For optimum comfort, it is recom-

mended to avoid a difference of set-

tings of more than than 3 between

right and left.

Actual temperatures experienced in

the passenger compartment are de-

pendent on external factors and for

this reason might not be identical to

those displayed.

On entering the vehicle, the inside

temperature may be much colder (or

hotter) than would be comfortable. It

serves no purpose to alter the tem-

perature displayed in an attempt to

attain your preference more rapidly.

The system operates automatically

to correct the difference in tempera-

ture as soon as possible.
