Notes on 3-zone automatic climate
control
With the help of a sun sensor, the automatic
climate control determines the relation of the
sun to the vehicle and automatically adjusts
the inside temperature for every individual
zone.
The automatic climate control is operational
whenever the engine is running. It cools the
vehicle's interior according to the angle and
intensity of the sun's rays, the outside
temperature and the selected temperature.
You can operate the automatic climate
control in either the automatic or manual
mode.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors
are filtered out before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system.
