R
Push this button to direct airflow to the floor. The R indicator
light illuminates and the display window shows the set
temperature. The ATC heats the air if the selected temperature
is warmer than the outside air coming into the vehicle.
However, the air is not cooled below the temperature outside of
the vehicle regardless of the temperature setting unless the A/C
button is pushed.
Air Conditioning and Air Recirculation
Activate the air conditioning in any of the function selector
override modes by pressing the A/C button. The A/C indicator
light on the button illuminates to verify activation, and cooled
air flows from the vents. Fan speed continues to be controlled
by the ATC unless the fan speed thumbwheel is used to
override the ATC.
Press the M button to choose air recirculation. In this mode
the ATC system recirculates the air inside the vehicle rather
than drawing air from outside. Use this mode together with the
air conditioning to rapidly cool the inside of the vehicle or to
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
Rear Passenger Compartment Climate Control System
with Front Passenger ATC
If your vehicle is equipped with ATC, the rear passenger
compartment will also have climate controls so that rear seat
occupants can select their own personal climate comfort level.
The rear seat climate control system is controlled from the main
ATC system on the instrument panel. If the front ATC system is
off, the rear system will also be off. Also, if the rear seat climate
control lever is set in OFF, the rear climate controls are turned
off.
