Climate Control System Rear Button ON/OFF Button When you press this button, the indicator in the button comes on, and the temperature of the rear passenger compartment can be adjusted separately with the temperature control buttons on the back of the center console. With the indicator off, the temperature of the rear passenger compartment is synchronized to the driver's side set temperature. You will see the AUTO SYNC on the system display of the rear control panel. Changing the temperature of the rear passenger compartment also makes the indicator turn on, and takes the system out of synchronized mode. This causes the word SYNC in the display to go out. Each time you press this button, the climate control system switches between on and off. Turning on the system with this button selects your last climate control selection. To Turn Everything Off If you press the ON/OFF button, the climate control system shuts off completely. ● Semi-automatic Operation You can manually select various functions of the climate control system when it is in fully automatic mode. All other features remain automatically controlled. Making any manual selection causes the word AUTO in the display to go out. Fan Control Press the ▲ button to increase the fan speed and airflow. Press the ▼ button to decrease it. Air Conditioning (A/C) Button Features Keep the system completely off for short periods only. To keep stale air and mustiness from collecting, you should have the fan running at all times. ● This button turns the air conditioning on and off. You will see A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display. When you turn the A/C off, the system cannot regulate the inside temperature if you set the temperature control below the outside temperature. CONTINUED 185
