Temperature
Concept
The automatic climate control achieves the set
temperature as quickly as possible, if necessary
by using the maximum cooling or heating power,
and then keeps it constant.
Settings
Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
The selected temperature is shown on the dis‐
play of the automatic climate control.
The automatic climate control reaches this tem‐
perature as quickly as possible, if needed, by in‐
creasing the cooling or heating output, and then
keeps it constant.
Do not rapidly switch between different tempera‐
ture settings. Otherwise, the automatic climate
control will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
To reduce the energy consumption, the cooling
or heating output is reduced in ECO-PRO mode,
refer to page
194 . ECO PRO is shown on the
display of the automatic climate control.
Maximum cooling
Concept
The system is set to the lowest temperature, op‐
timum air flow and recirculated-air mode.
