Centre foot/face level vents
When the air conditioning air distribution 
control is set to either ‘Auto’ or ‘Face and Foot’ 
outlet, the temperature of the air emitted 
through the foot/face level vents can be finely 
adjusted to differentiate between foot and face 
temperature. Rotate the thumbwheel (1), 
towards the left (red indicator) for warm air and 
to the right (blue indicator) for cooler air.Side face level vents

CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
The air conditioning system features automatic 
temperature and air distribution control, which 
is programmed to maintain optimum levels of 
comfort within the vehicle in all but the most 
severe climatic conditions.
While the controls can be adjusted manually to 
satisfy individual requirements, allowing the 
system to function automatically (in Auto 
mode) is by far the simplest method of 
operation for the owner and is preferable in 
most operating conditions.
1. Auto mode
In Auto mode, air conditioning, air distribution, 
blower speeds and air recirculation are adjusted 
automatically to achieve and then maintain the 
desired driving environment.
•Press AUTO (1) for fully automatic 
operation (both indicator lights in the 
switch illuminate).
•Rotate the temperature controls (5) to 
select the required temperature.
•Let the automatic temperature control 
system do the rest.Both the air distribution and blower controls 
can be operated independently to override the 
automatic setting. In this case, the appropriate 
indicator light in the AUTO switch 
extinguishes (the circular light represents the 
blower, the rectangular light represents air 
distribution). Press AUTO again to 
re-establish automatic operation.
Note: If the air distribution and blower controls 
are operated independently, the system may 
not be able to achieve or maintain the required 
temperature settings.
2. Front seat heaters
*
Press once to operate at a high 
level, press twice to heat the seats 
at a lower level. For further 
information concerning the operation of both 
front and rear seat heaters, please refer to SEAT 
HEATERS*, 107.

3. Defrost mode
If the windshield is misting or 
covered in ice, press to activate the 
automatic defrost programme; the 
system will immediately direct its output to 
achieve maximum shield clearing by:
•Setting the blower speed and temperature 
to maximum.
•Distributing air flow to the shield only.
•Deactivating the rear blower.
•Deactivating air recirculation.
In addition, the rear and front shield heaters will 
be switched on (or their timed operating cycle 
will recommence if they are already switched 
on).
Press the button a second time (or select 
AUTO or any air distribution control) to leave 
the Defrost mode.
4. Maximum air conditioning
This mode automatically activates 
the air conditioning and air 
recirculation, and sets the blower 
speed at maximum and the air distribution to 
the face level vents. This mode overrides the 
current temperature settings.5. Temperature controls
Rotate the controls to set the required 
temperature for the corresponding side of the 
passenger compartment (left hand switch for 
the left side of the vehicle, and right hand 
switch for the right side).
Temperatures above 28
oC (82oF) and below 
16oC (61oF) cannot be set.
The temperatures on the control surrounds are 
relative, target, temperatures only and are not 
reflective of any specific temperature measured 
within the vehicle interior.
Note: The system will not achieve temperatures 
on the passenger side of the vehicle that are 
more than 5
oC (9oF) greater or less than the 
temperature set for the drivers side.
6. Blower control
Rotate clockwise to increase and 
counter-clockwise to decrease airflow from the 
vents.
7. Air distribution control
Press the appropriate button to select the 
desired distribution setting:
Foot level vents
Face level vents
windshield and side window vents
More than one setting can be selected at once, 
to get the desired distribution.

8. Air conditioning control
With the engine running, press the 
button to manually activate the air 
conditioning, or to switch off the 
air conditioning if it has been previously 
selected (manually or automatically).
9. Air recirculation
Air recirculation prohibits the entry 
of air from outside the vehicle, 
alternatively recirculating the air 
inside the vehicle instead. This is useful to 
prevent the entry of traffic fumes.
Note: On some vehicles, there is also a remote 
air recirculation button on the steering wheel. 
This button is a simple on/off button and does 
not incorporate the automatic recirculation 
feature, see REMOTE AIR RECIRCULATION, 
108.
Press the button once to activate automatic 
recirculation. This feature automatically 
activates air recirculation when sensors fitted to 
the vehicle detect high levels of air pollution, 
therefore preventing the ingress of fumes into 
the vehicle (in traffic, for example).
Press the button a second time to activate air 
recirculation.
Press the button a third time to deactivate air 
recirculation.
Air recirculation also significantly influences 
the dehumidifying and cooling performance of 
the air-conditioning system. Therefore, in Auto 
mode, air recirculation is regulated 
automatically to enable the air-conditioning 
system to achieve its optimum performance.
Note: Prolonged recirculation may cause the 
windows to mist.10. Heated windshield
Press to operate, the indicator light 
in the switch will illuminate 
whenever the shield heater is on.
11. Heated rear screen
Press to operate; the indicator light 
in the switch illuminates whenever 
the screen heater is on.
Caution:  DO NOT stick labels over the heating 
elements on the rear screen, and DO NOT 
scrape or use abrasive materials to clean the 
inside of the rear screen.

USING YOUR HEATER
Fresh air enters the heater unit through the 
grille in front of the windshield and stale air is 
drawn out through vents in the rear of the 
vehicle.
The following examples of basic heater settings 
are intended as a general guide; the air 
distribution, temperature and blower controls 
can then be further adjusted to suit your 
comfort requirements. Always remember that 
full heating is not available until the engine has 
reached its normal operating temperature.
Maximum heating
Set the temperature control to maximum and 
the air conditioning air distribution control to 
AUTO, with the blower at the slowest speed 
(position 1) until the temperature gauge 
indicates that the engine is warming up - the 
blower speed can then be increased. Set the 
centre face ventilation temperature control fully 
towards the red indicator.
Demisting/defrosting
Switch on the air conditioning and the 
windshield heaters, then set the temperature 
and blower controls to maximum. Set the air 
conditioning air distribution control to all air to 
windshield, to obtain the maximum flow of 
heated air from the windshield and side window 
vents. When defrosting, switching on air 
recirculation will help, but remember to switch 
off air recirculation as soon as defrosting has 
completed, to avoid windshield misting.Maximum ventilation
Set the temperature control to your preferred 
interior temperature. Switch on the air 
conditioning and select air recirculation. Set the 
air distribution control to Air to face vents. 
Ensure the face level vents are open and set the 
centre face vent temperature control fully 
towards the blue indicator. Adjust the blower 
speed to maximum.
Opening a window or the sunroof may improve 
ventilation. Remember; do not open a window 
or the sunroof, if the air conditioning is 
operating.
GENERAL NOTES
•For optimum operating efficiency, ensure 
all the air vents (including those in the rear 
of the vehicle) are open.
•For the automatic temperature control 
system to function efficiently, all windows 
(and the sunroof) should be closed, and the 
air intake vents free from ice, snow, leaves 
or other debris.
•In very humid conditions, slight shield 
misting may be experienced when the air 
conditioning system is turned on. This is a 
natural occurrence on most automotive air 
conditioning systems. It is not a fault and 
misting will clear after a few seconds once 
the air conditioning system is operating.
•The air conditioning compressor will not 
function unless the engine is running.
•Surplus water produced by the 
dehumidifying process is expelled from the 
system via drain tubes beneath the vehicle. 
This may result in a small pool of water 
forming on the road when the vehicle is 
stationary and is not a cause for concern.

INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS & MAP 
LIGHTS
Front interior light and map lights illustrated
The interior light illuminates automatically 
whenever the vehicle is unlocked, when the 
starter switch is turned off (provided the 
sidelamps have been on in the last 30 seconds), 
or when a door or taildoor is opened. The light 
remains illuminated for 20 seconds after the 
doors and taildoor are closed, or until the 
starter switch is turned on.
After driving, the interior lights will fade and 
then extinguish as soon as the vehicle is locked 
or when all the doors and taildoor are closed.
Note: If a door is left open the lights will 
automatically extinguish after 16 minutes, to 
prevent battery drain.
To turn the light on and off manually, briefly 
press switch 1.
To turn off the automatic illumination feature 
(i.e. when a door is opened), press and hold 
switch 1 for 3 seconds. Repeat to restore the

lock button on the remote handset, the interior 
lights will come on for 8 seconds to assist you 
in locating your vehicle in a busy car park.
Map light operation
Press the relevant map light switch (2) to turn 
on and off. If a map light is left on, it will 
extinguish after 16 minutes to prevent battery 
drain.
LOW LEVEL NIGHT TIME 
ILLUMINATION
With the main lighting switch turned to 
sidelamps or headlamps, the interior lights 
provide very low level illumination using the 
LEDs (3), in conjunction with the optional door 
bin and door handle lights. The level of 
illumination can be adjusted using the 
instrument illumination dimmer switch.
Low level lighting provides very limited 
illumination for the interior of the vehicle, whilst 
the vehicle is being driven, without affecting the 
drivers night vision.
GLOVEBOX LIGHT
