windshield defroster switch while in AUTO ON mode will cancel auto A/C.
• Only cool or cold air (no heat) blows through the rear vents
while
the front climate control is on.
Heat for the rear passengers comes
from under the front seats
when the front heater is on and set to floor
mode. When pushing the rear ventilation control switch on the front control
panel (with climate control system on), the rear ventilation system operates
at low speed only. To change to high speed, push the HI rear vent button.
•
With any defroster mode, the system turns on the A/C compressor and
selects the FRESH AIR mode. This helps defrost the windows more
efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The A/C compressor will always be on in
defroster mode, but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm air when the
temperature dial is set to a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.
