CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 123
Actual temperature
The temperature you select in the passenger
compartment corresponds to the physical expe-
rience with reference to factors such as ambient
temperature, air speed, humidity and solar radia-
tion etc. in and around the car at the time.
The system includes a sun sensor (p. 123) which
detects on which side the sun is shining into the
passenger compartment. This means that the
temperature can differ between the right and left-
hand air vents despite the controls being set for
the same temperature on both sides.
