WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, thismay diminish the protection provided bythe airbag in the event of a collision. To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright aspossible with their feet on the floor andbacks against the backrest. Seatbeltsmust be secured.

Actual temperature
The temperature you select in the passenger compartment corresponds to the physicalexperience with reference to factors such asair speed, humidity and solar radiation etc. inand around the car. The system includes a sun sensor (p. 116) which detects on which side the sun is shin-ing into the passenger compartment. Thismeans that the temperature can differbetween the right and left-hand air ventsdespite the controls being set for the sametemperature on both sides.
