INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.123
Climate system voice commands Voice commands can be used to control the cli- mate system to e.g., change the temperature, activate seat heating* or change blower (fan)
speed.
To use the voice control system, press the on the right-side steering wheel keypad and say one of the following commands after the tone:
• "
Climate": starts a command dialog and
provides examples of commands that can be used.
• "
Set temperature to X degrees": sets the
desired temperature.
• "
Raise temperature"/"Lower
temperature": raises/lowers the tempera-
ture.
• "
Sync temperature": synchronizes the tem-
perature in all of the vehicle's climate zones with the one set for the driver's side.
• "
Air on feet"/"Air on body": opens the
desired air vent.
• "
Air on feet off"/"Air on body off": closes
the desired air vent.
• "
Set fan to max"/"Turn off fan": changes
the blower speed to Max/Off.
• "
Raise fan speed"/"Lower fan speed":
raises/lowers the blower speed.
• "
Turn on auto": activates automatic climate
control. •
"
Air condition on"/"Air condition off":
activates/deactivates the air conditioning.
• "
Recirculation on"/"Recirculation off":
activates/deactivates recirculation.
• "
Turn on defroster "/"Turn off defroster":
activates/deactivates window and door mirror defrosting.
• "
Turn on max defroster"/"Turn off max
defroster": activates/deactivates max
defroster.
• "
Turn on electric defroster"/"Turn off
electric defroster": activates/deactivates
the electrically heated windshield *.
• "
Turn on rear defroster"/"Turn off rear
defroster": activates/deactivates the electri-
cally heated rear window and door mirrors.
• "
Turn steering wheel heat on"/"Turn
steering wheel heat off": activates/deacti-
vates the electrically heated steering wheel *.
• "

steering wheel heat": raises/lowers the
heating level for the electrically heated steer- ing wheel *.
• "
Turn on seat heat"/"Turn off seat heat":
activates/deactivates the electrically heated seats *.
• "

Compass
The rear-view mirror has an integrated compass that shows the direction in which the vehicle istraveling.
Rearview mirror with compass
Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north) NE (northeast) E (east),SE (southeast) S (south), SW (southwest) W(west) NW (northwest)
Switching the compass on/offThe compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II.
To switch the compass on/off:
–Use a pen, paperclip or similar object and press in the button on the underside of themirror.

• Ignition modes (p. 370)
Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones and the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
• Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir- ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

Climate control systemThe vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC) that cools, heats, dehumidifiesand filters the air in the passenger compartment.
4-zone climate system
4-zone system climate zones
The 4-zone climate system makes it possible to set the left- and right-side temperatures sepa-rately for the front and rears seats. All climate system settings are made from the center display and the buttons in the center con-sole. Settings for the rear seats can also bemade from the climate system panel on the rearside of the tunnel console.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com- partment temperature based on the perceivedtemperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera- ture is based on a physical perception relating tothe current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc. The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side of the car where sunlight is entering the passengercompartment. This means that the actual tem-perature may differ between the right and leftsides of the compartment, even if the tempera-ture setting is the same for both sides.

Climate system sensors The climate system's sensors help regulate the passenger compartment temperature, humiditylevel, etc.
Location of the sensors
Humidity sensor: in the rearview mirror con- sole.
Ambient temperature sensor: in the pas- senger's side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sen- sor: near the center console buttons.
Sunlight sensor: on the upper side of the dashboard.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth- ing or other objects.
On models equipped with the optional Interior Air Quality System, there is also an air quality sensorlocated at the climate system's air intake.

Parking climate (preconditioning)
The climate in the passenger compartment can be preconditioned and maintained, even whenthe vehicle is parked. For full functionality, the
vehicle's charging cable must be connected .
Parking climate/preconditioning and maintaining pas- senger compartment climate comfort is controlled from the Parking climate tab in the center display's Climate
view.
