CLIMATE CONTROL
Climate
Climate zones
4-zone climate system*
The vehicle is equipped with electronic cli-
mate control. The climate system cools, heats
and dehumidifies the air in the passenger
compartment.
The vehicle is divided into climate zones to
make it possible to set different temperatures
for different parts of the passenger compart-
ment.
All of the climate system functions are con-
trolled from the center display and the buttons
on the center console.
2-zone climate system
Certain rear seat functions can also be con-
trolled from the climate controls* on the rear
of the tunnel console.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Climate control sensors
Perceived temperature
The climate system has a number of sensors
to help regulate the climate settings in the
vehicle.
The climate control system regulates the cli-
mate in the passenger compartment based
on perceived temperature, not actual tem-
perature.
The selected passenger compartment tem-
perature is based on the physical perception of
the current ambient temperature, airflow
speed, humidity, sunlight in the passenger
compartment, etc.
Do not cover or block the sensors with
clothing or other objects.
Location of the sensors
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air
Quality System*, there is also an air quality
sensor in the climate system's air intake.

•
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-
ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-
ingly. This means that the temperature of the
air coming out of the vents may be different
for the left and right sides, even if the tem-
perature setting is the same for both sides.
