Climate Control Functions
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the 
operator to manually activate or deactivate the 
air conditioning system. When in A/C mode with 
the ATC set to a cool temperature, dehumidified 
air flows through the air outlets. If Economy 
mode is desired, push the A/C button to turn off 
the A/C mode in the Automatic Temperature 
Control (ATC) display and deactivate the A/C 
system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix or Defrost Mode, the A/C 
can be turned off, but the A/C system shall 
remain active to prevent fogging of the 
windows.
If not operating in AUTO mode, the system 
will not automatically sense the presence of 
fog, mist or ice on the windshield. Defrost 
Mode must be manually selected to clear the 
windshield and side glass.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or 
side glass, select Defrost Mode and adjust 
blower speed if needed.
Recirculation For Automatic Temperature 
Control
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 recircula-
tion feature may be unavailable (button on the 
touchscreen greyed out) if conditions exist that 
could create fogging on the inside of the wind-
shield. On systems with Manual Climate 
Controls, the Recirculation mode is not allowed 
in Defrost Mode to improve window clearing 
operation. Recirculation will be disabled auto -
matically 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.

driver and passenger temperature control 
buttons. Once the desired temperature is 
displayed, the system will achieve and 
automatically 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 VEHICLE91
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 U.S./Metric 
customer-programmable feature. 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 
Automatic Temperature Control (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. 
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical 
Specifications” for proper coolant selection.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and 
defroster performance, make sure the engine 
cooling system is functioning properly and the 
proper amount, type, and concentration of 
coolant is used. Refer to “Fluids And 
Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for 
proper coolant selection. 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 damage 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 Defrost or Mix mode and 
increase the front blower speed. Do not use the 
Recirculation mode without A/C (air 
conditioning) for long periods, as fogging may 
occur.
