Climate
The vehicle is equipped with electronic climate control. The climate system cools, heats anddehumidifies the air in the passenger compart-ment.
All of the climate system functions are controlled from the center display and the buttons on thecenter console. Certain rear seat functions can also be controlled from the climate controls * on the rear of the tun-
nel console.

Climate zones
The vehicle is divided into climate zones to make it possible to set different temperatures for dif-ferent parts of the passenger compartment.
4-zone climate system
Climate zones with 4-zone climate system.
In 4-zone climate systems, the passenger com- partment temperature can be set separately forthe left and right sides of the vehicle, and for thefront and rear seats.

Climate control sensors
The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle.
Location of the sensors
Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror con- sole.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right- side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sensor - near the buttons in the center console.
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the dashboard.

On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System
*, there is also an air quality sensor in the
climate system's air intake.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on per-ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera- ture is based on the physical perception of thecurrent ambient temperature, airflow speed,humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,etc. The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shiningon and adjusts the temperature accordingly. Thismeans that the temperature of the air coming outof the vents may be different for the left and rightsides, even if the temperature setting is the samefor both sides.

Climate control system voice
commands1
Voice commands can be used for the climate control system to e.g. change temperature, acti- vate seat heating * or change blower speed.
Tap and say one of the following commands:
• "
Climate" - starts a command dialog for cli-
mate controls and provides examples of commands that can be used.
• "
Set temperature to X degrees" - sets
desired temperature.
• "
Raise temperature"/"Lower
temperature" - raises/lowers the set tem-
perature.
• "
Sync temperature" - synchronizes the
temperature for all climate zones in the vehi- cle with the temperature set for the driver'sside.
• "
Air on feet"/"Air on body" - opens the
desired air vent.
• "
Air on feet off"/"Air on body off" - closes
the desired air vent.
• "
Set fan to max"/"Turn off fan" - changes
blower speed to Max/Off.
• "
Raise fan speed"/"Lower fan speed" -

Clean Zone Interior Package *
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series of modifications that filters even more allergy andasthma-inducing substances from the passengercompartment.
CZIP includes the following:
• An enhanced function that starts the blower when the vehicle is unlocked using theremote key. The blower will then fill the pas-senger compartment with fresh air. The func-tion starts when required and switches offautomatically after a period of time or whenone of the passenger compartment doors isopened. The amount of time the blower runsgradually decreases due to reduced need upuntil the vehicle is 4 years old.
• The fully automatic Interior Air QualitySystem (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System
*
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto- matic air quality system that removes gases andparticles to reduce odors and contaminants inthe passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants such asparticles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-level ozone. If the system's air quality sensors detect contami- nants in the outside air, the air intake closes andair recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger compartment, the air quality sensor shouldalways be engaged. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to pre- vent fogging. In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windowsand rear window.
