Instruments and controls Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature zones: 1 Driver's zone. 2 Passenger zone. The temperature in the rear seat will be a mixture of the two zones. If you choose the single zone setting, the entire cabin is treated as one zone. If you choose the dual zone setting, settings can be made separately for the driver's zone and passenger zone. Select between single and dual zone settings under Profiler (see page 117). The cabin temperature can be set to between 58-82°F (15-27°C). In addition, HI (maximum heating and high fan speed) and LO (maximum cooling and maximum fan speed) can be selected. HI and LO can only be selected for the passenger zone if the driver has selected the same setting. The displayed temperature is not the actual air temperature but corresponds to the comfort level normally experienced at that temperature after allowance has been made for the airflow, relative humidity, solar radiation, and so on, currently prevailing inside the car. • The most usual temperature setting is between 66-74°F (19-23°C), depending on personal preference and what clothing is worn. • Change the temperature setting in 2°F (1°C) steps. • Make sure the air vents are open when cooling the cabin in warm weather. Settings when HI is selected: • Maximum heat • Air distribution to windshield and floor • High fan speed (6 bars on the fan display). Settings when LO is selected: • Maximum cooling • Air distribution to air vents in fascia • Maximum fan speed (8 bars on the fan display). • Recirculation ON (depending on outside temperature). 109 Panel vent Air vents The air vents swivel universally, so that air can be directed as desired. In winter, for instance, the outer vents can be directed onto the door windows for enhanced demisting. The amount of air can be individually controlled by the regulator on each vent. If you wish to reduce the airflow, start by halfshutting the vent in question. Certain variants have an air vent on the rear of the floor console.

Instruments and controls
Temperature control
The cabin is divided into two temperature
zones:
1
Driver’s zone.
2
Passenger zone.
The temperature in the rear seat will be a
mixture of the two zones.
If you choose the single zone setting, the
entire cabin is treated as one zone. If you
choose the dual zone setting, settings can
be made separately for the driver’s zone
and passenger zone.
Select between single and dual zone set-
tings under Profiler (see page 117).
The cabin temperature can be set to
between 58–82°F (15–27°C). In addition, HI
(maximum heating and high fan speed) and
LO (maximum cooling and maximum fan
speed) can be selected. HI and LO can only
be selected for the passenger zone if the
driver has selected the same setting.
The displayed temperature is not the actual
air temperature but corresponds to the
comfort level normally experienced at that
temperature after allowance has been
made for the airflow, relative humidity, solar
radiation, and so on, currently prevailing
inside the car.
•
The most usual temperature setting is
between 66–74°F (19–23°C), depending
on personal preference and what clothing
is worn.
•
Change the temperature setting in 2°F
(1°C) steps.
•
Make sure the air vents are open when
cooling the cabin in warm weather.
Settings when HI
is selected:
•
Maximum heat
•
Air distribution to windshield and floor
•
High fan speed (6 bars on the fan display).
Settings when LO
is selected:
•
Maximum cooling
•
Air distribution to air vents in fascia
•
Maximum fan speed (8 bars on the fan
display).
•
Recirculation ON (depending on outside
temperature).

trolled by the regulator on each vent. If you
