The operator can override the AUTO mode
setting to change airflow distribution by ro-
tating the Mode Control knob (on the right).
Operating Tips
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this section
for suggested control settings for various
weather conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to pro-
vide proper corrosion protection and to pro-
tect against engine overheating. OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Refer to “Dealer Service” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” in your Owner’s Manual on
www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals for proper
coolant selection.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling
system is functioning properly and the proper
amount, type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Dealer Service” in “Servicing
And Maintenance” in your Owner’s Manual on
www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals for proper
coolant selection. Use of the air Recircula-
tion mode during Winter months is not rec-
ommended because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation/Storage
Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out
of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in fresh air with the
blower setting in high. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside of
the glass in mild, rainy and/or humid weather.
Windows may frost on the inside of the glass
in very cold weather. To clear the windows,
select Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the Recircu-
lation mode without A/C for long periods, as
fogging may occur.
NOTE:
Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will
automatically adjust the climate control set-
tings to reduce or eliminate window fogging
on the front windshield. When this occurs,
recirculation will be unavailable.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air
intake may reduce airflow, can cause odor,
and if they enter the plenum they could plug
the water drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and snow.
A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters outside air
containing dust, pollen and some odors.
Strong odors cannot be totally filtered out.
Refer to “Dealer Service” in “Servicing And
Maintenance” in your Owner’s Manual on
www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals for filter
replacement instructions.
