11. Modes
The airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so air
comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets,
demist outlets and defrost outlets. The Mode settings
are as follows:
• Panel ModeAir comes from the outlets in the instrument
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 and
floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window demister outlets.
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.

ally adjust the blower and airflow mode settings. Also,
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

tion feature may be unavailable (soft button greyed
out). The Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost
mode to improve window clearing operation. Recircu-
lation will be disabled automatically if this mode is
selected. Attempting to use Recirculation while in this
mode will cause the LED in the control button to blink
and then turn off.Rear Manual Temperature Control
(MTC) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The rear MTC system has floor air outlets at the rear
right side of the 3rd Row seats and overhead outlets at
each outboard rear seating position. The system pro-
vides heated air through the floor outlets or cool,
dehumidified air through the headliner outlets.
The rear system temperature control soft-keys are
located in the Uconnect® touch system, located on
the instrument panel.
