Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate
the air conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu
-
midified air will flow through the outlets into
t
he 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. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor modes.
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 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
c
ooling p
erformance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C
and the p
rior settings. The button illuminates
when MAX A/C is on.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position
can be ad
justed to desired user settings.
Pressing other settings will cause the MAX A/C
operation to switch to the selected setting and
MAX A/C to exit.
Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode
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
on the Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would
like the
system to maintain by adjusting
the driver and passenger temperature
control buttons. Once the desired
temperature is displayed, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your
comfort
level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will 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 au
tomatically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode, and blower speed to provide
c
omfort a
s quickly as possible.
The temperature can be displayed in U.S.
or Metric units by selecting the US/Metric
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
in your Owner’s Manual for further infor
-
mation.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
A
utomatic
mode during cold start-ups, the
blower fan will remain on low until the
engine warms up. The blower will increase in
speed and transition into Auto mode.
