Electronic climate control (ECC)
AUTO
This function automatically regulates the Electronic Climate Control sys\
tem so that the selected
temperatures are maintained. The blower, heating, air distribution (air\
flow), air conditioning, and
optional air quality sensor are controlled. If you prefer to manually set any of these functions, the remaining
functions will still be controlled automatically. Pressing the AUTO butt\
on overrides any settings that were
previously made manually.

Rear window and sideview mirror defrosters
This function defrosts/ de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors.
The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the heating functio\
n is engaged. See
page 61 for additional
information on this function.
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirr\
or surface.

Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sid\
es of the passenger compartment.
Please note that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by \
setting the temperature higher or lower
than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.

h will be lit.
- Press the switch a second time for comfort heating. One LED in the swi\
tch will be lit.

F" LED will light up to indicate if the
system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated au\
tomatically (if the AUTO switch is on).

C).
l While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is tempor\
arily activated to dehumidify the air,
even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will o\
nly function if the blower is not switched
off.
Recirculation
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the pass\
enger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicat\
e that the function is engaged.
l Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases,\
smoke, etc or to heat/cool the vehicle
quickly.
l Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windo\
ws begin to fog or mist, make sure
that the recirculation function is switched off.
l Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
l Timer mode activation: (Vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality\
system have no timer mode) Press and
hold the recirculation button for at least 3 seconds to activate a recir\
culation timer mode. The amber LED in the
recirculation button will flash 5 times to show that the timer mode is b\
eing activated. In timer mode, each time
the recirculation button is pressed, the climate control system will rec\
irculate the air in the passenger
compartment for 5-12 minutes, depending on the outside air temperature, \
and then revert back to fresh air.
l Timer mode deactivation: Press and hold the recirculation button for 3 s\
econds. The amber LED in the
recirculation button will illuminate steadily for 5 seconds to show a re\
turn to "normal" mode.
l In normal mode, when the recirculation button is pressed, the climate co\

system will recirculate the air in the passenger compartment until the r\
ecirculation button is pressed again.
l Timer mode memory: If the vehicle is turned off while timer mode is acti\
ve, timer mode will still be active
when the vehicle is restarted.
Interior air quality sensor (option)
Some vehicles are equipped with a multi-filter and air quality sensor. T\
he filter separates gases and particles,
thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehi\
cle. The air quality sensor detects
increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air qualit\
y sensor detects contaminated outside air,
the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is re\
circulated, i.e. no outside air enters the
vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. \
When the ECC system is in the AUTO mode, the green LED will be on
.
Operation
Press
to operate the air quality sensor (normal setting).
or:
Select one of the following three functions by pressing
1, 2 or 3 times.
1. The AUT LED lights. The air quality sensor is now activated.
2. No LED lights. Recirculation is not activated unless needed to cool t\
he passenger compartment in a warm
climate.
3. The MAN LED lights. Recirculation is now activated.
Keep in mind the following:
l Make it a rule to have the air quality sensor activated at all times.
l Recirculation is limited in cold climates to avoid fogging.
l If window fogging occurs, you should deactivate the air quality sensor. \
l If fogging occurs, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side \
windows and rear window. See page 80.
l The filter should be changed at the intervals recommended in the service\
schedule. However, if the vehicle is
used in a severely contaminated environment, it may be necessary to chan\
ge the filter more frequently.
