When you enter the vehicle, the
temperature inside the vehicle
may be much colder (or warmer)
than a comfortable temperature.
There is no point in modifying
the displayed temperature to
try to attain the desired level of
comfort. The system operates
automatically to compensate this
temperature discrepancy as rap-
idly as possible.
When starting the engine from
cold, in order to avoid distributing
too much cold air, the blower will
attain its optimum level gradually.
