Front Control Panel

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2005 Dodge Caravan, and 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Primary control of the rear heater-A/C system is on the instrument panel. This control allows the driver to set the rear compartment fan speed, to turn the rear heater-A/C system off, or to give control to the intermediate seat occupants by switching to the Rear position. When the rear heater-A/C system is controlled from the instrument panel, rear air temperature is based on the driver-side temperature control position, and the mode (floor or overhead air) is based on the front control's mode position.
  2. The mode control knob enables continuously variable proportioning of air flow between modes but has detents adjacent to each icon.
  3. The blower control provides four separate speeds and an Off position. When the heater-A/C system is off, the HVAC computer closes the recirculation door to prevent outside air from entering the passenger compartment.
  4. Interior air may be recirculated to speed up heating or cooling in all modes except defrost and mix by pressing the Recirculate button on the control panel.
  5. To reduce humidity for rapid defogging the A/C compressor runs automatically in modes from "mix' to full defrost when outside temperatures are above freezing.
  6. Air conditioning is available in any mode by pressing the snowflake, A/C on/off, button.
