Automatic Temperature Control (Atc) - If Equipped - Chrysler Patriot Owner's Manual

NOTE:
• Continuous use of the recirculation mode
may make the inside air stuffy and win-
dow fogging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended.
• The use of the recirculation mode in cold
or damp weather will cause windows to
fog on the inside, because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. Select the Out-
side Air position for maximum defogging.
• The A/C will engage automatically to pre-
vent fogging when the recirculation but-
ton is pressed and the mode control is set
to Panel or Bi-Level.
• The A/C can be deselected manually with-
out disturbing the mode control selection.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position, the recirculation feature
will be cancelled.
