This allows the passenger
compartment to be heated more
quickly in cold weather conditions. The
additional heater turns off automatically
after the required comfort conditions
are achieved.
Automatic dual zone
climate control system

way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external lighting
conditions.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to
detect the presence of fog. Therefore
under these circumstances, these lights
must be turned on manually.When the lights are turned on by the
sensor, the fog lights (for versions/

If the sensor is activated but is
malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched
on irrespective of the outside light
level and the sensor failure is indicated
on the display.
It is also possible to deactivate the
sensor and switch on the side lights
