FRONT CLIMATE CONTROL

WARNING
In the interest of safety, only operate or adjust the system when it is safe to do so. Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.

WARNING
Do not adjust the climate controls, or allow the system to distract the driver, while the vehicle is moving. Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.

The climate control touch panel is located on the lower center console. The interior climate can be adjusted as follows:

Climate control on-off switch: Touch to switch climate control on or off.
AUTO mode soft key: Press to switch fully automatic mode on. Various options for AUTO mode can be set via the Climate menu. See APPS SCREEN.
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.
Maximum defrost and demist soft key: Touch to switch maximum defrost and demist for the windshield on or off. Maximum defrost and demist directs warm, dry air at the windshield for effective windshield defrosting and demisting.
Max A/C soft key: Touch to switch maximum A/C mode on or off. Maximum A/C adjusts settings for quicker cabin cooling.
A/C soft key: Touch to switch the Air Conditioning (A/C) system on or off. The A/C system can be switched on or off independently of the other climate control functions. The LED illuminates amber to indicate A/C is operating.
NOTES
The A/C system can be switched on or off independently of the other climate control functions. However, this will not work if MAX A/C, or maximum demist, are active.
Air distribution control soft key: Touch to access the menu screen for air direction. Choose between face level, foot level and windshield vent output, or a combination of the three.
NOTES
Air ionization technology is designed to improve the air quality within the cabin.
Recirculation soft key: Touch to recirculate air inside the vehicle.
NOTES
Prolonged use at low temperatures may cause the windows to mist.
Rotary control display. The center of the rotary control displays the current requested temperature.
Rotary control. Press to switch between cabin or seat temperature adjustment. Rotate clockwise to adjust requested temperature upwards, counter-clockwise to adjust the requested temperature downwards. See HEATED SEATS.
Terrain Response button: Touch to enable terrain response. See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION.
EV mode soft key: Touch to enable the electric vehicle mode.
NOTES
On non-PHEV models this key is marked All Terrain Progress Control (ASPC). See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) OVERVIEW.
All Terrain Progress Control (ASPC) and Descent Control Mode soft key toggle: toggles between ASPC and Descent Control modes. See ALL TERRAIN PROGRESS CONTROL (ATPC) OVERVIEW and DESCENT CONTROL MODE.
NOTES
On non-PHEV models this key is marked Descent Control Mode. See DESCENT CONTROL MODE.
Dynamic stability control (DSC) off soft key: Press to switch dynamic stability control off. See SWITCHING DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) OFF.
Start/stop soft key. Use to disable the automatic engine stop/start feature. See AUTO STOP/START.
Blower speed adjust button: Press the blower speed button then use one of the rotary controllers (8) to adjust the cabin blower fan speed up (clockwise) or down (counter-clockwise).
Heated rear screen soft key: Touch to switch on or off. If left on, it deactivates after a timed period, dependent on the outside temperature.
Heated windshield soft key: Touch to switch on or off. If left on, it deactivates after a timed period, dependent on the outside temperature.

NOTES
The EV mode soft key (10) and ASPC/Descent Control soft key (11) are configured differently on non-hybrid vehicles.

NOTES
When the external temperature is low enough that ice may be present on the road, an amber snowflake warning lamp illuminates in the instrument panel. See EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE (YELLOW).

NOTES
In cold ambient conditions, the windshield and rear screen heaters switch on automatically when the engine is started. The feature can be switched on or off via the Climate menu on the touchscreen. See APPS SCREEN

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES IF THIS VEHICLE IS FITTED WITH AN AIR IONIZER.
United States of America, Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA):

This vehicle, which may be fitted with a regulated pesticide device (air ionizer) was produced at the following facility: EPA Est. 93184-GBR-2

California Air Resources Board (ARB), Air Cleaning Devices Regulation:

The following applies to the air ionizer device that may be fitted in this vehicle:

CLIMATE SETTINGS

To view the climate settings menu:

Select the home screen on the touchscreen.
Select the Apps icon.
Select the Climate app.

See APPS SCREEN.

Automatic heated screens: Automatic operation of the heated windshield and/or the rear heated screen can be enabled or disabled.
Air Quality: The air quality system filters out fine particle matter, allergens and pollen and even strong smells. It is capable of filtering ultrafine particles up to and below PM2.5. It also neutralizes pathogens and odors. See AIR QUALITY.
Auto air flow: The blower speed for automatic operation can be set to Soft and Quiet, Balanced, or Powerful.
Auto sunroof blind: The auto sunroof blind feature can be enabled or disabled. See ELECTRIC WINDOWS.

AIR QUALITY

The air quality sensor detects harmful gases outside the car and closes the air recirculation door when necessary. The air quality can be monitored and adjusted via the AIR QUALITY sub menu. Access the AIR QUALITY sub menu via CLIMATE within the Apps menu. See APPS SCREEN.

Air quality menu:

Auto purify: Enables auto purify mode. The system automatically purifies the cabin. Also activates the Air Quality Sensor and Air ionizing.
Air ionizing: The air quality system uses Nano-e technology to improve air quality inside the vehicle. The system condenses moisture from cabin air and breaks it into tiny electrically charged particles. These particles react with air contaminants neutralising odours, bacteria and allergens. Shielded by water, the particles last longer and disperse even further than those from conventional ionizers, helping to maintain a healthier cabin for even longer. The effect of the purification action on the cabin air relative to the air outside is displayed on the colored bar graph, 3 and 4. This is denoted by a color scale highlighting the indoor and outdoor air quality. The scale follows the internationally recognized Air Quality Index (AQI).
The interior PM2.5 levels, based on interior particulate matter concentration. Ranges from green (excellent) to red (very poor).
The exterior PM2.5 levels, based on exterior particulate matter concentration. Ranges from green (excellent) to red (very poor).

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.
