Climate
Climate zones
2-zone climate*
The car is equipped with manual or elec-
tronic* climate control. The climate control
system cools or heats as well as dehumidifies
the air in the passenger compartment.
All climate control system functions are con-
trolled from the centre display and physical
buttons in the centre console.
The number of climate zones that the car is
divided into governs the options for setting
different temperatures for different parts of
the passenger compartment.
1-zone climate
Some functions for the rear seat can also be
controlled from the climate controls* at the
rear of the tunnel console.

CLIMATE
With the Interior Air Quality System* there is
also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the
climate control system air intake.
Climate control - sensors
The climate control system has a number of
sensors to help control the climate in the car.
Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the cli-
mate in the passenger compartment based
on the perceived temperature, not on actual
temperature.
The temperature you select in the passenger
compartment corresponds to the physically
perceived temperature as affected by factors
such as the ambient temperature, air speed,
humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around
the car at the time.

The system includes a sun sensor which
detects on which side the sun is shining into
the passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature can differ between the right
and left-hand side's air vents despite the con-
trols being set for the same temperature on
both sides.
Sun sensor - on the upper side of the
instrument panel.
