General information
0391
For information about how to make these set-
tings, see the Personal settings section on
page 82.Models equipped with ECC (option)Sensors•
The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of
the dashboard
•
The passenger compartment temperature
sensor is located behind the climate sys-
tem control panel.
•
The ambient temperature sensor is in the
driver's side door mirror.
•
The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-
ror.
These sensors should never be obstructed.NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the
vehicle from which the sun shines into the
passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature may differ slightly between
the left and right air vents, even if the climate
system temperature is set to be the same
for both sides of the passenger compart-
ment.Side windows and optional moonroofThe electronic climate control system will func-
tion best if the windows and moonroof areclosed. If you drive with the windows or moon-
roof open, it may be preferable to manually
adjust the temperature and blower control (the
LED in the AUTO switch should be off).
AccelerationThe air conditioning system is temporarily
switched off during full throttle acceleration.

Manual climate system functions1. Blower
The blower speed can be
increased or decreased by
turning the knob. If the knob is
turned counterclockwise and
the indicator light in the dis-
play goes out, the blower and
the air conditioning are
switched off. The display shows the blower
symbol and
OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to
shut out exhaust fumes,
smoke, etc from the passen-
ger compartment. The air in
the passenger compartment
is then recirculated, i.e. no air
from outside the car is taken
into the car when this function is activated.
Recirculation (together with the air condition-
ing system) cools the passenger compartment
more quickly in very warm weather. If the air in
the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk
of condensation forming on the insides of the
windows, especially in winter.

03 ClimateManual climate control

TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of mist-
ing, or stale air when the recirculation function
is selected, see page 82 for information on set-
ting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is
always disengaged when you select Defroster
(3).3. Defroster
Directs airflow to the wind-
shield and side windows and
increases blower speed.
When the defroster is activated:•

perature on both sides of the car at the
same time.
NOTE
Selecting a temperature that is higher or
lower than necessary will not heat or cool
the passenger compartment faster.

04 InteriorFront seats
04104
Three different seating positions can be stored
in the seat's memory. The memory buttons are
located on the outboard side of the driver's
seat (see the illustration above). The following
example explains how memory button 1 can be
programmed. Buttons 2 and 3 can be pro-
grammed in the same way.
To program (store) a seat position in memory
button1:
1. Adjust the seat to the desired position.
2.
Press and hold down the "M" (Memory)
button.
3.
With the "M" button depressed, press
memory button 1 to store the seat's current
position.
To move the seat to the position that it was in
when memory button 1 was programmed,
press and hold down button 1 until the seat
stops moving.
As a safety precaution, the seat will stop auto-
matically if the button is released before the
seat has reached the preset position.Central locking system remote control
and driver's seat memoryThe remote control transmitter can also be
equipped with an optional function that con-
trols the electrically operated driver's seat in
the following way:1. Adjust the seat to the desired position.
2. When you leave the car, lock it using the
remote control.
3. The next time the driver's door is unlocked
with the same remote control and that door
is opened within 2 minutes, the driver's
seat and side door mirrors will automati-
cally move to the position that they were in
when the doors were most recently locked
with the same remote control.
NOTE
The memory function in the remote control
operates independently the memory func-
tion in the seat.
