Tri-zone Climate

Last night, when I reached my Rivian truck after work, my iPhone displayed a message. I captured a screenshot to show what happens if you avoid signing back into the app. The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature still works without logging in again. If you're in an area with poor cell service, don’t try to sign in. Instead, keep using the app and PAAK until you’re somewhere with a good signal and can access your password. The screen’s text explains this, but some users still get confused. This is a quick tip for PAAK users to avoid trouble.

The Tri-Zone climate feature is a feature offered by the 2024.35 Rivian software update, which offers three distinct climate zones: driver seat, front passenger seat, and rear passenger seat.

Each is customizable, making every trip more comfortable. This software update comes with functions such as being able to manage the temperature settings separately for all three zones using the controls panel on the center display.

You can also view and adjust the temperature setting for the rear zone through the rear display. My personal favorite feature, though, is being able to heat the rear seats from the vent controls panel by simply selecting the graphic of the seat you want to heat.
