Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument
panel outlets and floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
NOTE:
BI-LEVEL mode is designed under
comfort conditions to provide
cooler air out of the panel outlets
and warmer air from the floor out-
lets.

CLIMATE CONTROL
FUNCTIONS
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button
allows the operator to manually acti-
vate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When the air conditioning
system is turned on, cool dehumidi-
fied 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.
NOTE:
 If fog or mist appears on the
windshield or side glass, select
Defrost mode and increase
blower speed.
 If your air conditioning perfor- mance seems lower than ex-
pected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front
of the radiator), for an accumu-
lation of dirt or insects. Clean
with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through
the condenser. Fabric front fas-
cia protectors may reduce air-
flow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
Recirculation When outside air contains
smoke, odors, or high hu-
midity, or if rapid cooling is
desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing the
183

Recirculation control button. The re-
circulation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Push the
button a second time to turn off the
Recirculation mode and allow outside
air into the vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of Recircula-
tion mode may lead to excessive
window fogging. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Re-
circulation mode is not allowed in
Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically 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.
AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
ATC Hard-keys are located in the cen-
ter of the instrument panel.
Soft-keys are accessible on the
Uconnect Touch™ system screen.Automatic Operation
1. Press the AUTO hard-key or soft-
key button (9) on the Automatic Tem-
perature Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you
would like the system to maintain by
adjusting the driver and passenger
temperature hard or soft control but-
tons (6, 7, 10, 11). Once the desired
temperature is displayed, the system
will achieve and automatically main-
tain that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
NOTE:
 It is not necessary to move the
temperature settings for cold or
hot vehicles. The system auto-
matically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode and blower speed to
provide comfort as quickly as
possible.
 The temperature can be dis- played in U.S. or Metric units by selecting the US/M customer-
programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect Touch™ System
Settings” in this section of the
manual.
To provide you with maximum com-
fort in the Automatic mode, during
cold start-ups the blower fan will re-
main on low until the engine warms
up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation
The system allows for manual selec-
tion of blower speed, air distribution
mode, A/C status and recirculation
control.
The blower fan speed can be set to any
fixed speed by adjusting the blower
control. The fan will now operate at a
fixed speed until additional speeds are
selected. This allows the front occu-
pants to control the volume of air
circulated in the vehicle and cancel
the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direc-
tion of the airflow by selecting one of
the available mode settings. A/C op-
184

eration and Recirculation control can
also be manually selected in Manual
operation.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this
section for suggested control set-
tings for various weather condi-
tions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system in air-
conditioned vehicles must be pro-
tected with a high-quality antifreeze
coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against en-
gine overheating. A solution of 50%
ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant and
50% water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode dur-
ing Winter months is not recom-
mended because it may cause window
fogging.Vacation Storage
Any time 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 the fresh air and high
blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can
be quickly removed by turning the
mode selector to Defrost. The Defrost/
Floor mode can be used to maintain a
clear windshield and provide suffi-
cient heating. If side window fogging
becomes a problem increase blower
speed. Vehicle windows tend to fog on
the inside in mild but rainy or humid
weather.
NOTE:
 Recirculate without A/C should
not be used for long periods, as
fogging may occur.  Automatic Temperature Con-
trols (ATC) will automatically
adjust the climate control set-
tings to reduce or eliminate win-
dow fogging on the front wind-
shield.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions 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.
A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters out-
side air containing dust, pollen and
some odors. Strong odors cannot be
totally filtered out. Refer to “Mainte-
nance Procedures” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for filter replacement
instructions.
