to five
minutes before shutting it down. This
idle period will allow the lubricating

is in the OFF position.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION
SHIFT INTERLOCK
SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake
Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI)
that holds the shift lever in the PARK
position unless the brakes are applied.
To move the shift lever out of the
PARK position, the ignition switch
must be turned to the ON/RUN or
START position (engine running or
not) and the brake pedal must be
pressed.
EIGHT-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION – 3.6L
ENGINE
The transmission gear display
(PRND) (located in the instrument
panel cluster) indicates the transmis-
sion gear range. Transmission gear
state is also indicated in the display in
the shift knob. The shift lever is
spring-loaded and returns to a home
position when it is released. To select a
gear range, press the lock button on
the shift lever and move the lever rear-ward or forward. You must also press
the brake pedal to shift the transmis-
sion out of the PARK position (refer to
“Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System” in this section). To shift past
multiple gear ranges at once (such as
PARK to DRIVE), move the lever past
the first (or second) detent. Select the
DRIVE range for normal driving.
The electronically-controlled trans-
mission provides a precise shift sched-
ule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first
few shifts on a new vehicle may be
somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will de-
velop within a few hundred kilome-
ters.
Shifting from DRIVE to PARK or RE-
VERSE should be done only after the
accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep
your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the shift lever between these
gears.
The shift lever has PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and LOW shift
positions. Using the LOW position
manually downshifts the transmission
to a lower gear based on vehicle speed.
GEAR RANGES
DO NOT race the engine when shift-
ing from PARK or NEUTRAL into
another gear range.
PARK
This range supplements the parking
brake by locking the transmission.
The engine can be started in this
range. Never attempt to use PARK
while the vehicle is in motion. Apply
the parking brake when leaving the
vehicle in this range.
When parking on a level surface, you
may place the shift lever in the PARK
position first, and then apply the
parking brake.
When parking on a hill, apply the
parking brake before placing the shift
lever in PARK. As an added precau-
tion, turn the front wheels toward the
curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade.
196

In the event of a momentary problem,
the transmission can be reset to regain
all forward gears by performing the
following steps.
NOTE:
In cases where the instrument
cluster message indicates the
transmission may not re-engage
after engine shutdown, perform
this procedure only in a desired
location (preferably, at your au-
thorized dealer).
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission into PARK,
if possible.
3. Turn the engine OFF.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If
the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal op-
eration.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be
reset, we recommend that you visit
your authorized dealer at yourearliest possible convenience.
Your authorized dealer has diag-
nostic equipment to determine if
the problem could recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
FIVE-SPEED AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION – 3.0L
DIESEL ENGINE
The shift lever position display (lo-
cated in the instrument panel cluster)
indicates the transmission gear range.
You must press the brake pedal to
move the shift lever out of the PARK
position (refer to “Brake/
Transmission Shift Interlock System”
in this section). To drive, move the
shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL
to the DRIVE position.
The electronically-controlled trans-
mission provides a precise shift sched-
ule. The transmission electronics are
self-calibrating; therefore, the first
few shifts on a new vehicle may be
somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and precision shifts will de-
velop within a few hundred kilome-
ters.Shifting from DRIVE to PARK or RE-
VERSE should be done only after the
accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep
your foot on the brake pedal when
moving the shift lever between these
gears.
The transmission shift lever has only
PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, and
DRIVE shift positions. Manual shifts
can be made using the “AutoStick®”
shift control (refer to “AutoStick®” in
this section). Moving the shift lever to
the left or right (-/+) while in the
DRIVE position will manually select
the transmission gear, and will display
that gear in the instrument cluster as
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

POWER STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electro-hydraulic power steering sys-
tem that will give you good vehicle
response and increased ease of ma-
neuverability in tight spaces. The sys-
tem will vary its assist to provide light
efforts while parking and good feel
while driving. If the electro-hydraulic
power steering system experiences a
fault that prevents it from providing
power steering assist, then the system
will provide mechanical steering ca-
pability.CAUTION!
Extreme steering maneuvers may
cause the electrically driven pump to
reduce or stop power steering assis-
tance in order to prevent damage to
the system. Normal operation will
resume once the system is allowed to
cool.If the “SERVICE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM”
message and a flashing icon
are displayed on the EVIC
screen, it indicates that the vehicle
needs to be taken to the dealer for service. It is likely the vehicle has lost
power steering assistance. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM
OVER TEMP” message and an icon
are displayed on the EVIC screen, it
indicates that extreme steering ma-
neuvers may have occurred, which
caused an over temperature condition
in the power steering system. You will
lose power steering assistance mo-
mentarily until the over temperature
condition no longer exists. Once driv-
ing conditions are safe, then pull over
and let vehicle idle for a few moments
until the light turns off. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further infor-
mation.
NOTE:
 Even if power steering assis-
tance is no longer operational, it
is still possible to steer the ve-
hicle. Under these conditions
there will be a substantial in- crease in steering effort, espe-
cially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
 If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for ser-
vice.
PARKING BRAKE
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure
that the parking brake is fully applied
and place the shift lever in the PARK
position.
The foot operated parking brake is
located below the lower left corner of
the instrument panel. To apply the
park brake, firmly push the park
brake pedal fully. To release the park-
ing brake, press the park brake pedal
a second time and let your foot up as
you feel the brake disengage.
