The Climate Control system carries out the following
operations:
•Turns on the air conditioning compressor when en-
vironmental conditions are suitable.
• Turns air recirculation off.
• Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
• Directs air flow to windshield and front side window
diffusers.
• Activates the heated rear window defrost.
• Activates the heated windshield (if equipped).
• Displays the fan speed (Blower Control Indicator
LED illuminated).
When the function is activated, the AUTO button LED
turns off. With the function activated, the only possible
manual adjustments are pushing the A/C control but-
ton, adjusting the fan speed and turning the heated rear
window off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons are
pushed, the Climate Control system will deactivate the
Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function. Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield
distribution activates the Climate Control system com-
pressor and the air recirculation is set to outside air
intake.
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the win-
dows. Max-defrost is also available in manual mode.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost button to turn
the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the rear
defrost indicator light on the instrument panel turning
on. The function is automatically deactivated after 20
minutes. If equipped, push the rear defrost button to
activate the defrosting of door mirrors and heated rear
window.
CAUTION!
To avoid causing damage to the rear window de-
froster heating filaments do not affix stickers or
other objects to the inside of the rear glass.

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while driving
the vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than 180
Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not damage the
socket by using unsuitable adaptors. If the 180 Watt
(15 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protect-
ing the system will need to be replaced.
CAUTION!

power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

rized dealer through MOPAR parts. To ensure proper
cigar lighter operation, a MOPAR knob and element
must be used.
