Changing rear cabin temp setting
On the 2011 model (with 3 zone AC), is it possible to check and change the temp setting on the rear cabin temp setting? I know you can do it from the rear control but we only have small kids sitting there so it would be more convenient if we can check and change from the front control.
Also, are we suppose to get warm air coming out of the ceiling vents on the second/third row? I wonder if these vents are only for AC and not for heat.
Thanks.

the only problem i have with this is that the front two zone temps seems to be remembered over restarts of the truck, but the rear always resets to "72".

On our 2011, pushing the Rear button just turns off the rear system. The button is labled "Rear off". I think the climate control system prior to 2010 was different.
Also, the system does seem to remember the rear setting once it's set from the rear.

As Alx said, hit the rear off button, but then adjust the temperature with the temperature dial. The 2011 owner's manual explains how to do this.
