If your vehicle is equipped with this system, there are two rear heat and air conditioning controls. One control is located in the overhead console and the other is located in the headliner above the second row seats. The system can be controlled from the front controls as well as the rear controls.

Front Control


Object Number: 874076  Size: B2

The front control has three knobs that control airflow speed, temperature and airflow location.

Fan Knob

The fan knob on the left side of the control panel adjusts the fan speed. To increase airflow, turn the knob clockwise. To decrease airflow, turn it counterclockwise. To turn the fan off, turn the knob to the off position.

(Off): An off setting, located on the front climate control panel also allows the driver to turn off the rear seat passenger seat controls from the front seat.

Temperature Knob

The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area. Turn the knob clockwise toward the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.

Mode Knob

The right knob on the control panel allows you to choose the direction of air delivery.

(Vent): This setting directs the air through the headliner outlets.

(Bi-Level): Air is delivered through the floor outlets as well as the headliner outlets. The flow can be divided between vent and floor outlets depending upon where the knob is placed between the settings.
