the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted

E. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.

circulated in the front of your vehicle. Turn to select the desired
temperature.
G. Rear fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in the
rear your vehicle. Press + or - to select the desired fan speed.
H. Rear temperature control: Controls the temperature of the air
circulated in the rear of your vehicle. Press TEMP + and TEMP - to
select the desired temperature.
I. REAR CTRL: Press to change control of the rear climate controls
system from the front controls to the rear controls.
J. Rear climate control system power: Press to turn the rear climate
