Rear Climate Control - Overview: Overview
An optional rear climate control system is available for long wheelbase wagon models only. The system is a one-piece unit located under the driver front seat and extending back under the 2nd row LH side passenger floor. The rear climate control system has a separate blower motor, blower motor control module, A/C evaporator and an electric booster heater. It does not have a separate heater core. For information on the electric booster heater operation, Refer to: Supplemental Climate Control - System Operation and Component Description .
- The RHVAC control module selection determines heating or cooling, air distribution and enables rear blower motor operation.
- The combination temperature control and air distribution control setting determines both the outlet air temperature and air outlet location (from the registers located in the rear of the B-pillar trim panels in front of the 2nd row seats, the panel registers at the beltline in front of the 3rd row seats or a combination of both).
- The blower motor control module varies the rear blower motor speed.
- During A/C operation the rear climate control system reduces the relative humidity of the air inside the vehicle.
