Rear climate control

The rear climate control in the Kia Opirus (2003–2011) allows passengers in the rear seats to individually adjust temperature and airflow. The controls are located at the rear of the center console and only activate when the front air conditioning is switched on. A special highlight is the integrated cooler box in the center console, which keeps drink cans warm or cold as desired. A smart addition for long-distance trips and demanding comfort needs in the rear.

The rear climate control allows passengers seated in the back to adjust the temperature and airflow. The corresponding switches are located at the rear of the center console. The rear climate control can only be used when the front climate control is switched on.
