For vehicles with the rear heat and air conditioning

controls located in the center console. The system can
be controlled from the front controls as well as the
rear controls.
To turn the system on, press the AUX button on the
front climate control system, an indicator will be
lit. Pressing the AUX button the rst time will turn the
rear system on in a mimic mode. In this mode, the
airow in the rear will be approximately the same
direction, temperature, and fan speed as the front.
Pressing the AUX button again turns the rear system
and the indicator off.
If the rear controls are adjusted, the system enters a
rear independent mode. Airow in the rear will then
be directed according to the settings of rear controls.
The rear system can be turned off by pressing the
AUX button on the front climate control system and the
indicator will turn off.

system is off.

If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag
Driver Information Center (DIC) message may also
come on. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-59for more information.
Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
Your overhead console has a passenger airbag status
indicator.
When you start the vehicle, the passenger airbag status
indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on
and off, for several seconds as a system check.
Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol
to let you know the status of the right front passenger’s
frontal airbag.If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the right front
passenger’s frontal airbag is enabled (may inate).
{CAUTION:
If the on indicator comes on when you have a
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger’s seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned off
the passenger’s frontal airbag. A child in a
rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the right front passenger’s
airbag inates. This is because the back of the
rear-facing child restraint would be very close
to the inating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger’s
seat if the airbag is turned on. United States
