4. Information display
The display presents information and warning messages, the ambient temperature, and the clock, etc. When the
ambient temperature is between 23° and 36°F (-5° and +2°C), a snowflake symbol is shown in the display. This
symbol serves as a warning for possible slippery road surfaces. Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault
with your car. At low speeds, or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature.

7. Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with the
needle in the red area of the dial, which indicates maximum allowable engine rpm range. Instead, shift to a higher gear
or slow the vehicle down. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high engines speeds.
This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

Manual climate system functions
1. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. If the knob is turned
counterclockwise and the indicator light in the display goes out, the blower and the air conditioning are switched off.
The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
2. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The
air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this
function is activated. Recirculation (together with the air conditioning system) cools the passenger compartment more
quickly in very warm weather. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on
the insides of the windows, especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of misting, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 62
for information on setting the recirculation timer. Recirculation is always disengaged when you select Defroster (3).
3. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.
Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled
to provide maximum air dehumidification.

Volume control - ALARM
If a CD is playing when the radio receives an alarm bulletin (available in certain areas only), the CD player enters
pause mode. The bulletin is broadcast at the volume selected for this type of message.
After the bulletin has been completed, the audio system reverts to the originally selected sound source (radio or CD),
which is played at the volume that was selected for that source.
If the bulletin volume is adjusted while the bulletin is being broadcast, this new volume is saved and used for
subsequent bulletins.
