How do I force the front and rear climate controls to sync?

[jastevenson]

Hi all,

Can’t seem to find the answer in the owners manual so figured I’d ask here:

I want the front and rear temperatures to be synced at all times (auto climate control).

I know how to turn off the rear blower, and how to lock it so that people in the rear can’t change it, but can’t figure out how to force the temperature to always match the set temperature in the front.

Any tips? Thanks!!

@armoredsaint is correct...you don’t.

Just set the rear to whatever you have the front set to, lock it, and be happy.

Stupid oversight on Ford's part. It would be so easy to allow front/rear sync.

The problem with the XLT is that it sets the rear controls back to "Auto Vent" if you change either the rear temperature or rear fan settings on the front console (via the LCD panel). If someone in the back seat sets the rear heat/cool system to either "floor", "cieling", or "floor and cieling"... if the driver adjusts the temp or fan speed from the front console, the rear settings are instantly changed back to "auto" (you will see the lights on the rear console get deselected).

So basically you can adjust the temperature or fan speeds from the front LCD console, but if your kids like it at "ceiling only" or "both", you have to reach back to the rear console and touch those buttons to choose. There is no way to choose floor or ceiling for the rear system by using the front console LCD panel.

One thing I mess about my Tahoe is that it had an option to sync front & rear.
