TO SWITCH THE SYSTEM ON

The climate control system operates in
position II (run) of the ignition switch.

With the ignition key turned to the run
position, the system will switch on in the
operating mode last set.

Note: It is advisable to allow the system to
stabilise before making large changes to
the temperature setting, particularly at the
start of a journey, refer to Temperature
Selection.

For normal usage select AUTO mode.

AUTO MODE

Automatic operation provides a
controlled environment over a
temperature range of 17°C to 31°C
(61°F to 89°F) and should be regarded as
the normal operating mode.

To select automatic climate
control press the AUTO
button; the word AUTO

appears on the LCD screen to confirm

Select the required temperature.

Front and rear screen heating and timed
air recirculation may be selected in AUTO

cancel AUTO operation.

Automatic operation cannot be
de-selected using the AUTO button. To
exit AUTO mode, select another mode or
press the blower control knob to switch
the system off.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

Separate controls allow
the driver and passenger
zone temperatures to be

independently adjusted. Press the red

blue buttons to decrease temperature.

Both driver and passenger temperatures
are always displayed.

Pressing the driver’s buttons to select the
maximum or minimum temperature
settings causes the display to change to
HI or LO respectively and cancel AUTO
mode.

To quickly jump from HI or LO to a
convenient mid-range temperature
of 23°C (73°F), press and hold AUTO for a
few seconds.
