NOTE:

An indicator lamp inside the controls indicates when the selected function is on.

If the indicator lamp in the A/C  button does not come on after the button is pressed, a fault may be stored in the control module. Access the DTC memory using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester. If the fault stored in the DTC memory "A/C compressor first start not performed" is present, then is it necessary to perform a basic setting and an adaptation "A/C compressor first start" either in Guided Fault Finding or in Guided Functions  .
