The Climate Control system allows you to regulate the temperature, air flow, and direction of air circulating throughout the vehicle. The controls are located on the touchscreen and on the instrument panel below the radio.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Uconnect 5 With 7-inch Display Automatic Temperature Controls

Uconnect 5/5 NAV With 10.1-inch Display Automatic Temperature Controls

MAX A/C BUTTON

Press and release the MAX A/C button on the touchscreen to change the current setting to the coldest output of air. The MAX A/C indicator illuminates when MAX A/C is on. Pressing the button again will cause the MAX A/C operation to exit.

Note:

The MAX A/C setting is only available on the touchscreen.

A/C BUTTON

Press and release the button on the touchscreen, or push the button on the faceplate to change the current setting. The indicator illuminates when A/C is on.

Note:

If the system is in Mix 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 not operating in AUTO mode, the system will not automatically sense the presence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield. Defrost Mode must be manually selected to clear the windshield and side glass.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass, select Defrost Mode and adjust blower speed if needed.

RECIRCULATION BUTTON

Press and release the Recirculation button on the touchscreen, or press the button on the faceplate, to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air. 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. Recirculation may be unavailable (button on the touchscreen grayed out) 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 Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended. Recirculation mode may automatically adjust to optimize customer experience for warming, cooling, dehumidification, etc.

AUTO BUTTON

Set your desired temperature and press the AUTO button on the touchscreen, or push the button on the faceplate. AUTO will achieve and maintain your desired temperature by automatically adjusting the blower speed and air distribution. Air Conditioning (A/C) may be active during AUTO operation to improve performance. AUTO mode is highly recommended for efficiency. You can turn AUTO on in one of two ways:

Press and release this button on the touchscreen
Push the button on the faceplate

Toggling this function will cause the system to switch between manual mode and automatic mode "⇨Automatic Operation".

FRONT DEFROST BUTTON

Press and release the Front Defrost button on the touchscreen, or push the button on the faceplate to change the current airflow setting to Defrost mode. The indicator illuminates when this feature is on. 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. Performing this function will cause the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to switch into manual mode. If the Front Defrost mode is turned off the climate system will return to the previous setting.

REAR DEFROST BUTTON

Press and release the Rear Defrost Control button on the touchscreen or push and release the button on the faceplate to turn on the rear window defroster and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator will illuminate when the rear window defroster is on. The rear window defroster automatically turns off after 15 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.

FRONT TEMPERATURE CONTROL

These buttons provide the driver and passenger with independent temperature control.

Push the red button on the faceplate or touchscreen or press and slide the temperature bar towards the red arrow button on the touchscreen for warmer temperature settings.

Note:

The temperature can also be adjusted by pressing the Temperature readout on the top left and right corners of the status bar.

SYNC BUTTON

Press the SYNC button on the touchscreen to toggle the SYNC feature on/off. The SYNC indicator is illuminated when this feature is enabled. SYNC is used to synchronize the front and rear passenger temperature settings with the driver temperature setting. Changing the front or rear passenger temperature setting while in SYNC will automatically exit this feature.

Note:

The SYNC setting is only available on the touchscreen.

BLOWER CONTROL

Blower Control regulates the amount of air forced through the climate control system. There are seven blower speeds available. Adjusting the blower will cause automatic mode to switch to manual operation. The speeds can be selected using either the blower control knob on the faceplate or the buttons on the touchscreen.

Faceplate: 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.
Touchscreen: Blower speed can be selected by pressing the blower bar area between the icons. Press the desired blower speed from 1-7.

MODE CONTROL

The airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets.

Faceplate: Push the button in the center of the knob to change the airflow distribution mode.

Touchscreen: Select Mode by pressing one of the Mode Buttons on the touchscreen.

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 vanes 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 conditions 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 BUTTON

Press and release this button on the touchscreen or push and release the button on the faceplate to turn the Climate Control ON/OFF.
