108 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. The cabin temperature can be set to between 61-79°F (16-26°C). The selected 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 64-75°F (18-24°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. When the ignition is switched off, only the temperature control affects the system the next time the engine is started. The system will warm up/cool down to the temperature to which the control is set. 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.
