The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the
vehicle and dehumidifies the air. Air temperature, air delivery and
air distribution are regulated automatically to reach the desired
interior temperature as quickly as possible, and then to maintain
this temperature. The system automatically compensates for any
variations in the outside temperature and for the effect of direct
sunlight.
The automatic temperature regulation only operates at temperature
settings between +16 °C and +28 °C. If a temperature below +16 °C
is selected, LO appears on the display. If a temperature above +28 °C
is selected, the display will show HI. In the two extreme settings the
air conditioner operates continuously with maximum cooling or
heating output, and the temperature is not regulated
automatically.
