Operating Tips - Jeep Compass 2015 Operating Information Manual

Air Conditioner Control
Push 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. Push
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, pushing
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.
NOTE:
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position, the recirculation feature
will be cancelled.
• In cold weather, use of the Recirculation
mode may lead to excessive window fog-
ging. The Recirculation mode is not al-
lowed in defrost mode in order to improve
window clearing. Recirculation will be
disabled automatically if these modes are
selected.
• Extended use of recirculation may cause
the windows to fog. If the interior of the
windows begins to fog, push the Recircu-
lation button to return to outside air.
Some temp/humidity conditions
cause captured interior air to condense
on windows and hamper visibility. For
this reason, the system will not allow
Recirculation to be selected while in de-
frost mode. Attempting to use the recircu-
lation while in these modes will cause the
LED in the control button to blink and
then turn off.
• Most of the time, when in Automatic Op-
eration, you can temporarily put the sys-
tem into Recirculation Mode by pushing
the Recirculation button. However, under
certain conditions, while in Automatic
Mode, the system is blowing air out the
defrost vents. When these conditions are
present, and the Recirculation button is
pushed, the indicator will flash and then
turn off. This tells you that you are unable
to go into Recirculation Mode at this time.
If you would like the system to go into
Recirculation Mode, you must first move
the Mode knob to Panel, Bi-Level and then
push the Recirculation button. This fea-
ture reduces the possibility of window
fogging.
