Automatic climate
control (ACC)
The air is drawn in through an intake at the
bottom edge of the windshield. It passes
through an efficient filter before being
routed through the climate-control system
andintothecabin.Thecabindischargevent
is located on the right behind the rear
bumper. The air discharge vents should be
kept free of snow and ice in the winter.
ACC (Automatic Climate Control) automati-
cally maintains the desired cabin tempera-
ture, regardless of the weather outside.
The system will achieve the desired temper-
ature in the quickest possible way.

2 Adjusting the air flow
Note that heating or cooling is not
speeded up by setting the temperature
higher or lower than you really want.
For the ACC system to be most effective, all
windows, and the sunroof if there is one,
must be closed, and the panel vents must
be open.
The incoming air is treated in three stages:
first it passes through a filter; it is then dehu-
midified and cooled and, finally, if required,
heated.
The temperature interval within which you
can make adjustments is 58-82°F
(15-27°C).Outsideit,thereistheHIposition
(max. heat and high fan speed) and the LO
position (max. cooling and max. fan speed).
The displayed temperature is not the actual
temperature but corresponds to the comfort
level normally experienced at that tempera-
ture after allowance has been made for the
air flow, relative humidity, solar radiation,
etc., currently prevailing inside the car.
• It is recommended that changes in the
temperature setting be made in steps of
2°F (1°C).
•
Conversion between °C and °F is done in
the SID unit; see ”Units and language ver-
sions”, page 69.
•
•
During the cooling phase in warm
weather the panel vents must be open.
Do not manually select recirculation in
cold/wintery weather. The reduced air
flow can cause misting and ice on the
inside of the windows.
•
The most usual temperature setting is
66-74°F (19-23°C), depending on per-
sonal preference and what clothing is
worn.
