At installation more low 17 ° With it is displayed on display LO: the climate control works continuously with the maximum capacity of cooling, temperature regulation is not carried out.

At installation above 27 ° With it is displayed on display HI: the climate control works continuously with maximum теплопроизводительностью, temperature regulation is not carried out.

Air distribution

By pressing one of following keys (indication of mode AUTO will go out) it is carried out:

Air distribution to the top space;
Air distribution to a windshield, to forward lateral glasses both to forward and to back space for feet;
