4.2.3. Temperature and air conditioning  
By using the automatic climate settings, your car's climate system aims to always provide you with a  
comfortable interior environment. However, if you want to, you can always make adjustments to your liking.  
The auto climate mode provides a comfortable interior environment in most circumstances. However, adjustments can always  
be made. For example, you can make changes to the temperature settings, let different climate zones have their own settings  
and change the settings for the air conditioning.

Note  
In certain circumstances, the air coming from the air vents might not be as cool as expected. The need for cooling is  
distributed between the battery and the passenger compartment. This helps to provide good conditions for the battery's  
performance and range.  
4.2.3.1. Activating air conditioning  
The air conditioning cools and dehumidifies the incoming air.  
When you select the air conditioning it automatically activates or deactivates to maintain the set temperature.  
For the air conditioning to work efficiently, windows, doors and the boot need to be closed.

Press the fan symbol  
in the bottom bar.  
2. Press the air conditioning symbol  
.

4.2.3.3. Synchronising temperature  
By default, the driver's temperature setting is used for all climate zones. However, each climate zone can also  
have its own individual setting. You can switch between the two options by desynchronising and  
synchronising the temperature.  
1. Press the temperature setting in the bottom bar.

offer additional adjustability of the airflow throughout the car.  
Adjustable air vents  
The locations of the adjustable air vents  
The adjustable air vents can be redirected to control the direction of the airflow.  
Climate modes  
There are two climate modes – automatic and manual. The automatic mode takes care of most adjustments and climate func-  
tions for you. However, in manual mode, you can control more of the available adjustments and functions yourself.  
You can also turn the climate system off completely.  
Important  
Condensation risk  
Turning the climate system off completely may cause condensation on the windows, which could affect visibility.
