8.8.1.1. Automatic operation
Heating and dehumidified cooling (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the system automatically works to keep a constant temperature. Air flow distribution, fan speed are also controlled automatically.
Depending on the settings, heated seats (where fitted), climate controlled seats (where fitted) and heated steering wheel (where fitted) can also be controlled. (See
.)Use the <AUTO> button or [AUTO] key to turn on the heater and air conditioner in automatic mode. (The colour of the button and key will turn orange.)
Adjust the temperature by using the temperature control button or key, or sliding bar on the corresponding side.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunction.
To save power, use the automatic mode or the ventilation mode. While the <AUTO> button and [AUTO] key turning orange, electric power consumption of the air conditioner system can have a better efficiency compared to the amount consumed with the <AUTO> button and [AUTO] key turning white. While ventilation mode is activated, outside air is drawn into the cabin using the fans with no heating or cooling applied. This significantly reduces energy consumption.
Heating (A/C OFF)
The air conditioner does not activate in this mode. Use this mode when you only need to heat.
Use the <AUTO> button or [AUTO] key to turn on the heater and air conditioner in automatic mode. (Both button and key turn orange.)
Touch the [A/C] key. (The key turns white.)
Use the temperature control button or key on the corresponding side to set the desired temperature.
The temperature of the passenger compartment will be maintained automatically. Air flow distribution and fan speed are also controlled automatically.
It is not recommended to use this mode if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
Push the
button. (The button turns orange.)Use the temperature control button or key on the corresponding side to set the desired temperature.
To quickly remove ice from the outside of the windows, push the
button and the fan speed will automatically go to maximum.As soon as possible after the windscreen is clean, use the <AUTO> button or [AUTO] key to return to the automatic mode.
When the
button is pushed, the air conditioner will automatically be turned on at outside temperatures more than slightly above freezing. The air recirculation mode automatically turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn into the passenger compartment to further improve the defogging performance.
