Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the knob counter-
clockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indicates cooler temperatures. Rotating the knob clockwise,
into the red area, indicates warmer temperatures.
Blower Control
There are four blower speeds. Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the system in any mode you
select. The blower speed increases as you move the control clockwise from the OFF position.
Modes Control
Push the button in the center of the knob to change the airflow distribution mode. The airflow distribution mode can be
adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets. The Mode set-
tings are as follows:
Panel Mode
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow
of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate
airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from
these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
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 outlets.GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside of
the glass in mild, rainy and/or humid weather.
Windows may frost on the inside of the glass
in very cold weather. To clear the windows,
select Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the Recircu-
lation 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 obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air
intake may reduce airflow, can cause odor,
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 outside air
containing dust, pollen and some odors.
Strong odors cannot be totally filtered out.
Refer to “Dealer Service” in “Servicing and
Maintenance” in your Owner’s Manual on
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html
(U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca
(Canadian Residents) for filter replacement
instructions.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds
as a bulb check when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN position. If the
light is either not on during startup, stays on,
or turns on while driving, have the system
inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. This light will illuminate with a
single chime when a fault with the Air Bag
Warning Light has been detected, it will stay
on until the fault is cleared. If the light comes
on intermittently or remains on while driving,
have an authorized dealer service the vehicle
immediately.
— Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there
is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
31

If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master cylinder
reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hy-
draulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condi-
tion has been corrected. If the problem is
related to the brake booster, the ABS pump
will run when applying the brake, and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci-
fied level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid
level conditions. The vehicle should have
service performed, and the brake fluid level
checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair
is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light
on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the vehicle. You could have a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is re-
quired.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately
two seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illumi-
nate, have the light inspected by your autho-
rized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
— Battery Charge Warning Light
This light illuminates when the battery is not
charging properly. If it stays on while the
engine is running, there may be a malfunc-
tion with the charging system. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the
electrical system or a related component.
— Door Open Warning Light
This indicator will illuminate when one or
more door(s) are not fully closed.

WARNING!
Light is illuminated you could cause the
fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and cause a
fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated
will eventually cause severe transmission
damage or transmission failure.
— Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/
RUN or MAR/ON/RUN position, if the driver’s
seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound
and the light will turn on. When driving, if the
driver or front passenger seat belt remains
unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will
flash or remain on continuously and a chime
will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints
Systems” in “Safety” for further information.
— Transmission Fault Warning Light
This light will illuminate (together with a
message in the instrument cluster display
and a buzzer) to indicate a transmission
fault. Contact your authorized dealer if the
message remains after restarting the engine.
— Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This warning light appears on the panel when
the engine oil level falls below the minimum
recommended value. Restore the correct en-
gine oil level or contact your authorized
dealer for service.
Yellow Warning Lights
— Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Warning
Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem (ABS). The light will turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or MAR/ON/
RUN position and may stay on for as long as
four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the
brake system is not functioning and service is required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if
the brake warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system
should be serviced as soon as possible to
restore the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If
the ABS light does not turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or MAR/ON/
RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
— Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches approximately
2–6 gal (9–11 L) this light will turn on, and
remain on until fuel is added.
— Generic Warning Light
The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if
any of the following conditions occur: Engine
Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, External Light
Failure, Parking Sensor Failure, DST System
Failure, Stop/Start failure, or Air Bag telltale
recovery.
The telltale will blink in case of Air Bag
Warning Light Failure. Contact an authorized
dealer immediately for service.
