The seats can be heated in order to increase comfort for driver and passengers when it is cold.It is possible to set whether automatic starting of the heated seats should be activated/deactivated when the driver is in the car.

Regulating fan level for front seat

The fan can be set to several different automatically controlled fan speeds for the front seat.
  1. Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
    • Tap on the desired fan level; OFF15 or Max.
The fan level is changed and the selected level illuminates.

Important
If the fan is fully switched off then the air conditioning is not engaged, which results in a risk of misting on the insides of the windows.

Note
The climate control system automatically adjusts the air flow within the selected fan level based on requirements. This means that the fan speed may change even though the fan level is the same.

High fan level in the rear seat may cause increased sound volume in the front seat.

Regulating temperature for front seat

The temperature can be set to the desired number of degrees for the front seat’s climate zones.
  1. Tap on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display to open the control.
  2. Tap on the arrows to the side of the temperature to increase or decrease the temperature. There is also the option to tap directly on the arrows without first tapping on the temperature button, when the temperature is synchronised.
    • The temperature changes and the button shows the set temperature.

Note
Heating or cooling cannot be hastened by selecting a higher or lower temperature than the actual desired temperature.

Synchronising temperature

The temperature in the car’s different climate zones is synchronised by default with the temperature set on the driver’s side, but it is possible to deactivate synchronisation and set the temperature separately for the various climate zones.
