1)Air temperature knob: pointer in
the red sector -.
2)Fan knob: pointer at the maxi-
mum speed -.
3)Air distribution knob: pointer at

4)Air recirculation slider at H,
means that air is taken in from the
outside.
When the windscreen and windows
have been demisted, adjust the con-
trols to keep the windows as clear as
possible.
IMPORTANTIf fitted, the climate
control is very useful for speeding up
demisting because it dries the air.
Simply adjust the controls for the
demisting function and turn on the
climate control by pressing button
√.DEMISTING AND/OR
DEFROSTING OF THE REAR
WINDOW
Press button (. The electric mirror
demisting device also comes on.
As soon as the rear window is clear,
you should release the button.
VENTILATION
1)Centre and side vents: fully open.
2)Air temperature knob: pointer in
the blue zone.
3)Air recirculation slider: pointer at
H, which means that air is taken in
from outside.
4)Fan knob: pointer at the speed re-
quired.
5)Air distribution knob: pointer
at¥.AIR RECIRCULATION
When the slider is in position T
only the inside air is circulated.
IMPORTANTThis function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel, etc.). You are advised against
using this function for long periods,
however, especially if there are a lot
of people in the car or on cold and
raining days, since this considerably
increases the possibility of the win-
dows misting up and will reduce vis-
ibility effecting driving conditions.

CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The climate control system is ad-
justed manually.
CONTROLS (fig. 45)
A- Air temperature knob (mixture
of warm and cold air).
B- Fan knob.
C- Air distribution knob.
D- Air recirculation slider, to elim-
inate external air.IMPORTANTThe recirculation
function allows to cool the air faster.
It is particularly useful when the out-
side air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel, etc.). You are advised
against using this function for long
periods, however, especially if there
are a lot of people in the car or on
cold and raining days, since this con-
siderably increases the possibility of
the windows misting up and will re-
duce visibility effecting driving con-
ditions.
E- Climate control on/off switch.
When the climate control system is
on, the fan will automatically come on
at the first speed.COOLING
1)Air temperature knob: pointer in
the blue sector.
2)Climate control system: press
switch
√and move the air recircula-
tion slider to T.
3)Fan knob: pointer at required
speed.
4)Air distribution knob: pointer at
¥.
To reduce the cooling effect: move
the air recirculation slider to H, in-
crease the temperature and decrease
the fan speed.

The system uses R134a
refrigerating liquid. If it
accidentally leaks it will
not damage the environment.
Never use R12 fluid as it is incom-
patible with the system’s compo-
nents and also contains CFC.
