COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distri-
bution of warm air to the windscreen,
side windows and footwells only.
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the value
displayed in order to obtain the com-
fort required. The system corrects
the difference in temperature auto-
matically and as quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and his front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right
setting difference of more than 3. 4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or de-ice the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passen-
gers, ice, etc.).

 In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator light on the
button comes on. 2. Driver’s side adjustment
DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised
adjustment of all of the functions, pas-
senger compartment temperature, air
fl ow, air distribution and air recircula-
tion, in accordance with the comfort
value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.

 To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the "AUTO"
button, the indicator light on the but-
ton switches off and the indicator
