Activating and deactivating the automatic start of the heated front seat
The seats can be heated in order to increase comfort for drivers and passengers when it is cold.
It is possible to set whether the automatic starting of the heated seats should be activated/deactivated when the driver is in the car. With automatic starting activated, electric heating will start when the ambient temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or lower.
- Open the climate view in the centre display by tapping on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display.
- Press
- Select the desired setting under Auto driver seat heat and Auto passenger seat heat to activate/deactivate the automatic start of heated drivers and passenger seat.
Regulating fan level for front seat
- The fan can be set to several different automatically controlled fan speeds for the front seat.
- 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; OFF, 1–5 or Max.
- The fan level is changed and the selected level illuminates.
Note
- The climate control system automatically adjusts the airflow 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.

The temperature can be set to the desired number of degrees for the front seat’s climate zones.

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.
Deactivating temperature synchronisation
Tap on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display to open the control.
- Tap on the synchronisation button between the temperature controls.
- The temperature can now be set separately for the various climate zones. The temperature set is now displayed separately in the climate row on the driver’s side and passenger side instead of just in the middle.
- Synchronisation of the temperature can also be deactivated by changing the temperature on the passenger side.
Resetting synchronised temperature
- Press the driver’s side or passenger side temperature button at the bottom of the centre display in order to open the control.
