Automatic Temperature Control (Atc) - If Equipped - Dodge Durango SRT 2018 Owner's Manual

Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) — If Equipped
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the front ATC
Panel and the word "AUTO" will illuminate in
the front ATC display, along with two tem-
peratures for the driver and front passenger.
The system will then automatically regulate
the amount of airflow.
2. Adjust the temperature you would like the
system to maintain, by adjusting the driver,
passenger, and rear temperatures. Once the
desired temperature is displayed, the system
will achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort
level, it is not necessary to change the set-
tings. You will experience the greatest effi-
ciency 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 fan speed to
provide comfort as quickly as possible.
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 fan will engage immediately if
the Defrost mode is selected, or by changing the
front blower knob setting.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features. The AUTO symbol in the front
ATC display will be turned off when the system
is being used in the manual mode.
NOTE:
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.
Rear Blower Control
The rear blower control can be manually set to
off, or any fixed blower speed by pushing the
blower control buttons. This allows the rear seat
occupants to control the volume of air circulated
in the rear of the vehicle. Turn the control knob
to increase or decrease the fan speed.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Automatic Tempera-
ture Control System through an intake grille,
located in the right side trim panel behind the
third row seats. The heater outlets are located
in the right side trim panel, just behind the
sliding door. Do not block or place objects
directly in front of the inlet grille or heater
outlets. The electrical system could overload
causing damage to the blower motor.
Rear Temperature Control
To change the temperature in the rear of the
vehicle, push the temperature buttons. The rear
temperature settings are displayed in the rear
ATC panel.
When rear controls are locked by the front
system, the Rear Temperature Lock symbol on
the ATC panel is illuminated and any rear over-
head adjustments are ignored.
When the Sync feature is active, the rear tem-
perature is synchronized to the driver's tem-
perature setting. If the rear temperature is
changed, the Sync feature will deactivate.
