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-1

CLIMATE SETTINGS

The following items can be accessed through the Climate app in the APPS screen. See APPS SCREEN.

  1. Automatic heated screens: Automatic operation of the heated windshield and/or the rear heated screen can be enabled or disabled.
  2. Air purity: The air quality sensor, for automatic recirculation, can be adjusted. See AIR QUALITY.
  3. Auto Air Flow: The blower speed for automatic operation can be set to Soft and Quiet, Balanced, or Powerful and Fast.
NOTES
The deployable vents always close when the climate control system is switched off or when the ignition is switched off.

AIR QUALITY

The in-cabin air quality can be enhanced via the air quality features accessible through the AIR QUALITY app. See APPS SCREEN.

Air quality menu:

  1. The exterior particulate (PM2.5) levels, based on exterior particulate matter concentration. Ranges from green (good) to red (hazardous).
  2. The interior particulate (PM2.5) levels, based on interior particulate matter concentration. Ranges from green (good) to red (hazardous).
  3. Information: Further information about the air quality system and its operation.
  4. Exterior air quality as denoted by a color scale. The scale follows the internationally recognized Air Quality Index (AQI).
  5. Interior air quality as denoted by a color scale. The scale follows the internationally recognized Air Quality Index (AQI).
  6. 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 neutralizing odors, 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 Ion feature is represented by the blue dots on the vehicle graphic.
  7. CO₂: The CO₂ management feature ensures CO₂ does not build up in the cabin. The CO₂ management monitors the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the cabin and selectively opens the recirculation door to let in fresh air to return balance to the cabin air environment. Controlling the CO₂ in the cabin can reduce the risk of driver drowsiness. Press the menu option to toggle CO₂ management on or off. A green dot indicates the system is active.
  8. Purify: When purify is enabled, the system will automatically reduces allergens and particulates at and below 2.5 microns, harmful gases and odors within the cabin. Enabling Purify also activates the air quality sensor system which stops polluted air from entering the cabin.
  9. CO₂: Represented by the white arrows on the vehicle graphic. These will animate when the system is actively balancing the cabin environment.

TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIATION

The temperature selected via the climate control system is a perceived value. 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 compensates the vent outputs to achieve the set temperature(s).

The actual temperature in the cabin may differ from the set temperature(s) 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.
