Dominated by three large rotary dials, each featuring tactile rubber outer grips, the new AC controls operate, from left, four positions of fan speed (Falcon gets 14), temperature control and air-flow mode. The outboard controls feature push-buttons to activate the air-conditioning itself (left) and rear demist (right). Like all the air vents, the redesigned central front and rear twin vents are closeable, but the familiar outboard vents continue to exit via the carryover door skins, making the system less efficient than Falcon's twin-vent design. There is a recirculate function, floor venting for rear-seat passengers and side glass ventilation. Did you know?Less precise than BA Falcon's redesigned system and lacking its illuminated position markers, Commodore's new air-conditioning unit is clumsier and more difficult to read at nightAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
