Jeep Compass Operating Information Manual page 150

The operator can override the AUTO mode
setting to change airflow distribution by rotating
the Mode Control knob (on the right) to one of
the following positions.
Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the
instrument panel. These outlets can be
adjusted to direct airflow.
NOTE:
The center instrument panel outlets can be
aimed so that they are directed toward the
rear seat passengers for maximum airflow
to the rear.
Bi-Level
Air is directed through the panel and
floor outlets.
NOTE:
For all settings, except full cold or full hot,
there is a difference in temperature between
the upper and lower outlets. The warmer air
flows to the floor outlets. This feature gives
improved comfort during sunny but cool
conditions.
146
Floor
Air is directed through the floor outlets
with a small amount flowing through
the defrost and side window demist
outlets.
Mix
Air is directed through the floor, de-
frost, and side window demist outlets.
This setting works best in cold or
snowy conditions that require extra
heat to the windshield. This setting is good for
maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
Defrost
Air is directed through the windshield
and side window demist outlets. Use
this mode with maximum blower and
temperature settings for best windshield and
side window defrosting.
Air Conditioner Control
Press this button to turn
on the air conditioning
during manual opera-
tion only. When the air
conditioning is turned
on, cool dehumidified air
will flow through the out-
lets selected with the
Mode control dial. Press
this button a second
time to turn OFF the air conditioning. An LED in
the button illuminates when manual compressor
operation is selected.
Recirculation Control
The system will automatically con-
trol recirculation. However, press-
ing the Recirculation Control button
will put the system in recirculation
mode. This can be used when out-
side conditions such as smoke,
odors, dust, or high humidity are present. Acti-
vating recirculation will cause the LED in the
control button to illuminate.
