Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (Cvt); Manual Climate Controls - Jeep 2010 Patriot User Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(CVT)
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds, the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds. This allows
it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional
transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is "shifting." These
characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS

Air Recirculation
• Use recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the recirculation button off.
• Recirculation is not allowed in defrost, floor, defrost/floor (mix) modes.
