ommended to keep all the air vents
open.
Using the
AUTO mode will prevent
misting inside the vehicle in cold or
humid weather.

avoid a rush of cold air, the blower
attains its optimum level progres-
sively. 2. Adjustment of temperature

press button:
-
- to decrease the temperature,
- + to increase the temperature.
An adjustment around 21 will pro-
vide an agreeable temperature level.

For optimum comfort, it is recom-
mended to avoid an adjustment dif-
ference greater than 3 between right
and left.

the passenger compartment are de-
pendent on external factors and for
this reason might not be identical to
those displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
hotter) than would be comfortable. It
serves no purpose to alter the tem-
perature displayed in an attempt to
attain your preference more rapidly.
The system automatically does all in
its power to make up the difference
in temperature as soon as possible.
