AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING 1 - Automatic operation
This system automatically regulates
temperature, air fl ow and air distribu-
tion in the passenger compartment
according to the temperature select-
ed (for each side, right and left).
It provides an optimum level of
comfort regardless of the climatic
conditions, by permanent use of
the automatic air conditioning mode
(press the AUTO button ) and with

all the vents open.
Having no airfl ow prevents the air
conditioning and the system in gen-
eral from working.

To prevent misting of the interior
of the vehicle in cold and damp
conditions, the use of AUTO
mode is recommended. 2 - Adjustment of
temperature on left
hand side
To set and display the de-
sired temperature, rotate
control 2 or 3 :
The display HI (high) corre-
sponds to a demand for max-
imum heating (above 27).
The display LO (low) cor-
responds to a demand for
maximum air conditioning
(below 15).
3 - Adjustment of
temperature on right
hand side
- To the left to lower the temperature
-
To the right to raise the temperature
The difference between the tem-
peratures on the right and on the left
cannot be greater than 3 degrees.
A setting around 21 will provide a
temperature that is comfortable.
Depending on your requirements,
an adjustment between 18 and 24 is
normal.
A press on this control,
confi rmed by the display of
"A/C"
and "AUTO" , auto-
matically manages all the
5 following functions according to
the temperature chosen:
- Flow of air.
- Cabin temperature.
- Distribution of air.
- Air conditioning.
- Recycling of air.
To enable the system to operate, all
the air vents should be kept open. This is the normal operating
mode.

 When you enter the vehicle, the
temperature inside the vehicle
may be much colder (or warmer)
than a comfortable temperature.
There is no point in modifying
the displayed temperature to
try to attain the desired level of
comfort. The system operates
automatically to compensate this
temperature discrepancy as rap-
idly as possible.

 When starting the engine from
cold, in order to avoid distribut-
ing too much cold air, the blower
will attain its optimum level grad-
ually.
