The following contains notes and recommendations on optimum operation of dual-zone automatic climate control.

- Activate climate control using the and buttons. The indicator lamps in 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 in the button goes out.
