Jeep CHEROKEE 2021 - And Functions; Manual Climate Control Descriptions and Functions

58 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Bi-Level Mode
Selecting this mode from the
touchscreen causes air to flow from
the instrument panel outlets and floor
outlets. A slight amount of air is
directed through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort condi-
tions to provide cooler air out of the panel
outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Selecting this mode from the
touchscreen causes air to flow from
the floor outlets. A slight amount of air
is directed through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Selecting this mode from the
touchscreen causes air to flow
through the floor, defrost, and side
window demister 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.
Climate Control OFF Button
Press and release the OFF button on
the touchscreen, or push the OFF
button on the faceplate to turn the
Climate Control ON/OFF.

ESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
MAX A/C Setting
Set the temperature control knob to
the MAX A/C setting to change the
current setting to the coldest output
of air. Moving the temperature control
knob away from the MAX A/C setting causes the
MAX A/C operation to exit.
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air
Conditioning (A/C). The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on.
NOTE:
 For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is
in Mix, Floor or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system shall remain
active to prevent fogging of the windows.
 If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side glass, select Defrost mode, and increase
blower speed if needed.
 If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front of the radi-
ator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front
of the radiator and through the condenser.
Recirculation Button
Push the Recirculation button to
change the system between
recirculation mode and outside air
mode. The Recirculation indicator
and the A/C indicator illuminate when the
Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation
can be used when outside conditions, such as
smoke, odors, dust, or humidity are present.
Recirculation can be used in all modes except
for Defrost. Recirculation may be unavailable if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield. The A/C can be
deselected manually without disturbing the
mode control selection. Continuous use of the
Recirculation mode may make the inside air
stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended
use of this mode is not recommended.
