Rear Climate Control(If Equipped) If you have the optional rear climate control, the rear seat passengers can control the temperature and the amount of air directed to the rear of the vehicle. The amount of air directed to the rear of the vehicle can also be adjusted using the front control for the rear fan. Set the main climate control mode knob to BI-LEV, LOWER or DEFOG, when outside temperatures are cold or moderate, to send air to the rear of the vehicle through the lower vents. Ventilation Tips 0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or any other obstruction (such as leaves). This will allow the heater and defroster to work much better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan to 5 for a few moments before driving off. This helps clear intake ducts of snow and the moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. Keep the area around the base of the center instrument panel console and the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helpsair to circulate throughout your vehicle. Set the main climate control mode knob to UPPER to send air to the rear of the vehicle through the headliner outlets. To send conditioned air to the rear of the vehicle, press the A/C button (the light will glow) on the main Climate Controls. If you do not select A/C, air directed to the rear of the vehicle will be cabin temperature. 0 0 3-5
