Climate zones  
The car is equipped with electronic climate  
control. The climate control system cools or  
heats as well as dehumidifies the air in the  
passenger compartment.  
The number of climate zones that the car is  
divided into governs the options for setting  
different temperatures for different parts of  
the passenger compartment.  
All climate control system functions are con-  
trolled from the centre display and physical  
buttons in the centre console.  
1-zone climate  
Some functions for the rear seat can also be  
controlled from the climate controls* at the  
rear of the tunnel console.  
NOTE  
If necessary, the climate control can be  
used to cool the media system in the cen-  
tre display. In these cases, the message  
Climate system Cooling the  
infotainment system is shown in the  
driver display.  
Climate zones with 1-zone climate.  
With 1-zone climate, the temperature in the  
passenger compartment is set jointly for the  
left and right-hand sides.

CLIMATE  
"Turn on auto" - activates automatic cli-  
mate regulation.  
Perceived temperature  
Controlling the climate control  
system using voice control1  
Commands for voice control of the climate  
control system in order to e.g. change tem-  
perature, activate a heated seat* or change  
fan level.  
The climate control system regulates the cli-  
mate in the passenger compartment based  
on the perceived temperature, not on actual  
temperature.  
The temperature you select in the passenger  
compartment corresponds to the physically  
perceived temperature as affected by factors  
such as the ambient temperature, air speed,  
humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around  
the car at the time.  
"Air condition on"/"Air condition off" -  
activates/deactivates the air conditioning.  
"Recirculation on"/"Recirculation off" -  
activates/deactivates the air circulation.  
Tap on  
and say one of the following com-  
"Turn on defroster "/"Turn off  
defroster" - activates/deactivates defrost-  
ing of windows and door mirrors.  
mands:  
"Climate" - starts a dialogue for climate  
control and shows examples of com-  
mands.  
"Turn on max defroster"/"Turn max  
defroster off" - activates/deactivates the  
max defroster.  
The system includes a sun sensor which  
detects on which side the sun is shining into  
the passenger compartment. This means that  
the temperature can differ between the right  
and left-hand side's air vents despite the con-  
trols being set for the same temperature on  
both sides.  
"Set temperature to X degrees" - sets  
the desired temperature.  
"Turn on electric defroster"/"Turn off  
electric defroster" - activates/deacti-  
vates the heated windscreen*.  
"Raise temperature"/"Lower  
temperature" - raise/lower the tempera-  
ture setting one step.  
"Turn on rear defroster"/"Turn off rear  
defroster" - activates/deactivates the  
heated rear window and door mirrors.  
"Sync temperature" - synchronises the  
temperature* for all climate zones in the  
car with the temperature set for the driv-  
er's side.

Materials in the passenger  
compartment  
The interior of the passenger compartment is  
designed to be pleasant and comfortable,

recognition. The ones that do are high-  
lighted with the  
symbol in the list of  
available system languages. Read more  
about where the information can be found  
in the section on settings for voice recogni-  
tion.  
Tested materials have been developed in order  
to reduce the quantity of dust in the passenger  
compartment and to contribute to making the  
passenger compartment easier to keep clean.
