instrument panel or through the Uconnect® 8.4 system
display if equipped.
When the Uconnect® 8.4 system is in different modes
(Radio, Player, Settings, More, etc.) the driver and pas-
senger temperature settings will be indicated at the top of
the display.
Manual Heating And Air Conditioning — If
Equipped
The Manual Temperature Controls consist of a series of
outer rotary dials and inner push knobs.
1. Blower Control

NOTE: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 performance.
4. Air Conditioning Control
Press this button to engage the Air Conditioning. A light
will illuminate when the Air Conditioning system is
engaged. Rotating the dial left into the blue area of the
scale indicates cooler temperatures, while rotating right
into the red area indicates warmer temperatures.
NOTE:The air conditioning compressor will not engage
until the engine has been running for about 10 seconds.
•MAX A/C
For maximum cooling use the A/C and recirculation
buttons at the same time.
•ECONOMY MODE
If economy mode is desired, press the A/C button to
turn OFF the indicator light and the A/C compressor.
Then, move the temperature control to the desired
temperature and select only Panel, Bi-Level or Floor
modes.
5. Mode Control (Air Direction)
Rotate this control to choose from several patterns of air
distribution. You can select either a primary mode as
identified by the symbols on the control, or a blend of
two of these modes. The closer the setting is to a
particular symbol, the more air distribution you receive
from that mode.
•Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the
instrument panel. These outlets can be ad-
justed to direct airflow.
