Jeep 2006 Commander - Manual (Page 235)

Bi-Level
Air flows both through the outlets located in the
instrument panel and those located on the floor. Air
flows through the registers in the back of the center
console, and under the front seats to the rear seat
passengers. These registers can be closed to partially
block airflow. The center console outlets deliver condi-
tioned air while the floor outlets deliver heated air.
Panel
Air flows through the outlets located in the instru-
ment panel. Air flows through the registers in the
back of the center console to the rear seat passengers.
These registers can be closed to block airflow.
Recirculation
The recirculation feature can be selected with
the mode control knob. You may choose be-
tween Bi-Level Recirculation and Panel Recir-
culation air outlets while in this mode. Nor-
mally, air enters from outside the vehicle. However, when
in Recirculation mode air inside the vehicle is re-used.
Use this mode to rapidly cool the inside of the vehicle.
The Recirculation mode can also be used to temporarily
block out outside odors, smoke, and dust.
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly re-
moved by turning the mode selector to Defrost, and
turning on the high blower. The Defrost/Floor mode can
be used to maintain a clear windshield and provide
sufficient heating. If side window fogging becomes a
problem increase blower speed. Vehicle windows tend to
fog on the inside in mild but rainy or humid weather.
NOTE: Recirculate without A/C should not be used for
long periods as fogging may occur.
