temperature control will continue to operate automati-

cally.

Operating Tips

NOTE:

Refer to the chart at the end of this section for

suggested control settings for various weather condi-

tions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with a

high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corro-

sion protection and to protect against engine overheating.

A solution of 50% OAT (Organic Additive Technology)

coolant that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material

Standard MS.90032 and 50% water is recommended.

Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for proper coolant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode during winter months

is not recommended because it may cause window

fogging.
Vacation Storage
Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out of service

(i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air

conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the

fresh air and high blower setting. This will ensure

adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility

of compressor damage when the system is started again.
