possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the internal
air recirculation on when it is rainy/cold or the
windows might steam up, especially if the climate
control system is not turned on.

DESCRIPTION
The car is equipped with a dual zone climate
control system which allows you to adjust the air
temperature on the driver's and the passenger's
side separately.
The system has an AQS function (Air Quality
System), which automatically activates internal air
recirculation when the outside air is polluted
(e.g. in traffic queues and tunnels).
