Dashboard Instruments and Controls
Blower control is used to adjust the
amount of air forced through the climate
system. Eight levels of blower speed can
be selected. Adjusting the blower will
cause automatic mode to switch to
manual.
Touch the − or + arrow to select the
blower speed you want to set.
7-8. AUTO
This function automatically controls
the interior temperature by adjusting
the air flow rate and the air distribution
respectively on the driver and on the
4
passenger zone. Press "AUTO" to switch
the ATC between manual and automatic
mode. The "AUTO" soft-key illuminates
in amber when the automatic function is
activated. See "Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC)" in this chapter for more
information.
9. MAX defrosting/demisting
Press the soft-key to switch the airflow
setting to the windshield and the front
side windows to get quick defrosting/
defogging. The soft-key illuminates in
amber when this function is activated.
Operating this function will cause the
ATC to switch into manual mode:
the "AUTO" soft-key will turn off.
With engine off, the blower will run at
minimum speed (level 1) and can be
increased manually: with engine on, the
blower speed will gradually increase
188
to the higher speed (level 8). MAX
defrosting/demisting shall also involve
REAR defrosting/demisting function. If
this function is turned off the climate
system will return to the previous
setting.
10. REAR defrosting/demisting
Press the soft-key to turn on the rear
window defroster and the heated
outside mirrors. The soft-key will
illuminate in amber when the rear
window defroster and the heated

defroster and the heated external mirrors
automatically turn off after 10 minutes.
For any subsequent request after the
first one (in the current ignition cycle),
the system activates the function
for 5 minutes. The timing described
above is automatically reset and
the defrost/demisting function is
deactivated at each key-off.
CAUTION!
Failure to observe the following cautions
may cause damage to the rear windows
