Press the buttons to turn the functions on or off.

Use the controls to adjust the temperature, the blower speed and the air distribution. The LED in a button will light up when the function is switched on. The front settings are shown in the climate control system display and in the Infotainment system display for a few seconds. The driver and front passenger settings can be adjusted separately.

The settings can also be adjusted in the rear fig. 74.

[OFF] Switching the climate control system on/off

The [OFF] button switches the climate control system on or off. It also switches on when you press the control. Airflow from outside is blocked when the climate control system is switched off.

The [OFF] button in the rear only switches the A/C system on/off in the rear of the vehicle.

[A/C] Switching cooling mode on/off

The air is not cooled and humidity is not removed when cooling mode is switched off. This can cause fog on the windows. The cooling mode switches off automatically when there are cold outside temperatures.

Switching recirculation mode on/off

In recirculation mode, the air inside the vehicle is circulated and filtered. This prevents the unfiltered air outside the vehicle from entering the vehicle interior. We recommend switching recirculation mode on when driving through a tunnel or when sitting in traffic.

The [AUTO] button or [ FRONT], button switches recirculation mode off.

[AUTO] Switching automatic mode on

Automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the vehicle. Air temperature, airflow and air distribution are controlled automatically.

If press and hold the button longer, 72 ºF (22 ºC) will be set.

Adjusting the temperature

Temperatures between 60 ºE (+16 ºC) and 84 ºE (+28 ºC) can be set. Outside of this range, LO or HI will appear in the climate control system display.

In both settings, the climate control runs constantly at the maximum cooling or heating level. The temperature is not regulated.

Adjusting the blower

You can adjust the volume of air generated by the blower to your preference. The blower should always run at a low setting to prevent the windows from fogging and to ensure a continuous exchange of air inside the vehicle. To have the blower regulated automatically, press the [AUTO] button.

Adjusting air distribution

You can manually select the vents where the air will flow. To have the air distribution regulated automatically, press the [AUTO] button.

Adjusting seat heating/seat ventilation

Pressing the button switches the seat heating/ seat ventilation on at the highest setting (level 3). The LEDs indicate the temperature level. To reduce the temperature, press the button again.

To switch the seat heating/seat ventilation off, press the button repeatedly until the LED turns off.

After 10 minutes, the seat heating automatically switches from level 3 to level 2.

[ FRONT] Switching the defroster on/off

The windshield and side windows are defrosted or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.

The maximum amount of air flows mainly from the vents below the windshield. Recirculation mode switches off. The temperature should be set to approximately 72 ºF (22 ºC).

The [AUTO] button switches the defroster off.

[REAR] Switching the rear window defogger on/off

The rear window heater only operates when the engine is running. It switches off automatically after a few minutes, depending on the outside temperature.

To prevent the rear window heater from switching off automatically, press and hold the [REAR] button for more than 2 seconds. This is stored until the ignition is switched off.

[SYNC] Synchronization

When synchronization is switched on, the settings for the driver's side are applied to the front passenger's side (except for seat heating/ventilation).

The settings in the rear are also synchronized.

Synchronization switches off if the settings are adjusted on the front passenger's side or in the rear.

You can synchronize the settings in a row by pressing and holding a control. For example, to apply the settings for the front passenger's side to the driver's side, press and hold the control on the front passenger's side. The same applies to the rear.

Residual heat

With the ignition turned off, you can activate the residual heat function by pressing the button fig. 73. The residual heat from the coolant is used to heat the vehicle interior. The residual heat function switches off automatically after about 30 minutes.

Air vents

You can open or close the center and rear vents in the cockpit and the vents in the rear center console and door pillars using the ridged thumbwheels.

The levers adjust the direction of the airflow from the vents.

WARNING

• You should not use the recirculation mode for an extended period of time since no fresh air is drawn in. With the air-conditioning switched off, the windows can fog up, which increases the risk of an accident.
• Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain or temperature could develop burns when using the seat heating function. To reduce the risk of injury, these individuals should not use seat heating.

Note

To avoid damage to the heating elements in the seats, do not kneel on the seats or place heavy loads on a small area of the seat.
