11. Blower Control
Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air
forced through the climate system. There are seven
blower speeds available. Adjusting the blower will
cause automatic mode to switch to manual operation.
The speeds can be selected using either hard-keys or
soft-keys as follows:
Hard-key
The blower speed increases as you turn the control

setting. Blower can also be selected by pressing the
blower bar area between the icons.
12. 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 Mode
Air 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.

NOTE:
• 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 behind the radiator and through the condenser.
Fabric front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to
the condenser, reducing air conditioning perfor-
mance.
MAX A/C

formance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and the
prior settings. The soft-key illuminates when MAX A/C

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). 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.

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
Automatic Operation
1. Press the AUTO hard-key or soft-key button (4) onthe Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain by adjusting the driver and pas-
senger temperature hard or soft control buttons
(7, 8, 13, 14). Once the desired temperature is
displayed, the system will achieve and automatically
maintain 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 for cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically
adjusts the temperature, mode, and blower speed to
provide comfort as quickly as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric units by selecting the US/M customer-programmable
feature. Refer to the “Uconnect® System Settings”
in this section of the manual. To provide you with maximum comfort in the Auto-
matic mode, during cold start-ups the blower fan will
remain on low until the engine warms up. The blower
will increase in speed and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
The system allows for manual selection of blower
speed, air distribution mode, A/C status and recircula-
tion control.
The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed speed by
adjusting the blower control. The fan will now operate
at a fixed speed until additional speeds are selected.
This allows the front occupants to control the volume
of air circulated in the vehicle and cancel the Auto
mode.
The operator can also select the direction of the
airflow by selecting one of the available mode settings.
A/C operation and Recirculation control can also be
manually selected in Manual operation.
