Rear Climate Control - Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Overview

The rear climate control system is available in either triple zone or quadruple zone. The triple and quadruple zone rear climate control systems have components located in the forward section or first row area and in the right rear quarter panel by the D pillar. The triple zone temperature and controls breakdown the temperature zones as first row driver, first row passenger and rear. The quadruple zone temperature and controls breakdown the temperature zones as first row driver, first row passenger, second row seating temperature and third row seating temperature.

The rear climate control system is standard equipment on all engine packages. The rear climate control system operation is determined by the settings on the front HVAC control panel selection or from the RHVAC control panel selection.

The rear climate controls are located on the rear of the center console. It includes a fan speed control knob, temperature control knob, air distribution control buttons, and a rear climate control lock of which are only serviced as an assembly.

The rear system air can be cooled below interior air temperature only when A/C compressor operation has been requested by the settings of the climate control assembly of the base (front) system. The rear climate control system air can be heated at any time.

The FCDIM or Front HVAC control module can control the commands of the RHVAC control module. The command for warm or cold air to the RHVAC control module may make a difference in the rear air delivery vents. The commands that are directly inputted from the RHVAC control module to the rear air delivery and temperature system may work better than the commands that are directly inputted from the front HVAC system.
