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). 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 button on the faceplate or on the touchscreen (4) on the 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 control buttons (8, 9, 14, 15).
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.
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.

INTERIOR LIGHTS
The interior lights come on when a door is opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition switch is
moved to the LOCK position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are on
because a door is open. This includes the glove box
light, but not the trunk light. To restore interior light
operation, either turn the ignition switch ON or cycle
the light switch.
DIMMER CONTROLS
The dimmer control is part of the headlight switch and
is located on the drivers side of the instrument panel.
(fig. 61)
Rotating the dimmer control upward with the parking
lights or headlights on will increase the brightness of
the instrument panel lights.
DOME LIGHT POSITION
Rotate the dimmer control completely upward to the
second detent to turn on the interior lights. The
interior lights will remain on when the dimmer control
is in this position.
INTERIOR LIGHT DEFEAT (OFF)
Rotate the dimmer control to the extreme bottom off
position. The interior lights will remain off when the
doors are open.
PARADE MODE (DAYTIME BRIGHTNESS

5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire andreinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically and the
TPMS Telltale Light will turn off, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for at least
20 minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and
the TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. Upon the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or
turn on the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light. To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds.
PREMIUM SYSTEM — (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wire-
less technology with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem,
transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
• Receiver module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System messages, which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
WarningsThe Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of
the four active road tires. In addition, the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a
graphic showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different color. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with low pressure (those displayed
in a different color in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value as shown in
the "Inflate Tire to XXX" message.
NOTE: When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Once the system receives the updated tire pressures,
the system will automatically update, the graphic dis-
play in the EVIC will return to the original color, and
the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information. ServiceTPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum of
five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
