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 auto-
matically maintain that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort
level, it is not necessary to change the
temperature. You will experience the great-
est efficiency by simply allowing the system
to function automatically.
NOTE:
•
It is not necessary to move the tempera-
ture settings. The system automatically
adjusts
the
temperature,
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 US/M
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect® Settings” in this section
of the manual.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic 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.
Manual Operation
The system allows for manual selection 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 oc-
cupants to control the volume of air circulated in
the vehicle and cancel the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direction of the
airflow by selecting one of the available mode
settings. A/C operation and Recirculation con-
trol can also be manually selected in Manual
operation.
Operating Tips
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this section
for suggested control settings for various
weather conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide
proper corrosion protection and to protect
against engine overheating. A solution of 50%
OAT (Organic Additive Technology) coolant that
meets the requirements of Chrysler Material
Standard MS-12106 and 50% water is recom-
mended. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for proper coolant
selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode during Winter
months is not recommended because it may
cause window fogging.
