These are the primary functions of the heating
and ventilation system. Dependent upon
specification, the control panel may differ from
those shown.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning is an integral part of the
heating and ventilation system, providing
cooled and dehumidified air for occupant
comfort. The dry airflow is effective in
preventing misting of windows and is also
beneficial at low external temperatures.

Air conditioning is automatically switched on
and controlled whenever the system is not
operating in ECON mode.

Auto mode (Automatic systems)

Press AUTO to select automatic
operation of the system, both LEDs
in the switch will illuminate.

The system will adjust the heat

output, blower speed, air intake and airflow
distribution to maintain the selected
temperature(s) and reduce misting without
further adjustments.

External water deposits

The air conditioning system removes
moisture from the air and deposits excess
water beneath the vehicle. Puddles may form,
but this is no cause for concern.
