AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Automatic climate control provides efficient
regulation of the vehicle environment, without
constant adjustments from the occupant.
Sensors inside the vehicle monitor
temperature, humidity an d direct sunlight. The
electronic control system automatically adjusts
the heat input, blower speed, air intake and
airflow distribution, to maintain the selected
temperature(s) and re duce misting. The air
conditioning system al so incorporates a
pollen/odour filter, to further increase the
comfort of the vehicle environment.
Automatic operation provides optimum
comfort under most driving conditions. It is recommended that automatic control
(AUTO) is selected as the normal operating
mode.
Automatic control can be overridden at any
time.
