1. Rear fan speed control dial
2. Rear temperature control dial
REAR CONTROL BUTTON
You can adjust the climate control system for rear
seat passengers using the buttons on the main
control panel. Front passengers can control the
rear functions by placing the controls on any
setting other than the “R”.
OPERATING TIPS
cWhen the engine coolant temperature and
outside air temperature are low, the air flow
from the foot outlets may not operate for a
maximum of 150 seconds. However, this is
not a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air flow from the foot outlets
will operate normally.
The sunload sensor
s1, located on the top center
of the instrument panel, helps the system main-
tain a constant temperature. Do not put anything
on or around this sensor.
To operate the rear air conditioner, the engine
must be running and the front air conditioner
system must be on.
The rear seat air conditioner can be turned on
and off from the front controls. If the rear seat fan
control dial is set to (0) , the air conditioner is
turned off. If it is set to any of the fan speed
positions, air is discharged from the rear vents at
the corresponding speed. When the rear seat fan
control dial is set to (R) , the rear seat passengers
control their own fan speed.
The rear seat air conditioner only works when the
front seat air conditioner is operating.
