Warm and Cold
Climate Control System
Your vehicle has a deluxe automatic climate control system with three zones in which the temperature, air distribution and air supply can be adjusted separately for the front left and right sides, as well as the temperature in the rear.

The automatic climate control system automatically maintains a temperature once it has been set. In all heating mode functions except defrost, the blower only switches to a higher speed once the coolant has reached a certain temperature.
