Temperature
Concept
The automatic climate control achieves the set
temperature as quickly as possible, if needed,
by using the maximum cooling or heating caj
pacity, and then keeps it constant.
Settings Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
Do not rapidly switch between different temj
perature settings. Otherwise, the automatic clij
mate control will not have sufficient time to adj
just the set temperature.
Air
conditioning
Concept
The air in the vehicle's interior will be cooled and dehumidified and, depending on the temj
perature setting, warmed again.
