Switching Mono Mode Off  
Temperature Control  
Select a temperature for the passenger  
side using the rotary control on the  
passenger side. Mono mode automatically  
switches off. The temperature on the driver  
side remains unchanged. You can now  
adjust the driver side and passenger side  
temperatures independently. The  
temperature settings for each side are  
shown in the display.  
Switching Mono Mode Back On  
Press and hold the AUTO button. The  
passenger side temperature is adjusted to  
the driver side temperature setting.  
You can set the temperature between  
60°F (15.5°C) and 85°F (29.5°C). In  
position LO, the system switches to  
permanent cooling. In position HI, the  
system switches to permanent heating.  
Note: If you select either position LO or HI,  
the system does not regulate a stable  
temperature.  
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE  
INTERIOR CLIMATE  
General Hints  
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may  
Mono Mode  
cause the windows to fog up.  
In this mode, the temperature settings for  
both the driver side and passenger side are  
linked. If you adjust the setting using the  
rotary control on the driver side, the system  
adjusts the temperature to the same  
setting on the passenger side.  
Note: A small amount of air may be felt  
from the footwell air vents regardless of the  
air distribution setting.  
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside  
your vehicle, do not drive with the system  
switched off or with recirculated air always  
switched on.  
Note: Do not place objects under the front  
seats as this may interfere with the airflow  
to the rear seats.  
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from  
the air intake area at the base of the  
windshield.
