Panel functions


Auto

All functions are controlled automatically. When the AUTO button is pressed again, the display is changed between the basic and full display. This selection is stored in memory and is then used during continued driving, until it is removed. The basic display shows settings for AUTO, temperature, electrically heated rear window/door mirrors, ECON and recirculation while full display shows all settings including AUTO, temperature, ventilation fan, air distribution, electrically heated rear window, OFF, ECON and recirculation.

ECON, electrically heated rear window/door mirrors, recirculation and temperature up or down can be selected without leaving AUTO mode.

Temperature up or down


Selection of cabin temperature in steps of one degree Celsius between +15°C and +27°C, alternatively in steps of two degrees Fahrenheit between+58°F and +82°F.

If temperature above +27°C (+82°F) is selected, the display shows “HI” as selected temperature. Similarly, “LO” is displayed if a temperature below +15°C (+58°F) is selected.

When the ignition is turned on, the last selected value is always used.

Recommended setting is 21 ± 3°C, alternatively 70 ± 6°F. Units are as set on the SID.

If a value higher than 27°C, alternatively 82°F is selected, “HI” is displayed and the system is set according to the following:


Fan current 18 A

Adjusting

Using the diagnostics tool, the ACC unit can be adjusted to:


Increase or decrease the temperature compared to the one set on the display.

Increase the fan speed more than normally for a short period of time if the selected temperature is changed.
