Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC)
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate or
press the “AUTO” button on the touchscreen.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like
the system to maintain by adjusting the
driver and passenger temperature buttons
on the faceplate or buttons on the touch-
screen. Once the desired temperature is
displayed, the system will achieve and auto-
matically maintain that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort
level, it is not necessary to change the
temperature. You will experience the great-
est efficiency by simply allowing the system
to function automatically.
NOTE:
•
It is not necessary to move the temperature
settings. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, mode, and blower speed
to provide comfort as quickly as possible.
•
The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or
Metric units by selecting the Uconnect®
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect® System Settings” in this
section of the manual.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic mode, during cold start-ups the
blower fan will remain on low until the engine
warms up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
The system allows for manual selection of
blower speed, air distribution mode, A/C status
and recirculation control.
The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed
speed by adjusting the blower control. The fan
will now operate at a fixed speed until additional
speeds are selected. This allows the front oc-
cupants to control the volume of air circulated in
the vehicle and cancel the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direction of the
airflow by selecting one of the available mode
settings. A/C operation and Recirculation con-
trol can also be manually selected in Manual
operation.
NOTE:
Each of these features operates indepen-
dently from each other. If any feature is
controlled manually, temperature control
will continue to operate automatically.
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 provide
proper corrosion protection and to protect
against engine overheating. OAT coolant (con-
forming to MS.90032) is recommended. Refer
to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for proper coolant selection.
