Programming II
It is also possible to customize the ACC system to adapt to driving
and weather conditions.
Function Operation in AUTO mode
after Programming II
The A/C compressor is not
switched on until the out-
side temperature goes
above +55°F (+13°C).
– This function can be used
to save fuel, since the A/C
compressor will not be in
action for so long a time.
In wet weather, however,
the A/C compressor should
be on at below 57 ° F (14°C)
as well, since this reduces
the risk of misting on the
windows.
Rear-window heating can
only be switched on manu-
ally.
Standard operation in
AUTO mode
A/C compressor cuts in
when outside tempera-
ture is above 32°F
(0°C).
The heating will come on
about five seconds after
the engine has started if
the outside temperature
is below +41°F (+5°C).
–The activation time
depends on the outside
temperature.
