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 illumi
-
nates when MAX A/C is on.

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.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP
CAMERA — IF EQUIPPED
You can see an on-screen image of the rear
of your vehicle whenever the transmission is
shifted into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear
Back Up Camera image will be displayed on
the Uconnect Display, located on the center
stack of the instrument panel.
