hold the AUTO button for a few seconds.

Air conditioning (A/C)

Air conditioning is an integral
part of the climate control
system, providing cooled and

dehumidified air for occupant comfort;
the dry airflow is also effective in
preventing misting of the windows.

conditioning system on or off. Air
conditioning is controlled automatically
when the vehicle is in AUTO mode.

will remain on.

The front and rear
screen heaters can be
switched on or off in any

mode, even when the climate control
system is off, but will only operate when
the engine is running.

The door mirror heaters are controlled by
the rear screen heater button.

Recommended mode
Select AUTO as the normal operating
mode.This will help prevent window
misting and odours from the climate
control system.

External water deposits
The air conditioning system removes
moisture from the air and deposits the
excess water beneath the vehicle.
Puddles may form, but this is normal
and no cause for concern.

Screen heaters
The windshield and rear screen heaters
will automatically activate on operation
of the DEF button or detection of
exterior temperatures at
5°C or lower.
