MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling
performance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C
and the prior settings. The button illuminates
when MAX A/C is on.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position

ing other settings will cause the MAX A/C op-
eration to switch to the selected setting and
MAX A/C to exit.
Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high
humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may
wish to recirculate interior air by pressing the
Recirculation control button. The recirculation
indicator will illuminate when this button is se-
lected. Press the button a second time to turn off
the Recirculation mode and allow outside air
into the vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation mode
may lead to excessive window fogging. The
recirculation feature may be unavailable
(button on the touchscreen greyed out) if
conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield. On systems
with Manual Climate Controls, the Recircula-
tion mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recir-
culation will be disabled automatically if this
102
mode is selected. Attempting to use Recir-
culation while in this mode will cause the
LED in the control button to blink and then
turn off.
Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) — If Equipped
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate, or
the AUTO button on the touchscreen on the
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Adjust the temperature you would like the
system to maintain by adjusting the driver
and passenger temperature control buttons.
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 tempera-
ture settings for cold or hot vehicles. The
system automatically adjusts the tem-
perature, mode, and blower speed to pro-
vide comfort as quickly as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in U.S.
or Metric units by selecting the US/Metric
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
"Uconnect 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
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 wind-
shield. DEFROST mode must be manually
selected to clear the windshield and side
glass.
