Hi everyone. I have one more question. How can I check if my car has the auto air conditioning with humidity and polution sensor (hope the description is ok). Any special facia buttons or indications? Thanks

I am getting the car next week. I went to the customs (where the car is now) to check that all options I ordered are installed. I am a bit suspicious cause I have ordered dark eucaliptus for the facia but got the silver strip. For the time being I do trust my dealer and they have shown exemplary behaviour till now. I am just a bit worried if some other mistake has been made and since options like humidity/polution sensor are not that obvious I am looking into it. I will tell you my final verdict about car and dealer next week...

Hi,

If you have the humidity sensor, you have to had the auto dimming rear mirror. Only with that you could have the
auto rear mirror.

defkalion,
The quickest way of checking that you have the AQS/Hus option installed is by looking at the lower left hand horizontal button of the climate control unit in the centre fascia. It should have 2 LED's on the button, with the words AUTO and MAN written on it. However, all this shows you is that you have the correct version of the climate ECU. You can check that the HUS is fitted to the vehicle by looking for small vents on the rear face of the interior mirror. If it has them, then the HUS is installed. As for the AQS sensor, this is too difficult to check if its present, but the ECU would log a DTC if it was missing.

well hc001, I really did like your scientific instructions. thanks. btw, do you know if there is a workshop manual for details like these?

Yes, worksop manuals are available that describe system operation, but only dealerships have access, as they are not hard copies.
The humidity/glass misting sensor is very good, and should prevent misting from ever ocurring on your windscreen.

Hi Def, to answer your question "non-accademic": the normal automatic A/C has two buttons left and right below the big AUTO-button: the left one has two LED's with a circle (three bent arrows), the right button has also two LED's, one for ECON and one for OFF.
With the Automatic A/C with humidity control and air quality sensor the left lower button has also 2 LED's, but one for AUTO and one for ECON. I believe this is the air-recirculation switch.
This is the easiest way to check if the "better" A/C is buid in. In Germany the "better" A/C comes always with the auto-dimming inside mirror. Annother way to check if you have got what you have ordered and paid.

That's right guys (thanks yamaha-fan) when you order the auto clima with humidity sensor the left button has an auto-manual setting (two led's). I must say the humidity sensor does make a real difference in the car air quality. I wander how they missed that in the Disco3 and RRS (2008 models).
