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.
Floor Mode Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the defrost
and side window demister outlets.
Mix Mode Air comes from the floor, defrost and side win-
dow demist outlets. This mode works best in
cold or snowy conditions.
Defrost Mode Air comes from the windshield and side window
demist outlets. Use Defrost mode with maxi-
mum temperature settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging. When the defrost
mode is selected, the blower level may will increase.

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 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 per-
formance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and the
prior settings. The soft-key illuminates when MAX A/C
is ON.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position can
be adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other
settings will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the prior settings and the MAX A/C indicator will turn
off.
Recirculation Control
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired,
you may wish to recirculate interior air by
pressing the Recirculation control button.
The recirculation indicator will illuminate when this
button is selected. Push the button a second time to
turn off the Recirculation mode and allow outside air
into the vehicle.
NOTE: In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode
may lead to excessive window fogging. The recircula-
tion feature may be unavailable (soft button greyed out)
if conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield. The Recirculation mode is not
allowed in Defrost mode to improve window clearing
operation. Recirculation will be disabled automatically
if these modes are selected. Attempting to use Recir-
culation while in these modes will cause the LED in the
control button to blink and then turn off.

Summer Operation
The engine cooling system in air-conditioned vehicles
must be protected with a high-quality antifreeze cool-
ant to provide proper corrosion protection and to
protect against engine overheating. A solution of 50%
ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant and 50% water is
recommended. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in
“Servicing And Care” 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
Any time 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
the fresh air and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility
of compressor damage when the system is started
again.
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly re-
moved 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 win-
dow fogging becomes a problem, increase the blowerspeed. Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild but rainy or humid weather.
NOTE:
Recirculation mode without A/C should not
be used 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,
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 contain-
ing dust, pollen and some odors. Strong odors cannot
be totally filtered out. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Servicing And Care” for filter replacement
instructions.

operation of the headlights, parking lights, in-
strument panel lights, instrument panel light dimming,
interior lights and fog lights. (fig. 49)
Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first
detent for parking light and instrument panel light
operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the second
detent for headlight, parking light and instrument panel
light operation. AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off
according to ambient light levels. To turn the system
on, rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise to
the AUTO position. When the system is on, the
headlight time delay feature is also on. This means the
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you
turn the ignition switch OFF. To turn the automatic
system off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS
(AVAILABLE WITH AUTOMATIC
HEADLIGHTS ONLY)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on
approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned
on if the headlight switch is placed in the AUTO
position. In addition, the headlights will turn off when
the wipers are turned off if they were turned on by this
feature.
NOTE: The Headlights On with Wipers feature can
be turned on and off using the Uconnect Touch™
System, refer to “Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Knowing Your Vehicle” for further information.(fig. 49) Headlight Switch

HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumina-
tion for up to 90 seconds when leaving your vehicle in
an unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, turn OFF the ignition
switch while the headlights are still on. Then, turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval
begins when the headlight switch is turned off.
NOTE:The lights must be turned off within 45
seconds of turning the ignition OFF to activate this
feature.
If you turn the headlights, park lights or ignition switch
ON again, the system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they
will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE: The Headlight Time Delay is programmable
using the Uconnect Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in “Knowing Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the
ignition is turned OFF, a chime will sound to alert the
driver when the driver's door is opened. FRONT AND REAR FOG LIGHTS (for
versions/markets, where provided)
The front and rear fog light switch is built into the
headlight switch.
(fig. 50)
The front and rear fog lights may be operated as desired when visibility is poor due to fog. The
fog lights will activate in the following order:
Press the headlight switch once and the front
fog lights come on. Press the switch a second
time and the rear fog lights will come on (front fog
lights stay on). Press the switch a third time and the
rear fog lights turn off (front fog stays on). Press the
switch a fourth times and the front fog turns off. For
vehicles without front fog, rear fog will activate on the
first press.

show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there
is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever
is moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC (for versions/markets, where provided) and a con-
tinuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more
