AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING

A. DRIVER’S CONTROL

PANEL

1. Automatic comfort

regulation

A press on this button, con-

ﬁ rmed by the display of the

A/C warning lamp and of
AUTO on the screen, pro-

vides automatic control, at the tem-
perature selected, of all the following
5 functions:
- air ﬂ ow,
-

cabin temperature, on left hand
side and right hand side,

air distribution,

air conditioning,

automatic air recirculation.

For  this  facility  to  operate,  it  is  rec-
ommended to keep all the air vents
open.
Using  the   AUTO   mode  will  prevent
the formation of mist inside the vehicle
in cold or humid weather.
When starting from cold, in order to
avoid  a  rush  of  cold  air,  the  blower
attains  its  optimum  level  progres-
sively.

2. Adjustment of temperature

To display the desired temperature,
press button:
-

– to decrease the temperature,

+ to increase the temperature.

An  adjustment  around  21  will  pro-
vide an agreeable temperature level.
However, depending on your prefer-
ence,  anything  between  18  and  24
is quite normal.
For  optimum  comfort,  it  is  recom-
mended to avoid an adjustment dif-
ference greater than 3 between right
and left.
Actual temperatures experienced in
the passenger compartment are de-
pendent  on  external  factors  and  for
this reason might not be identical to
those displayed.
On  entering  the  vehicle,  the  inside
temperature may be much colder (or
hotter) than would be comfortable. It
serves no purpose to alter the tem-
perature  displayed  in  an  attempt  to
attain  your  preference  more  rapidly.
The  system  automatically  uses  its
maximum  performance  to  make  up
the  difference  in  temperature  as
soon as possible.

  Manual  resumption  of  one  or
more functions
It  is  possible  to  adjust  each  of  the
functions   3,  4 ,   6   and   10   manually.
The display of the  "AUTO"  function
will then go off.

  Resumption  by  the  driver  of  the
adjustment of cabin temperatures
(for the front and rear passengers)
  A long press on the "AUTO" but-
ton cancels all personal settings,
including  the  passenger's  tem-
perature,  and    returns    the  system
to automatic operation.

ing the next 30 seconds activates
the function for a timing of several
minutes. The  duration  and  avail-
ability of the function are variable

of  the  battery  (a  protection  to
guarantee  engine  starting).  Two

blower blades ﬁ ll up to signify that

the function is active. It remains
