Someone please explain to me the purpose of the "REST " button on the dash next to the heater fan speed control, what it does, and HOW DOES IT WORK ?
Thank you

its in manual.. basically if shutoff car, you can press REST and it will pull the hot air from engine.. only lasts few mins.
So dont really see much use for it.

I really like the REST function -- when I remember to set it, that is!
If you have an LCI car and are looking for the button, you won't find it. Instead of a dedicated REST button, you simply spin up the fan control knob after stopping the engine...

I've always said they should have a little "space heater" in the car so if it's cold it'll still put out warm air as soon as you turn on the car. Never seen it implemented though
