The A/C indicator illuminates when A/C is

on.

Recirculation Button

Press and release this button on the

touchscreen, or push the button on the

faceplate, 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. Recirculation may be

unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed

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 the

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.

In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may

lead to excessive window fogging. The

Recirculation feature may be unavailable if

conditions exist that could create fogging on the

inside of the windshield.

Auto Button

Set your desired temperature and press

AUTO. AUTO will achieve and maintain

your desired temperature by

automatically adjusting the blower speed

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 (conforming to

MS.90032) is recommended.

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. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during

Winter months is not recommended, because it

may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage

For information on maintaining the Climate Control

system when the vehicle is being stored for an

extended period of time, see

Ú

page 427.

Window Fogging

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild,

rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the

windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase

the front blower speed. Do not use the

Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods,

as fogging may occur.

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, and if they enter the air distribution

box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter

months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,

slush, and snow.

Cabin Air Filter

The Climate Control system filters out dust and

pollen from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to

service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced

when needed.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:



Only devices designed for use in this type of

outlet.



Do not touch with wet hands.



Close the lid when not in use and while driving



If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an

electric shock and failure.

CAUTION!



Many accessories that can be plugged in draw

power from the vehicle's battery, even when

not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventu

-

ally, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's

battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade

battery life and/or prevent the engine from

starting.



Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,

coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will

discharge the battery even more quickly. Only

use these intermittently and with greater

caution.



After the use of high power draw accessories,

or long periods of the vehicle not being started

(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle

must be driven a sufficient length of time to

allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's

QUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi

wireless charging pad located inside of the center

console. This charging pad is designed to

wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi

is a standard that uses magnetic induction to

transfer power to your mobile device.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi

wireless charging. If the phone is not equipped

with Qi wireless charging functionality, an

aftermarket sleeve or a specialized back plate can

be purchased from your mobile phone provider or

a local electronics retailer. Please see your

phone’s owner’s manual for further information.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an

anti-slip mat to hold your mobile phone in place

and an LED indicator light.
LED Indicator Status:



No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a

device.



Blue Light: Device is detected, and is charging.



Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign

object is detected.

NOTE:

Using a phone case may interfere with wireless

charging.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:



Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.



Do not touch with wet hands.



Close the lid when not in use.



If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an

electric shock and failure.

CAUTION!

The key fob should not be placed on the

charging pad or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it.

Doing so can cause excessive heat buildup and

damage to the fob. Placing the fob in close

proximity of the charging pad blocks the fob from

being detected by the vehicle and prevents the

vehicle from starting.
