CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the opera-
tor to manually activate or deactivate the air condition-
ing system. When the air conditioning system is turned

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
is ON.

Recirculation ControlWhen 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.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.

NOTE:In many temperature positions, the BI-LEVEL
mode is designed to provide cooler air out of the head-
liner outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
• Floor Mode Air comes from the floor outlets.
Operating Tips
NOTE: Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather condi-
tions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper cor-
rosion protection and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% OAT (Organic Additive
Technology) coolant that meets the requirements of
Fiat Classification 9.55522 and 50% water is recom-
mended. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Ser-
vice 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 blower
speed. 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.
• Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will auto- matically adjust the climate control settings to re-
duce or eliminate window fogging on the front wind-
shield. When this occurs, recirculation will be
unavailable.

HEADLIGHT SWITCHThe headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel. This switch controls the
operation of the headlights, parking lights, in-
strument panel lights, instrument panel light dimming,
interior lights and fog lights.
(fig. 62)
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® System, refer
to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle”
for further information.

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® System, refer to “Uconnect® Set-
tings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” 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. 63)
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.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminates
when the fog lights are turned on.
