9. Rear window and door mirror
defrosters
Press to defrost the rear win-
dow and door mirrors.
The rear window and door
mirrors are defrosted simulta-
neously if the switch is
pressed once. The defrost
function is active if the LED in the switch is illu-
minated.
• The function can be switched off manually
by pressing the button.
• The defrost function switches off automat-
ically after 12–20 minutes, depending on
the outside temperature.
NOTE
• On certain markets, the defrost function
may remain on longer than 20 minutes
in cold weather to help keep the rear
window free from ice or condensation.
• This function is automatically switched
off when the power retractable hard top
is down.
10. Temperature selector
The temperatures on the driv-
er's and passenger's sides
can be set separately using
the knob (with the thermome-
ter in it). The temperature can
be set for both sides of the car
when the ignition is switched
on (both LEDs will be on), which means that a
temperature setting will apply to both sides of
the car.
To set the temperature on one side of the car:
1. Press the knob once. The LED for one side
of the car will light up. Turn the knob to
adjust the temperature.
2. Press the knob a second time to set the
temperature on the opposite side of the
car.
3. Press the knob a third time to set the tem-
perature on both sides of the car at the
same time.
NOTE
Selecting a temperature that is higher or
lower than necessary will not heat or cool
the passenger compartment faster.
Sensors
• The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of
the dashboard
• The passenger compartment temperature
sensor is located behind the climate sys-
tem control panel.
• The ambient temperature sensor is in the
driver's side door mirror.
• The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-
ror.
These sensors should never be obstructed.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the
vehicle from which the sun shines into the
passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature may differ slightly between
the left and right air vents, even if the climate
system temperature is set to be the same
for both sides of the passenger compart-
ment.
Acceleration
The air conditioning system is temporarily
switched off during full throttle acceleration.
