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
between 60 and 80°F.
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, depending on personal prefer-
ence and what clothing is worn.
• To allow the system time to adjust,
changes in the temperature setting shall
only be made in steps of 2°F.
Once the desired climate has been
achieved, the rear center vents can be
closed to prevent warm air being distributed
at face height.
When the ignition is switched off, only the
temperature control affects the system the
next time the engine is started. The system
will warm up/cool down to the temperature
to which the control is set.
MAX heat, red indication
The HI setting is obtained by turning the
temperature control to the first position past
80 (to the red LED). The driver’s side selec-
tion regulates air distribution and recircula-
tion status. Temperature, however, can be
adjusted on the passenger side.
Settings when HI is selected:
• Maximum heat
• Air distribution to windshield and floor
• Recirculation OFF (even if manually
selected before)
• Fan: high speed
MAX cooling, blue indicator
The LO setting is obtained by turning the
temperature control to the first position past
60 (to the blue LED). The driver’s side selec-
tion regulates air distribution and recircula-
tion status. Temperature, however, can be
adjusted on the passenger side.
Settings when LO is selected:
• Maximum cooling (A/C compressor will
run even if AC OFF manually selected
before)
• Air distribution through panel vents
• Fan: maximum speed
• Recirculation ON
