Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the a ir in the veh icle inter ior. It
functions most effect ively when the windows are
closed. If there is a build -up of heat inside the ve-
hicle, ventilation can help to speed up the cooling
process.
Pollutant filt er
The po llutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognit ion
Certain settings are automat ically stored and as-
signed to the remote contro l key being used .
