ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
The above illustration shows the outlets at
the rear of the center console.
Air is directed to these outlets automati­
cally.
The heater outlets for the rear footwall are
located under the front seats. They are con­
trolled together with outlet 5.
16 6 Solar
roof*
On models with a solar sliding roof, if the ve­
hicle is parked in sufficiently strong sunlight
and the ignition has been turned off, the
blower automatically switches to the solar­
powered mode. The blower motor runs on
solar energy, keeping the vehicle's interior
supplied with fresh air.
For optimum air delivery the center (4) and
the side dashboard vents (3) should be
opened.
The solar -powered fan only works when the
sliding roof is closed or raised open at the
rear.
If the ventilation system happens to be set
to the recirculate mode, the climate control
system automatically switches to the fresh
air mode. Key
coding
To achie ve maximum comfort levels, the
current manual settings for the air condi­
tioning system are automatically saved.
For example, if the air conditioning settings
were changed when someone else used
your car, the air condition system will auto­
matically be reset to the settings that match
your key when you turn on the ignition
again.
This assumes that the previous driver used
a key other than yours. If the previous driver
used your key, his or her new settings
would be assigned to your key.
If a number of persons use the vehicle, then
if possible, each should use a different key.
In this way, your personal air conditioning
set ting will be restored automatically.
