HI (high): Demand for maximum heat.
LO (low): Demand for maximum cold.Note: When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.
On entering the vehicle after a prolonged stop, when the interior temperature has again become too cold (or too hot) for comfort, do not alter the tempera-ture setting to try and restore the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
