WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the window
is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the
window before closing.
Power Windows System Initialization
The power windows may be reset if any of the following
occurs:
•On the front doors
• Fuse or battery are disconnected.
• Fuse or battery are disconnected when the window
is moving.
• 20 window movements without ever closing the
window.
• On the rear doors (in addition to the condition for the
front doors) •
One door opening movement with the window
moving, without ever closing the door.
Proceed as follows for initialization:
1. Completely close the driver’s door window, keeping the operating button pushed for at least five seconds
after the (upper) end of travel position.
2. Proceed in the same way on the passenger’s side door button and on the buttons of rear doors.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down in certain open or partially open posi-
tions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized.
If the buffeting occurs open the front windows together
to minimize the buffeting.

Air Distribution Selection
Rotate the Mode Control knob to manually select one of
the five possible air distribution settings in the passenger
compartment:Air flow to the front windshield, front side win-
dow and front/rear footwell diffusers.
Air flow to the front/rear footwell diffusers. This
air distribution allows the passenger compart-
ment to be heated quickly.
Air flow distributed between central and side
dashboard vents and front/rear footwell vents. Air flow to central/side dashboard vents (passen-
ger ’s body).
Air flow to windshield and side windows.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield
distribution activates the climate control system com-
pressor (LED on A/C button on) and the air recirculation
is set to outside air (LED on Recirculation Control
button off). This logic guarantees optimum visibility at
the windows. The user can always set air recirculation
and climate control system compressor.
System Maintenance
In winter, the climate control system must be turned on at
least once a month for about 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at a Ram dealership before the
summer.
