Instruments and controls Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature zones: • The driver's zone • The passenger zone (front and rear seats) The desired temperature can be set between 58 and 82°F (15 and 27°C). In addition, there are also HI and LO settings (see below). The HI and LO settings for the passenger zone can only be selected if they are also selected for the driver's zone. The displayed temperature is not the absolute temperature but corresponds to the comfort level normally experienced at that temperature after allowance has been made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar radiation, etc., currently prevailing inside the car. • The most usual temperature setting is 64-76°F (18-24°C), depending on personal preference and what clothing is worn. • To allow the system time to adjust, changes in the temperature setting can only be made in steps of 2°F (1°C). • Once the desired climate has been achieved, the rear center vents can be closed to prevent warm air being distributed at face height. Settings when HI selected: 75 • Maximum heat • Air distribution to windshield and floor • Recirculation OFF (even if manually selected before) • Fan: high speed • Settings shown on ACC display Settings when LO selected: • Maximum cooling (A/C compressor will run even if ECON manually selected before) • Air distribution through panel vents • Fan: maximum speed • Recirculation ON • Settings shown on ACC display Air vent at rear side window IB369
