Temperature control
The cabin is divided into two temperature
zones:
• Driver’s zone;
• Passenger zone (front and rear seats).
The temperature can be controlled within
the interval 16 and 26 °C.
The selected temperature is not the actual
air temperature, but corresponds to the
comfort level normally experienced at that
temperature after allowance has been
made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar
radiation, etc., currently prevailing inside
the car.
• The most usual temperature setting
is 18–24 °C, depending on personal
preference and what clothing is worn.
• It is recommended that changes in the
temperature setting be made in steps
of 1 °C.
Once the desired climate has been
achieved, the rear centre vents can be
closed to prevent warm air being distributed
at face height.
When the ignition is switched off, only the
temperature control affects the system the
next time the engine is started. The system
will warm up/cool down to the temperature
to which the control is set.
