Air ionization icon: Touch to activate air ionization. Air ionization can only be activated when air distribution to the face mode has been selected. Selection of AUTO mode deactivates the air ionization mode.
NOTES

Air ionization technology is designed to improve the air quality within the cabin.
Heated windshield button: Press to switch on or off. If left on, the heated windshield deactivates after a timed period, dependent on the ambient temperature.
NOTES

In cold ambient conditions, the windshield and rear screen heaters switch on automatically when the engine is started. The function can be switched on or off via climate settings. See CLIMATE SETTINGS.

NOTES

The heated windshield operates only when the engine is running.
MAX button: Press to switch maximum defrost for the windshield on or off.
Heated rear screen button: Press to switch on or off. If left on, the heated rear screen deactivates after a timed period, dependent on the ambient temperature.
CAUTION

Do not attach labels to the rear screen. Do not scrape or use abrasive materials to clean the inside of the rear screen.

NOTES

The heated rear screen operates only when the engine is running.
Climate button: Press to access the front climate screen.
Rotary controls: Rotate to adjust the cabin or seat temperature. Press to switch between cabin temperature control and front seats temperature control. See SEAT TEMPERATURE.
Recirculation button: Press to recirculate air inside the vehicle.

Press briefly to select timed recirculation. Recirculation switches off automatically after a set time, dependent on the ambient temperature.

Press and hold to select latched recirculation. Recirculation remains on until the button is pressed again.

NOTES

Prolonged use may cause the windows to mist.
Blower speed control button: Press to switch blower speed adjustment on or off. Turn the rotary control to adjust the blower speed.
NOTES

The blower speed is automatically set in AUTO mode. Adjusting the blower speed cancels AUTO mode.
AUTO mode button: Press to switch fully automatic mode on. Dependent on the vehicle’s specification, the various options for AUTO mode can be set via climate settings. See CLIMATE SETTINGS.
NOTES

AUTO mode is the recommended normal operating mode. In AUTO mode, the system regulates cabin climate based on feedback from the vehicle’s sensors, helping maintain a stable and comfortable cabin environment.

NOTES

When a climate setting is adjusted manually the system exits full AUTO mode, this overrides automatic climate adjustment and delivers only the selected settings.
A/C button: Press to switch the A/C system on or off. The A/C system can be switched on or off independently of the other climate control functions.

NOTES

Some of the buttons have an LED indicator lamp that illuminates to confirm selection.

NOTES

If the climate control system is switched off, pressing the AUTO button or the defrost button switches the climate control system on.

NOTES

Water expelled by the A/C system may collect underneath the vehicle, when parked. The expelled water is not a cause for concern.

TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIATION

The temperatures selected via the climate control system are perceived values. The system operates to achieve these selected values. The selected value does not represent the output temperature from the air vents. Air vent output temperature varies as the system automatically adjusts the vent outputs to achieve the set temperatures.

The actual temperature in the cabin may differ from the set temperatures due to internal and external factors, including ambient temperature, sun load, and direction. The climate control system automatically adjusts the airflow level, direction, and temperature to compensate for these internal and external factors. Automatic adjustments in the air vent outputs may result in some temperature differentiation within the cabin.
