- Give a short or long press on AUTO.
-
- Short press – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically.
- Long press – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically, temperature and fan speed are changed to standard settings: 22 °C (72 °F) and level 3.
Auto-regulation of the climate is activated and the button illuminates.

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.
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.

Activating and deactivating air conditioning
- The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies incoming air as required.
- When the air conditioning is activated, the climate control system automatically controls starting and switching off as required.
- 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 air conditioning button.
>Air conditioning is activated/deactivated and the button illuminates/extinguishes.
Note
- Close all side windows and the panoramic roof so that the air conditioning should work as well as possible.

Note
- It is not possible to activate air recirculation when max defroster is activated.
- If the air purification sensor detects that the outside air is contaminated, the air intake is closed and air recirculation is activated automatically.
Activating and deactivating time setting for air recirculation
Air recirculation shuts out bad air, exhaust gases, etc. from outside the car by the climate control system reusing the air in the passenger compartment.
It is possible set whether the air recirculation timer should be activated/deactivated. When the timer is activated, air recirculation is automatically switched off after 20 minutes.
- 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 Recirculation timer to activate/deactivate the timer for air recirculation.
Regulating temperature for front seat
The temperature can be set to the desired number of degrees for the front seat’s climate zones.
- Tap on the temperature button at the bottom centre of the centre display to open the control.
- 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.
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.
Tap on the synchronisation button between the temperature controls.
>The temperature for all zones in the car is synchronised with the temperature set for the driver’s side.
Changing air distribution
The air distribution can be changed manually if required.
