Depending on the temperature set by
the user, the automatic climate control
system automatically regulates the
temperature, flow and distribution of the
passenger compartment air, as well as
the recirculation function. These
settings can be changed by the user,
putting the climate control system
in manual mode (the LED on the AUTO
1 fig. 27 button turns off).

button: directs air flow to the
front seat feet area vents. Due to the
natural tendency of heat to spread
upwards, this type of distribution
warms the passenger compartment
up as quickly as possible, providing
an immediate feeling of warmth.
