CLIMATE

Climate

Climate zones

2-zone climate*

The car is equipped with manual or elec-

tronic* climate control. The climate control

system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies

the air in the passenger compartment.

All climate control system functions are con-

trolled from the centre display and physical

buttons in the centre console.

The number of climate zones that the car is

divided into governs the options for setting

different temperatures for different parts of

the passenger compartment.

1-zone climate

Some functions for the rear seat can also be

controlled from the climate controls* at the

rear of the tunnel console.

CLIMATE

With the Interior Air Quality System* there is

also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the

climate control system air intake.

Climate control - sensors

The climate control system has a number of

sensors to help control the climate in the car.

Perceived temperature

The climate control system regulates the cli-

mate in the passenger compartment based

on the perceived temperature, not on actual

temperature.

The temperature you select in the passenger

compartment corresponds to the physically

perceived temperature as affected by factors

such as the ambient temperature, air speed,

humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around

the car at the time.

Interior Air Quality System* (p. 186)

•

The system includes a sun sensor which

detects on which side the sun is shining into

the passenger compartment. This means that

the temperature can differ between the right

and left-hand side's air vents despite the con-

trols being set for the same temperature on

both sides.

Sun sensor - on the upper side of the

instrument panel.
