Once the desired temperature is displayed, the ATC
System will automatically achieve and maintain that
comfort level. 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 automati-
cally adjusts the temperature, mode and fan speed to
provide comfort as quickly as possible.

The rear blower control knob can be manually set to
off, or any fixed blower speed, by rotating the knob
from low to high. This allows the rear seat occupants to
control the volume of air circulated in the rear of the
vehicle.

Temperature Control System through an
intake grille, located in the right side trim
panel behind the third row seats.The rear outlets
are located in the right side trim panel of the 3rd
Row seat . Do not block or place objects directly in
front of the inlet grille or heater outlets. The
electrical system could overload causing damage
totheblowermotor. Rear Temperature Control
To change the temperature in the rear of the vehicle,
rotate the temperature knob counterclockwise to
lower the temperature, and clockwise to increase the
temperature. The rear temperature settings are dis-
played in the Uconnect® system.
When rear controls are locked by the Uconnect®
system, the Rear Temperature Lock symbol on the
temperature knob is illuminated and any rear overhead
adjustments are ignored.

The rear system automatically maintains the correct
mode and comfort level desired by the rear seat occu-
pants.
• Headliner Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the headliner.
Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted
to direct the flow of air. Moving the air vanes of the
outlets to one side will shut off the airflow.
• Bi-Level Mode Air comes from both the headliner outlets and
the floor outlets.

•Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc .). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to de-
grade battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., cool-
ers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc .) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle's batter y.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or acces-
sory bracket from the plug.
CUPHOLDERS
There are two cupholders, located in the center floor
console, for the front passengers.
(fig. 90)
For passengers in the second row there are two cup-
holders, located in the center armrest between the
two seats.

CARGO TIE-DOWNS
WARNING!
Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for
a child seat tet

her strap. In a sudden stop
or collision, a tie-down could pull loose and allow
the child seat to come loose. A child could be
badly injured. Use only the anchors provided for
child seat tethers.
Cargo tie-downs are located on both rear trim panels.
These tie-downs should be used to secure loads safely
when the vehicle is moving.
(fig. 108)
WARNING!
The weight and position of cargo and
passenger s

can change the vehicle cen-
ter of gravity and vehicle handling.To avoid loss of
control resulting in personal injur y, follow these
guidelines for loading your vehicle:
• Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits de- scribed on the label attached to the left door or left
door center pillar.
• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
• Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to
sway.
• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
• To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.
