NOTE:
Opening the driver's door when the key is in the
ignition and the ignition switch position is STOP
(OFF/LOCK) sounds a signal to remove the key.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the
vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized
operation. When the Vehicle Security system is
activated, interior switches for door locks are
disabled. The system provides both audible and
visible signals. For the first three minutes, the
horn will sound, and the turn signal lights will
flash. For an additional 15 minutes, only the
turn signal lights will flash.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
To arm the system, the Vehicle Security system
will set when you use the key fob to lock the
doors. If a door or the hood is not properly shut,
the system will not be armed.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
Use the key fob to unlock the door and disarm
the system.
The Vehicle Security system will also disarm if a
programmed Sentry Key is inserted into the
ignition switch. To exit the alarming mode,
push the key fob unlock button, or insert a
programmed Sentry Key into the ignition switch. The Vehicle Security system is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle
Security system will rearm itself after the 15
additional minutes of turn lamps flashing. If the
condition which initiated the alarm is still
present, the system will ignore that condition
and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The Vehicle Security system will not arm/disarm
if you lock/unlock the doors using the manual
door lock.

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
D
ESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Uconnect 3 With 5-inch Display With Manual Climate
Controls

The Manual Temperature Controls consist of a
series of three outer rotary dials (blower speed,
temperature and mode) and three inner push
buttons (Recirculation, A/C, Rear Window
Defroster).
A/C Button — If Equipped
Push the A/C button to engage the Air
Conditioning (A/C). The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on.
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 needed.
If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front of the radi -
ator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front
of the radiator and through the condenser.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.

Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to
change the system between
recirculation mode and outside air
mode. The Recirculation indicator and
the A/C indicator illuminate when the
Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation
can be used when outside conditions such as
smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are
present. Recirculation can be used in all modes
except for Defrost. Recirculation may be
unavailable if conditions exist that could create
fogging on the inside of the windshield. The A/C
can be deselected manually without disturbing
the mode control selection. Continuous use of
the Recirculation mode may make the inside air
stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended
use of this mode is not recommended.
On systems with Manual Climate Controls, if
equipped, the Recirculation mode is not
allowed in Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation is disabled
automatically if this mode is selected.
Attempting to use Recirculation while in this
mode causes the LED in the control button to
blink and then turns off.
Front Defrost Mode
Turn the mode control knob to the
Front Defrost position. Air comes from
the windshield and side window
demist outlets. When the defrost
button is selected, the blower level may
increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum
temperature settings for best windshield and
side window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost
Control button to turn on the rear
window defroster and the heated
outside mirrors (if equipped). The
Rear Defrost indicator illuminates when the rear
window defroster is ON. The rear window
defroster automatically turns OFF after
20 minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild
washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.

Temperature Control
Temperature Control regulates the temperature
of the air forced through the climate system.
The temperature increases as you
turn the temperature control knob
clockwise.
The temperature decreases as you
turn the temperature control knob
counterclockwise.
Blower Control
Blower Control regulates the amount
of air forced through the climate
system. There are seven blower
speeds available. The blower speed
increases as you turn the blower control knob
clockwise from the lowest blower setting. The
blower speed decreases as you turn the blower
control knob counterclockwise.
NOTE:
Depending on the configuration, your vehicle
may be equipped with four blower speeds.
Mode Control
Turn the mode control knob to change
the airflow distribution mode. The
airflow distribution mode can be
adjusted so air comes from the
instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost
outlets and demist outlets.
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. Each of these
outlets can be individually adjusted to
direct the flow of air. The air vanes of
the center outlets and outboard outlets can be
moved up and down or side to side to regulate
airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel
located below the air vents to shut off or adjust
the amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode

Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through
the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort condi
-
tions to provide cooler air out of the panel
outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets.
A slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor,
defrost, and side window demister
outlets. This setting works best in cold
or snowy conditions that require extra
heat to the windshield. This setting is good for
maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
Climate Control OFF
To turn the Climate Controls off, turn
the blower control knob to the OFF (O)
position.
