cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car
becomes normal before operating the unit.
How to use the MODE button

5/ buttons
work as different function buttons.

To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds
without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared.
