2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE display

Shared ModesThe VES™ and radio are capable of communi-
cating with each other. This allows the VES™ to
output radio audio to the headphones and the
radio to output VES™ audio to the vehicle
speakers. When the radio and VES™ are in the
same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be
visible on the radio’s display and the shared
icon will be visible on the VES™ screen. When
in shared mode, the same audio source is
heard in the headphones and vehicle speakers
simultaneously.
If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the
shared mode with the VES™, only the radio is
able to control the radio functions. In this case,
VES™ can share the radio mode, but not
change stations until the radio mode is changed
to a mode that is different from the VES™
selected radio mode. When shared, the radio
has priority over the VES™ or all radio modes(FM, AM, and SAT). The VES™ has the ability
to switch tuner (AM/FM/MW/LW), SEEK, TUNE,
and recall presets in radio modes as long as it is
not in shared mode.
When in shared disc or satellite video mode
both the radio and the VES™ have control of
the video functions. The VES™ has the ability to
control the following video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, and
Track Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/
Down and program all listed CD controls (Fast
Forward, Rewind, and Track Up/Down).
The VES™ can even control radio modes or video
modes while the radio is turned off. The VES™
can access the radio modes or disc modes by
navigating to those modes on the VES™ and
activating a radio mode or disc mode.

simply allowing the system to function automati-
cally.
NOTE:
•It is not necessary to move the tempera-

perature, mode and fan speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible. •
The temperature can be displayed in U.S.
or Metric units by selecting the US/M

Manual Operation
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features.

dently from each other. If any one feature is
controlled manually, temperature control
will continue to operate automatically. Blower Control

late the amount of air
forced through the sys-
tem in any mode you se-
lect. The blower speed
increases as you move

Panel ModeAir comes from the outlets in the in-
strument 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
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets, floor outlets and defrost outlets.
NOTE:
In many temperature positions, the Bi–Level
mode is designed 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 window demist outlets. This mode
works best in cold or snowy conditions.
It allows you to stay comfortable while keeping
the windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and
side window demist outlets. Use De-
frost mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side window
defrosting. When the defrost mode is selected,
the blower will automatically default to medium-
high unless the blower is controlled manually.
NOTE:
While operating in the other modes, the
system will not automatically sense the
presence of fog, mist or ice on the wind-
shield. Defrost mode must be manually se-
lected to clear the windshield and side
glass. Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the

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 in-
crease blower speed.
