Climate Control

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.
Switching Back to Single Zone
Temperature Control
Press and hold AUTO for 2-4 seconds. The

the driver's side temperature setting.
