include separate switches for FRONT and REAR
fan control. Fan speed for front and rear systems
can be set as desired by adjusting these switches.

A/C, an auxiliary unit fan switch is located in
the headliner at a location between the front and
rear seats.

NORM A/C and VENT only, and from
floor registers when front control is in
FLOOR FLR/DEF and DEF only.
