Ð Place the air flow control at a level sufficient to ensure correct renewal of air in the passenger compartment. The ''OFF''
position cuts off all the air circulation in the passenger compartment. Note: only use the ''OFF''position occasionally (risk of condensation).
Ð Select the air distribution most suited to your requirements and the climatic conditions.
Ð Gradually adjust the temperature setting for your comfort.
Ð Position the outside air control to the left; the "Outside Air" position.
Ð For perfectly even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grille on the bonnet, the vents and the air ducts under the front seats. Check that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition.
