In position HI, 86°F (30°C), the system
switches to permanent heating.
Single Zone Temperature Control
In this mode, the climate control system
links the temperature settings for both the
driver's side and passenger's side. If you
adjust the setting using the rotary control
on the driver's side, the system adjusts the
temperature to the same setting on the
passenger's side.
Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger's
side using the rotary control on the
passenger's side. Single zone temperature
control automatically switches off. The
temperature on the driver's side remains
unchanged. You can now adjust the
driver's side and passenger's side
temperatures independently. The display
shows the temperature settings for each
side.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
for demisting the windshield.
Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.
Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.
Manual Climate Control
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position.
