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
(if equipped) on the Automatic Tempera -
ture Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Next,  adjust  the  temperature  you  would like  the system to  maintain by adjusting
the  temperature  control  buttons.  Once
the desired temperature is displayed, the
system achieves and automatically main -
tains that comfort level.
3. When  the  system  is  set  up  for  your comfort  level,  it  is  not  necessary  to
change  the  settings.  You  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  U.S./
Metric customer-programmable feature.

(Continued)
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic  mode  during  cold  start-ups,  the
blower  fan  remains  on  low  until  the  engine
warms up. The blower increases 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 
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  Recirculation
mode  during  Winter  months  is  not  recom -
mended, 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.
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. 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.
 CAUTION! (Continued)

When  the  LaneSense  system  senses  the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes  yellow,  the  left  thin  line  remains
solid yellow and the LaneSense telltale 
changes  from  solid  white  to  flashing
yellow.
NOTE:
The  LaneSense  system  operates  with  the
similar  behavior  for  a  right  lane  departure
when  only  the  right  lane  marking  has  been
detected.
Left Lane Departure — Both Lanes Detected  
When  the  LaneSense  system  is  on,  the
lane  lines  turn from  grey  to  white to  indi-
cate  that  both  of  the  lane  markings  have
been detected. The LaneSense telltale 
is  solid  green  when  both  lane  markings
have  been  detected  and  the  system  is
“armed” to provide visual warnings in the
instrument  cluster  display  and  a  torque
warning  in  the  steering  wheel  if  an  unin -
tentional lane departure occurs.
When the LaneSense system senses a lane
drift situation, the left thick lane line and
left  thin  line  turn  solid  yellow.  The  Lane-
Sense telltale   changes from solid green to  solid  yellow.  At  this  time  torque  is
applied to the steering wheel in the oppo-
site direction of the lane boundary.
For example: if approaching the left side 
of the lane the steering wheel will turn to 
the right.
When  the  LaneSense  system  senses  the
lane has been approached and is in a lane
departure situation, the left thick lane line
flashes  yellow  and  the  left  thin  line
remains solid  yellow. The LaneSense tell
-
tale    stays  solid  yellow.  At  this  time
torque is  applied  to  the  steering  wheel  in
the  opposite  direction  of  the  lane
boundary.
For example: if approaching the left side 
of the lane the steering wheel will turn to 
the right.
NOTE:
The  LaneSense  system  operates  with  the
similar behavior for a right lane departure.
Changing LaneSense Status
The LaneSense system has settings to adjust
the  intensity  of  the  torque  warning  (Low/
Medium/High)  and  the  warning  zone  sensi -
tivity  (Early/Medium/Late)  that  you  can
configure  through  the  Uconnect  system screen.  Refer  to  “Uconnect  Settings”  in
“Multimedia”  in  the  Owner’s  Manual  for
further details.
NOTE:
The  system  will  not  apply  torque  to  the
steering  wheel  whenever  a  safety  system
engages  (Anti-Lock  Brakes,  Traction
Control  System,  Electronic  Stability
Control, Forward Collision Warning, etc.).
Use  of  the  turn  signals  and  Hazard
Warning  flashers  also  suppresses  the
warnings.
