Rear Climate Control System
Your Envoy has one of the following rear climate control
systems. With any of these systems, the rear climate
controls will be disabled when the front climate control
system is in defrost. This occurs to provide maximum
airow to clear the windshield.
The temperature of the air coming through the rear
outlets is determined by the front passenger’s
temperature setting. Press the PWR button to turn the
rear climate controls on and off. Use the mode knob
to change the direction of airow (upper, bi-level or oor)
to the rear seat area.If your vehicle has the rear seat audio system, the lower
buttons are used to adjust the rear seat climate
controls. The temperature of the air coming through the
rear outlets is determined by the front passenger’s
temperature setting.
If the front climate control is on and not in defrost mode,
the rear climate control can be enabled by pressing the
lower power button (center button) on the control face.
If the front is off or is in defrost mode, the rear climate
control will ash “OFF” if the power button is pressed,
indicating the function is unavailable at this point.
The fan speed is controlled by the fan speed toggle
button. The mode button, on the right, controls where
the air is vented.

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle – like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio – be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine,
radio or other systems, and even damage them.
Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
nd out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
“Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” underIgnition
Positions on page 2-20.
