Notes on using dual-zone automatic climate control
The following contains notes and recommendations on optimum use of dualzone automatic climate control.
- Activate climate control using the
and
buttons. The indicator lamps above
the 
and
buttons light up.
- Set the temperature to 72 °F (22 °C).
- Only use the "defrosting" function briefly until the windshield is clear again.
- Only use "air-recirculation" mode briefly, e.g. if there are unpleasant outside odors or when in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up as, in air-recirculation mode, no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle.
- Use the ZONE function to adopt the
temperature settings on the driver's side
for the front-passenger side as well. The
indicator lamp above the 
button
goes
out.
