Provides maximum comfort in any weather and outdoor temperature at any time of the year.
In order to ensure a constant and comfortable climate in the car, the temperature of the incoming air, as well as the air flow and air distribution, are automatically adjusted depending on the outside atmospheric conditions.
Temperature changes due to external influences such as sunlight are automatically compensated.
With cooling on (air conditioning compressor) air is cooled and dehumidified.
If cooling or dehumidification is not required, press the key to save fuel «ECO».
In automatic mode, climate control ensures that optimal parameters are maintained in almost any conditions. If necessary, the climate control parameters can be adjusted manually.
The full range of climate control functions is only available when the engine is running.
At low outside temperatures, cooling (air conditioning compressor) turns off automatically.
Auto mode
Initial setting for maximum comfort:
- press a key «AUTO»;
- open all airflow nozzles;
- turn on the air conditioner compressor;
- pre-set the temperature to 22°C using the regulator.
If necessary, the set temperature can be set to a higher or lower value.
When the A/C compressor is turned off (the display will show «ECO») the level of comfort and safety may be reduced.
All blower nozzles in automatic mode are adjusted automatically, so they must be constantly open.
Set temperature
The set temperature can be set by means of the left regulator on values from 16°C to 28°C.
For reasons of comfort, change the set temperature only by small values.
When the temperature is set below 16°C, the air conditioner indicator displays «LO»: climate control constantly operates at maximum cooling capacity; temperature control is not performed.
When setting the temperature above 28 «C is displayed on the air conditioner indicator «HI»: climate control constantly works with maximum heating power; temperature control is not performed.
Setting the set temperature after switching off the ignition remains recorded in the memory.
Manual settings
In special circumstances (e.g. when the windows are iced or misted) climate control settings can be adjusted manually.
Manual settings remain memorized after the ignition is switched off.
Removing moisture and frost from windows
Press the key, the icon will appear on the air conditioner indicator.
Attention! Failure to follow these rules can lead to fogging of the windows and accidents as a result of reduced visibility.
Temperature, air distribution and airflow are automatically set to defrost and dry the glass quickly.
Return to automatic mode: press the key or the «AUTO».
Heated rear window, heated exterior mirrors
Press the key on the air conditioner indicator, the icon will appear.
Note. The heating only works when the engine is running.
The rear window and exterior mirrors are quickly freed from frost and moisture.
The heating switches off automatically after about 15 minutes. To disable prematurely: press the key again.
Turning the air conditioning compressor on and off
Press key «ECO», the icon will appear on the air conditioner indicator «ECO».
Fuel saving mode. In this mode, cooling (air conditioning compressor) turned off.
Cooling and dehumidification of the incoming air is not carried out, thereby limiting the comfort provided by climate control. This can lead, for example, to the windows fogging up.
To return to cooling mode, press the key «ECO», the indicator lamp goes off.
Air distribution
Press one or more of the following keys, the corresponding symbol appears on the air conditioner indicator:
: air distribution to the windshield and to the front side windows.
: distribution of air to the car's passengers through adjustable air vents.
: air distribution in the lower space of the cabin.
Return to automatic mode: press the corresponding keys or key again «AUTO».
Air flow
The airflow is controlled by the right knob. The set blowing force is shown in bars.
To turn off the airflow and at the same time the climate control, turn the right knob to the left until the indicator goes out.
Turn the knob to the right to turn it on.
To return to automatic mode, press the key «AUTO».
Air circulation mode
The air circulation system prevents outside air from entering the passenger compartment while recirculating the internal air of the passenger compartment.
Press the key on the indicator of the air conditioner, the icon will appear.
In air circulation mode, air exchange is limited. The air quality inside the cabin deteriorates over time, which can lead to passenger fatigue. In non-cooling mode, the air humidity increases and the windows may fog up. Therefore, turn on the air circulation mode only for a short time.
To turn off the air circulation mode, press the key again.
Air conditioning when the engine is not running
When the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off, the heat or cold still present in the system can be used to air-condition the passenger compartment, for example when stopping at a railway crossing.
To do this, press the key «AUTO» when the ignition is off, the set temperature appears on the air conditioner indicator. The temperature is controlled by the left knob.
The duration of air conditioning is limited.
To end prematurely, press the key «AUTO».
