Heating and ventilation

Automatic system

Manual system

These are the primary functions of the heating 
and ventilation system. Dependent upon 
specification, the control panel may differ from 
those shown.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning is an integral part of the 
heating and ventilation system, providing 
cooled and dehumidified air for occupant 
comfort. The dry airflow is effective in 
preventing misting of windows and is also 
beneficial at low external temperatures.

Air conditioning is automatically switched on 
and controlled whenever the system is not 
operating in ECON mode.

Auto mode (Automatic systems)

Press AUTO to select automatic 
operation of the system, both LEDs 
in the switch will illuminate.

The system will adjust the heat 

output, blower speed, air intake and airflow 
distribution to maintain the selected 
temperature(s) and reduce misting without 
further adjustments.

External water deposits

The air conditioning system removes 
moisture from the air and deposits excess 
water beneath the vehicle. Puddles may form, 
but this is no cause for concern.

thereby improving fuel consumption.

Recommended mode

Select AUTO as the normal operating mode. 
This will help prevent window misting and 
odours from the climate control system.

Operating note

On the automatic system, it is not possible to 
achieve a temperature differential of more 
than 4°C (7°F) between the left and right.
