Rear settings can also be adjusted from the front seat using the infotainment† screen (see Owner’s Manual for infotainment screen instructions).

AUTOMATIC OPERATION USING THE REAR CONTROLS

  1. Make sure the power is on.
  2. Adjust the Temperature knob to the desired temperature.

You can use the front infotainment screen controls to turn off Rear Automatic Climate Control, or you can lower the fan setting on the rear-seat controls until the system goes off.
