CRear Climate Control
(if equipped)
The rear heating and air conditioning
system works with the main climate
control system and regulates the
temperature, fan speed and air delivery
for the rear-seat passengers.
Using the front overhead control panel,
the driver can operate the rear climate
control, adjusting the fan speed, airflow
and temperature setting.
Turn the front fan knob to the Rear
Control position to allow rear-seat pas-
sengers to use the rear control panel.
This disables the front control panel.

the following functions:

mode to direct most of the air to the

mode to direct most of the air to the
floor outlets.
Turn the knob to any position between
these two modes to blend the airflow.
Temperature Control:Turn the right
knob to increase or decrease the

The air conditioning system on the main
