When the blower knob on the front climate control unit is
set to any position other thanRR, the rear temperature
selection follows the setting of the rear temperature
control knob on the front climate control unit. The rear

the rear overhead adjustments are ignored.
The rear airflow modes will mirror the front unit opera-
tion. Rear PANEL mode is automatically selected when
the front control is in the PANEL mode. When the front
unit is in BI-LEVEL mode, airflow will be emitted from
both the upper and lower rear outlets. When the frontcontrol is in FLOOR, DEFROST, or MIX modes, airflow
will be directed out of the rear floor outlets.
