You should therefore open them for maximum cooling. Temperature Set the desired temperature. The values on the dial are approximations of the respective temperature resulting in the passenger compartment. The automatic climate control achieves this temperature as quickly as possible regardless of the season, using maximum cooling or heating power if necessary, and then maintains it. If you switch between different temperature settings in quick succession, the Air flow rate, manual Adjust the air flow rate. The arrow lights up. The automatic air distribution remains unchanged.
