Notes:
- When you enter the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle may be much colder (or warmer) than a comfortable temperature. It is no use modifying the displayed temperature to try to attain the desired level of comfort. The system automatically strives to compensate this temperature discrepancy as rapidly as possible.
- When starting the engine from cold, in order to avoid distributing too much cold air, the blower will attain its optimum level gradually.
