SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The system can be activated by pressing any of the but-
tons; it is, however, advisable to set the desired temper-
atures on the display, then press the AUTO button.
The climate control system allows you to customise the
temperatures (driver side and passenger side) with a max-
imum difference of 7 °C.
The climate control system compressor works only with
the engine running and with an outside temperature of
above 4 °C.
It is advisable not to use the air recircula-
tion function when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.

tions manually:
