30GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the
key fob to unlock the doors or open any door.
They also turn on when unlocking or opening
manually from the driver door cylinder.
The lights will fade to off after approximately
30 seconds, or they will immediately fade to
off once the ignition switch is changed to the
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position from the
STOP (OFF/LOCK) position.
NOTE:
The front courtesy overhead console and
door courtesy lights will not turn off if the
dimmer control is in the “Dome ON” position.
The illuminated entry system will not operate
if the dimmer control is in the “Dome OFF”
position.
WIPERS AND WASHERS
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on
the right side of the steering column. There are
five different modes of operation for the front
windshield wipers. The windshield wiper lever
can be raised or lowered to access the modes.
NOTE:
The windshield wipers/washers will
only operate with the ignition in the
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever
Intermittent Wipers
Push the lever downward to the first detent and
rotate the center ring to use one of the four
intermittent wiper settings when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desirable.
Push the lever downward to the second detent,
and the wipers will operate at low speed. Push
the lever downward to the third detent, and the
wipers will operate at high speed.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel to
activate. The wipers will activate automatically
for three cycles after the lever is released, and
then resume the intermittent interval previously
selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the
wipers will operate for three cycles and then
turn off.

Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Push the lever upward to the MIST
position and release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed
on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Úpage 221.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direction
of air circulating throughout the vehicle. The
controls are located on the touchscreen (if
equipped) and on the instrument panel below
the radio.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
D
ESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Uconnect 3 With 5-inch Display With Manual Climate
Controls

The Manual Temperature Controls consist of a
series of three outer rotary dials (blower speed,
temperature and mode) and three inner push
buttons (Recirculation, A/C, Rear Window
Defroster).
A/C Button — If Equipped
Push the A/C button to engage the Air
Conditioning (A/C). The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on.
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 radi -
ator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front
of the radiator and through the condenser.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE221
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points
and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding
doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium-based grease, such
as Mopar Spray White Lube to ensure quiet,
easy operation and to protect against rust and
wear. Prior to the application of any lubricant,
the parts concerned should be wiped clean to
remove dust and grit; after lubricating, excess
oil and grease should be removed. Particular
attention should also be given to hood latching
components to ensure proper function. When
performing other underhood services, the hood
latch release mechanism, and safety catch
should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Autumn and
Spring. Apply a small amount of a high quality
lubricant, such as Mopar Lock Cylinder
Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber
out of contact with petroleum products such as
engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and frequency
of use. If chattering, marks, water lines or wet
spots are present, clean the wiper blades or
replace as necessary.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system; or if the exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle; or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged;
have an authorized technician inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system inspected
each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or
oil change. Replace as required.
