4-zone system climate zones
The 4-zone climate system makes it possible to
set the left- and right-side temperatures sepa-
rately for the front and rears seats.
All climate system settings are made from the
center display and the buttons in the center con-
sole. Settings for the rear seats can also be
made from the climate system panel on the rear
side of the tunnel console.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com-
partment temperature based on the perceived
temperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on a physical perception relating to
the current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-
ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side of
the car where sunlight is entering the passenger
compartment. This means that the actual tem-
perature may differ between the right and left
sides of the compartment, even if the tempera-
ture setting is the same for both sides.
