Automatic Air Conditioning - Air Conditioning in the Rear Compartment

Air Conditioning in the Rear Compartment
1 Air volume adjustment
2 Temperature adjustment
3 Airflow direction adjustment

Air Volume Adjustment
0 Blower off
I Maximum blower speed
The air volume is continuously adjustable between these two extreme positions (0 and I).
In position 0 the blower is off and no air flows through the ventilation outlets.
The air volume in the rear compartment is affected by certain settings made on the front control panel.

Temperature Adjustment
Rear seat passengers can set the temperature of the incoming air to their preference:
► Turn toward the blue sector – cooler;
► Turn toward the red sector – warmer.
After the vehicle starts moving, the system works to bring the temperature to the set value as quickly as possible (in any season) and then maintains it at a constant level.
The temperature can only be adjusted when the blower is on, i.e., the blower control must not be in position 0.
