- If, for example, there is too great a
difference between
temperature selected
right-hand side occupant and that
selected by the left-hand-side
occupant, the person in the
left-hand seat may feel a change in
the air temperature. This can be
adjusted using buttons 5 and 8 of
the driver's control unit until the
required comfort level is obtained.
The system will ensure that this
level is maintained.
- It is not advisable to select
MINIMUM on one side and
MAXIMUM on the other at the
same time.
Storing data
If the ignition has been switched off
for less than 15 minutes, the system
retains the same setting as was in
use before the ignition
switched off when the ignition is
switched on again.
If the ignition has been switched off
for more than 15 minutes, the
system will adopt the comfort level
selected by the driver for both sides
of the vehicle.
