Temperature
Principle
The automatic climate control cools or heats to
the configured temperature and then keeps the
temperature constant.
Setting the temperature
Turning the wheel clockwise or
counter-clockwise: lowering or
raising the temperature.
Do not rapidly switch between different tempera‐
ture settings. Otherwise, the automatic climate
control will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
Temperature of the ventilation
General information
The temperature of the ventilation in the upper
body region can be adjusted.
The air flow of the ventilation in the upper body
region heats or cools noticeably, depending on
the adjusted temperature.
This does not change the set interior tempera‐
ture for the driver and front passenger.
