Temperature control
The cabin is divided into two temperature
zones:
• The driver’s zone
• The passenger zone (front and rear
seats)
The desired temperature can be set bet-
ween 58 and 82°F (15 and 27°C). In addi-
tion, there are also HI and LO settings (see
below). The HI and LO settings for the pas-
senger zone can only be selected if they are
also selected for the driver’s zone.
The displayed temperature is not the abso-
lute temperature but corresponds to the
comfort level normally experienced at that
temperature after allowance has been
made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar
radiation, etc., currently prevailing inside
the car.
• The most usual temperature setting is
64–76°F (18–24°C), depending on perso-
nal preference and what clothing is worn.
• To allow the system time to adjust, chan-
ges in the temperature setting can only be
made in steps of 2°F (1°C).
• Once the desired climate has been achie-
ved, the rear center vents can be closed
to prevent warm air being distributed at
face height.
