Temperature control
The temperatures on the
driver and passenger sides
04
can be set independently.
When the car is started, the
most recent setting is
resumed.
NOTE
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by
selecting a higher/lower temperature than
the actual temperature required.
AC – Air conditioning on/off
ON: The air conditioning is
controlled by the system's
Auto function. This way,
incoming air is cooled and
dehumidified.
130
OFF: When the defroster function is activated
the air conditioning is switched on automati-
cally (can be switched off using the AC button).
Defroster
Used to quickly remove mist-
ing and ice from the wind-
screen and side windows. Air
flowing to the windows. The
light in the defroster button
illuminates when the function
is active.
The following also takes place in order to pro-
vide maximum dehumidification in the passen-
ger compartment:
•
the air conditioning is automatically
engaged
•
recirculation and the air quality system are
automatically disengaged.
The air conditioning can be disengaged man-
ually using the AC button. When the defroster
function is switched off the climate control sys-
tem returns to the previous settings.
Recirculation/Air quality system
Recirculation
When recirculation is
engaged the right-hand
orange light in the button illu-
minates. The function is
selected to shut out bad air,
exhaust gases etc. from the
passenger compartment. The
air in the passenger compartment is recircula-
ted, i.e. no outside air is taken into the car when
this function is activated.
NOTE
If the air in the car recirculates for too long,
there is a risk of misting on the insides of the
windows.
Timer
With the timer function activated the system
will exit manually activated recirculation mode
according to a time that depends on the out-
side temperature. This reduces the risk of ice,
misting and bad air. Activate/deactivate the
function under Climate settings
Recirculation timer. For a description of the
menu system, see page 120.
