Interior air enters the Manual Rear Zone Climate
Control system through an intake grille located in
the passenger side trim panel behind the third seat.

trim panel just behind the sliding door. Do not
block or place objects directly in front of the inlet
grille or heater outlets. The electrical system could
overload causing damage to the blower motor.
Rear Temperature And Mode Control
When the center knob on the front climate control unit is
set to the ªREARº position, the second seat occupants also
have control of the rear temperature and modes as follows:
²The rear temperature knob controls both the rear
temperature and mode. When the temperature knob is
in the cold position, cold air will be delivered from the
headliner outlets. As the rear temperature knob isturned towards hot, the air will get warmer, and the
air will be delivered from both the headliner and floor
outlets. When the rear temperature knob reaches the
full hot position, all of the air will be delivered from
the floor outlets.
²When the center knob on the front climate control unit
is set to any position other than ªREARº, the rear
temperature selection follows the setting of the driv-
er's temperature control on the front climate control
unit. The rear mode selection follows the setting of the
front mode control.
Rear Economy Mode
If rear economy mode is desired, set the center knob on
the front control unit to the ªREARº position. Turn the
A/C button OFF and select any mode except ªMIXº or
ªDEFROSTº.
The rear temperature knob and the rear blower speed can
be adjusted as desired by the second seat occupants.

TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The following describes the tire grading categories estab-
lished by the National highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration. The specific grade rating assigned by the tire's
manufacturer in each category is shown on the sidewall
of the tires on your car.
All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in Addition to These Grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1
1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use, however, andmay depart significantly from the norm due to variations
in driving habits, service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction Grades
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B, and
C, and they represent the tire's ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of asphalt and con-
crete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
WARNING!
The traction grade is based on braking (straight-
ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering
(turning) performance.
