2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN seats

Rear Blower Control
The primary control for the rear blower is on the front
climate control unit, located on the instrument panel.
Only when the front control for the rear blower is in the
REARposition do the second row seat occupants have
control of the rear blower speed.
The rear blower control, located in the rear overhead
console, has an off position and a range of blower speeds.
This allows the second row seat occupants to control the
volume of air circulated in the rear of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Manual Climate Control
system through an intake grille, located in the right
side trim panel behind the third row seats. The heater
outlets are located in the right side trim panel, just
behind the sliding door. Do not block or place objects
directly in front of the inlet grille or heater outlets. The
electrical system could overload, causing damage to the
blower motor.
Rear Temperature Control
The rear mode selection REAR,allows the settings to be
controlled by the rear mode control knob.
To change the temperature in the rear of the vehicle, rotate
the temperature control knob counterclockwise for cold air,
and clockwise for heated air.
When rear controls are locked by the front system, the lock
symbol on the temperature knob is illuminated, and the
rear overhead adjustments are inoperable.
Rear Mode Control
Headliner Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the headliner. Each of
these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct
the flow of air. Moving the air vanes of the outlets to one
side will shut off the airflow.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from both the headliner outlets and the
floor outlets.
NOTE: In many temperature positions, the Bi-Level mode
is designed to provide cooler air out of the headliner
outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.

Once the desired temperature is displayed, the ATC System
will automatically achieve and maintain that comfort level.
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 func-
tion automatically.
NOTE:
•It is not necessary to move the temperature settings. The
system automatically adjusts the temperature, mode and
fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in English or Metric
units by selecting the “Display Units of Measure in”
customer-programmable feature. Refer to the “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in this Section.
Rear Blower Control
The rear blower control knob can be manually set to off, or
any fixed blower speed, by rotating the knob from low to
high. This allows the rear seat occupants to control the
volume of air circulated in the rear of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Automatic Temperature
Control System through an intake grille, located in the
right side trim panel behind the third row seats. The
heater outlets are located in the right side trim panel,
just behind the sliding door. Do not block or place
objects directly in front of the inlet grille or heater
outlets. The electrical system could overload causing
damage to the blower motor.
Rear Temperature Control
To change the temperature in the rear of the vehicle, rotate
the temperature knob counterclockwise to lower the tem-
perature, and clockwise to increase the temperature. The
rear temperature settings are displayed in the front ATC
panel.
When rear controls are locked by the front system, the Rear
Temperature Lock symbol on the temperature knob is
illuminated and any rear overhead adjustments are ig-
nored.

tem” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next
time the vehicle is started. See your authorized dealer as

abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
•For chrome wheels, use MOPAR Chrome Cleaner or
equivalent. •
For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or
metal polishes. Do not use oven cleaner. These prod-
ucts may damage the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheel’s protective finish.
Only MOPAR Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recom-
mended.

to a clean, damp cloth and remove stain. Use a fresh,
damp towel to remove soap residue.

Interior Care
Use MOPAR Total Clean to clean fabric upholstery and
carpeting.
Use MOPAR Total Clean to clean vinyl upholstery.
MOPAR Total Clean is specifically recommended for
leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved by regular
cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can
act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and
should be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn
soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and MOPAR
Total Clean. Care should be taken to avoid soaking your
leather upholstery with any liquid. Please do not use
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your leather upholstery.
Application of a leather conditioner is not required to
maintain the original condition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes.
Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed
areas they may cause respiratory harm.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect repellents, sun-
tan lotions, or hand sanitizers to the plastic, painted, or
decorated surfaces of the interior may cause permanent
damage. Wipe away immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage caused by these type of products may not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/or Keton
based cleaning products to clean leather seats, as
damage to the seat may result.
