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 cooling perfor-
mance.

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)

Automatic Operation

1. Push the AUTO button on the front ATC Panel and the

word “AUTO” will illuminate in the front ATC display,
along with two temperatures for the driver and front
passenger. The system will then automatically regulate
the amount of airflow.

2. Adjust the temperature you would like the system to

maintain, by adjusting the driver, passenger, and rear
temperatures. Once the desired temperature is dis-
played, 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 experience
the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to
function automatically.

NOTE:
• It is not necessary to move the temperature settings. The

system automatically adjusts the temperature, mode and
fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as possible.

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 fan will engage
immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by changing
the front blower knob setting.

Manual Operation Override

This system offers a full complement of manual override
features. The AUTO symbol in the front ATC display will
be turned off when the system is being used in the manual
mode.

NOTE:

The system will not automatically sense the pres-

ence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield. DEFROST mode
must be manually selected to clear the windshield and side
glass.

Rear Blower Control

The rear blower control can be manually set to off, or any
fixed blower speed by pushing the blower control buttons.
This allows the rear seat occupants to control the volume of
air circulated in the rear of the vehicle. Turn the control
knob to increase or decrease the fan speed.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

101

CAUTION!

Interior air enters the Rear Automatic Temperature
Control System through an intake grille, located in the
right side trim panel behind the third row seats. The
heater outlets are located in the right side trim panel,
just behind the sliding door. Do not block or place
objects directly in front of the inlet grille or heater
outlets. The electrical system could overload causing
damage to the blower motor.

Rear Temperature Control

To change the temperature in the rear of the vehicle, push
the temperature buttons. The rear temperature settings are
displayed in the rear ATC panel.

When rear controls are locked by the front system, the Rear
Temperature Lock symbol on the ATC panel is illuminated
and any rear overhead adjustments are ignored.

When the Sync feature is active, the rear temperature is
synchronized to the driver’s temperature setting. If the rear
temperature is changed, the Sync feature will deactivate.

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) cool-
ant that meets the requirements of FCA Material Standard
MS.90032 and 50% water is recommended. Refer to “Fluids
and Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for proper
coolant selection.

Winter Operation

Use of the Air Recirculation mode during winter months is
not recommended because it may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage

Before 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 fresh air with the
blower setting on high. This will ensure adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor dam-
age 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
sufficient heating. If side window fogging becomes objection-
able, increase blower speed to improve airflow and clearing of
the side windows. 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 Controls (ATC) will automati-

cally adjust the climate control settings to reduce or
eliminate window fogging on the front windshield.
When this occurs, recirculation will be unavailable.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-

dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heat-
ing elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.

• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive

window cleaners on the interior surface of the win-
dow.

• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

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, 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” for filter replacement instructions.

Wind Buffeting

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or
partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and
can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear windows together
to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the
sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.

POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED

The power sunroof switch is located between the sun
visors on the overhead console.
