imum difference of 7°C.
The climate control system compressor only works with
the engine running and with an outdoor temperature of
above 4°C.Automatic climate control operation (AUTO

❍the amount of air introduced into the passenger com-
partment;
❍the distribution of air inside the passenger compart-
ment;

During climate control system automatic operation the
words FULL AUTO appear on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to adjust the
set temperature and carry out the following operations
manually:
❍adjust fan speed;
❍select air distribution;
❍switch air recirculation and AQS function on/off;
❍switch on the climate control system compressor.
It is advisable not to use the air recircula-
tion function when the outside temperature
is low to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.
