Up near the sunroof button. One of the slotted ports is the microphone for the telephone/tele-aid, the other is the temperature sensor.

... EC simply turns off the A/C compressor. True, in winter, you could leave EC engaged since you won't need the compressor IN GENERAL. But, the system will disengage the compressor anyway when it's really cold outside, and besides, leaving the compressor on helps w/ avoiding fogging the windshield in certain conditions. BTW, I believe the REST function has been deleted for 2003.

So for 2003 the EC button has become AC OFF, which seems easier to understand. REST has disappeared from the printing on the button but the REST feature is still available by holding down the AC OFF button after switching off the engine.
