The vehicle also has rear swing-out windows. The rear
swing-out windows work the same way as the side
swing out window, but the latch is located at the bottom
edge of the window.
Enhanced Technology Glass
The vehicle may be equipped with Enhanced Technology
Glass (ETG). ETG is part of the overall occupant
protection system on passenger vans. ETG may help to
keep passengers sitting next to these fixed windows from
being ejected through the glass in some, but not in all
crashes. Even with this glass, safety belts must still be
worn at all times. For passenger vans, use only ETG
glass approved for your vehicle for replacement when
damaged.
The following table shows laminated glass location,
based on vehicle model and options.

Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
System
For vehicles with a rear heating and air-conditioning
system, it maintains the temperature, fan speed and air
delivery for the rear-seat passengers only. It also
works with the main climate-control system in the
vehicle.
Use this control panel to maintain a separate
temperature setting. Adjust the direction of the airflow or
adjust the fan speed for the rear seat passenger(s).A. Fan Control
B. Air Delivery Mode Control
C. Temperature Control
If the vehicle has a 343 cm (135 inch) wheelbase, a
rear control panel for this system is located in the
second row behind the driver in the rear of the vehicle.
The temperature, air delivery mode, and the fan
speed can be adjusted for the rear seating area by a
rear seat passenger.
AUX (Auxiliary):Turn the fan knob on the front climate
control panel to AUX to let rear seat passengers use
the control panel in the rear seating area. This disables
the front control panel. To return control to the front
panel, move the fan knob out of AUX.
