Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate
the air conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu-
midified 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:
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system
is in Mix, Floor 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 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 performance.

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.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate,
or the AUTO button on the touchscreen
on the Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature that you would like the system to maintain by
adjusting the 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.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move the tempera-
ture settings for cold or hot vehicles. The
system automatically adjusts the tempera-
ture, 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 feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
in your Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.
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:
For suggested control settings for various
weather conditions, refer to “Climate
Controls” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle”
in the Owner’s Manual.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be
protected with a high-quality antifreeze
coolant to provide proper corrosion protec -
tion and to protect against engine over -
heating. OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) is recommended.
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. Use of the Air Recircula -
tion 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 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 window. 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
heating elements. Labels can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the inte-
rior surface of the window.
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 obstruc-
tions, 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 autho -
rized dealer to service your cabin air filter,
and to have it replaced when needed.
Stop/Start System — If Equipped
While in an Autostop, the Climate Control
system may automatically adjust airflow to
maintain cabin comfort. Customer settings
will be maintained upon return to an engine
running condition.
Windshield Wiper De-icer — If Equipped
The windshield wiper de-icer is a heating
element located at the base of the wind -
shield.
It operates automatically once the following
conditions are met:
Activation By Front Defrost
The wiper de-icer activates automatically
during a cold weather manual start with
full defrost, and when the ambient tem-
perature is below 33°F (0.6°C) .
Activation By Rear Defrost
The wiper de-icer activates automatically
when the Rear Defrost is operating and
the ambient temperature is below 33°F
(0.6°C) .
Activation By Remote Start Operation
When the Remote Start is activated and
the outside ambient temperature is less
than 33°F (0.6°C) the windshield wiper
de-icer is activated. Upon exiting Remote
Start, the climate control functions will
resume their previous operation except, if
the de-icer is active, the de-icer timer
and operation will continue.

copter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a
normal occurrence and can be minimized. If
the buffeting occurs with the rear windows
open, then open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.

If anything obstructs the Hands-Free Lift-
gate while it is opening or closing, the lift -
gate will automatically reverse to the
closed/open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the
liftgate to return to the open position.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop. If this
occurs, the liftgate must be operated
manually.
The power liftgate will release, but not
power open, in temperatures below −12°F
(−24°C). Be sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate before
opening the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality. Gas props support the liftgate in the open
position. However, because the gas pressure
drops with temperature, it may be necessary
to assist the props when opening the liftgate
in cold weather.
NOTE:
Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may
activate the liftgate obstacle detection
feature and stop the power operation or
reverse its direction.
INTERNAL EQUIPMENT
Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13
Amp) power outlets that can be used to
power cellular phones, small electronics, and
other low powered electrical accessories. The
power outlets are labeled with either a “key”
or a “battery” symbol to indicate how the
outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled with
a “key” are powered when the ignition switch
is in the ON or ACC position, while the
outlets labeled with a “battery” are
connected directly to the battery and
powered at all times.
NOTE:
All accessories connected to the “battery”
powered outlets should be removed or turned
off when the vehicle is not in use to protect
the battery against discharge.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. You and your passengers could
be injured by these fumes. Keep the lift
-
gate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the lift -
gate open, make sure that all windows
are closed, and the climate control
blower switch is set at high speed. Do
not use the recirculation mode.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the
liftgate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before
driving away.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warning

Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pres -
sure (those in a different color in the instru -
ment cluster graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value.
Once the system receives the updated tire
pressures, the system will automatically
update, the pressure values in the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will return to
their original color, and the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will turn off. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
5 psi (35 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light off.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light” will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure value to indicate which
sensor is not being received.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists,
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning
Light” will no longer flash, and the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no
longer display, and a pressure value will
display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching full size does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the
compact spare tire.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features
in your vehicle are the restraint systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized
dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information
in this section. It tells you how to use your
restraint system properly, to keep you and
your passengers as safe as possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying
air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information) must be secured in the
appropriate child restraint or belt-posi -
tioning booster seat in a rear seating
position. 3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a
rear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical
to allow the front air bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and
deployment occurs, the side air bags will
inflate forcefully into the space between
occupants and the door and occupants
could be injured.
