2 - Adjustment of temperature
The system can regulate temperature on an indepen-dent basis for the left hand side and right hand side as well as for the rear of the passenger compartment. Front and rear passengers can thus adjust their own temperatures.
To display the desired temperature, press button :
- – to decrease the temperature,
- + to increase the temperature.
An adjustment around 21 will provide an agreeable temperature level. However, depending on your prefe-rence, anything between 18 and 24 is quite normal.
For optimum comfort, it is recommended to avoid an adjustment difference greater than 3 between right and left.
Note : Actual temperatures experienced in the passenger compartment are dependent on external factors and for this reason might not be identical to those displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside temperature may be much colder (or hotter) than would be comfortable. It serves no purpose to alter the temperature displayed in an attempt to attain your preference more rapidly. The system automatically does all in its power to make up the difference in temperature as soon as possible.
