Your vehicle has a rear climate-control system that allows the rear-seat passengers to adjust the direction of the airflow, the fan speed and the temperature for the rear-seating area. This system also works with the main climate-control system in your vehicle.

The control panel for this system is located on the back of the center console.

PASS TEMP : Press this switch located on the main climate control panel in the front of the vehicle on the instrument panel to turn on the system.

OFF: Turn the mode knob located on the rear climate control panel to this position to turn off the airflow. If the PASS OFF button located on the main climate control panel is pressed, the rear climate control system will be turned off and the settings selected for the main climate control panel will also be selected for the rear seat passengers. For more information on how to use the climate control system, see Dual Climate Control System . For more information on the air outlets, see Outlet Adjustment .

Automatic Operation

AUTO (Automatic): Press the MODE button until AUTO appears on the display to place the system in automatic mode. When automatic operation is active, the system will control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode and the fan speed.

Manual Operation

MODE : Pressing this switch cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Select the AUTO mode to return to automatic operation.

To change the current mode, select one of the following:

(Vent): This mode directs air to the upper outlets, with some air directed to the floor outlets.

(Bi-Level): This mode directs half the air to the upper outlets, and then directs the remaining air to the floor outlets.

(Floor): This mode directs the air to the floor outlets.

(Fan): Pressing this switch cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press this switch to increase or decrease the fan speed. Press the MODE switch until AUTO is displayed to return to automatic operation.

TEMP (Temperature): Press this switch to increase or decrease the temperature for the rear seat passengers. For cool air to be sent to the rear of the vehicle, the air-conditioning system on the main climate-control panel must be on. If it is not on, then the temperature in the rear of the vehicle will remain at cabin temperature.

Be sure to keep the area under the front seats clear of any objects so that the air inside of your vehicle can circulate effectively.
