In both of my cars, pushing the passanger side climate off button doesnt seem to do anything. The cooler/hotter part works but pressing in on the button doesnst seem to turn off the air flow. Does this just turn off the adjustment setting so that it is the same temp as the driver side? I could read the manual, but hey, im lazy.

No that'* for turning your PASSENGER off. For Kendra'* bad moods.

Thats what the trunk is for...er...wait delete this post before i become Columbus first homicide of the new year....

Yikes trunk alert!!
I found the same thing Rogue, manual says the driver is the master and the pass cant move beyond 7* of the driver.

The question is, does pushing the passanger off button actually turn off the air flow? I'm finding that it does not. The manual doesnt say ahtning else about it?

No, soon as you switch it off from automatic it goes into manual and the fan runs for the driver, the vents dont seem to close either? but in full auto the vents shift open and closed depending on the two level settings.
'Off' does'nt seem to be in automatics vocabulary?

turning off th epassenger side only makes it so that the passenger side is the same temperature as the driver'* side. Altthough with my riviera the dual climate control only will allow you to change the temperature on each side slightly, the SSEi will allow you to change them very far apart. In the summer it'd allow you to have the AC on on the driver'* side, and full temperture heat on the passenger side. It'* wierd when you have freezing cold air on one side and burning hot air on the other.

That is correct, Rogue.
