Controls in detail

4-zone automatic climate control*

The climate control is a 4-zone intelligent
climate control system. Your vehicle interi-
or is divided into 4 zones.

With the help of a sun sensor, the climate
control determines the relation of the sun
to the vehicle and automatically adjusts
the inside temperature for every individual
zone.

You can set the temperature for each of
the 4 zones separately.

The climate control is operational whenev-
er the engine is running. It cools the vehi-
cle’s interior according to the angle and
intensity of the sun’s rays, the outside tem-
perature and the selected temperature.
You can operate the climate control sys-
tem in either the automatic or manual
mode.

Warning!

G

When operating the climate control, the air

that enters the passenger compartment

through the air vents can be very hot or very

cold (depending on the set temperature).

This may cause burn or frostbite to unpro-

tected skin in the immediate area of the air

vents. Always keep sufficient distance be-

tween unprotected parts of the body and the

air vents. If necessary, use the air distribu-

tion controls (

page 217) or (

page 216)

to direct the air to air vents in the vehicle in-

terior that are not in the immediate area of

unprotected skin.
