Dual-Zone Climate Control

Dual-zone climate control lets the driver and front passenger set different temperatures on each side of the cabin.

What is Dual-Zone Climate Control?

Three- and four-zone systems add rear zones. A sync button sets all zones to the driver’s setting. Each zone has its own temperature blend flap. Climate control is more efficient with doors and windows closed.

How it works

Separate blend doors mix hot and cold air differently for each side.

Why it matters for your car

Large temperature differences between zones are hard to achieve. A stuck blend flap actuator causes one side to blow the wrong temperature.
