The air conditioning system contains the refrigerant R1234yf under pressure. In accordance with SAE J2845 (Technician Training for Safe Service and Containment of Refrigerants Used in Mobile A/C System), service and repairs to the refrigerant system may only be performed by trained and certified technicians in order to ensure the safety of the system.
Climate zones
The vehicle is divided into climate zones to make it possible to set different temperatures for different parts of the passenger compartment.
2-zone climate system
In 2-zone climate systems, the passenger compartment temperature can be set separately for the left and right sides of the vehicle.
Perceived temperature
- The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on perceived temperature, not actual temperature.
- The selected passenger compartment temperature is based on the physical perception of the current ambient temperature, airflow speed, humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
- The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This means that the temperature of the air coming out of the vents may be different for the left and right sides, even if the temperature setting is the same for both sides.
