Function for retaining
ventilation with the engine
switched off

The REST function is avail-
able when you switch on the igni-

- At the end of the timing, the dis- play will go off. This button does not activate the air
conditioning, only the air blowers. In
the REST function, the air fl ow and
distribution are controlled automati-
cally and you cannot modify them.

On stopping the engine:
- The displays remain lit up, the blower is shown empty and the
function can be activated for
30 seconds.
- A press on the REST button during the next 30 seconds ac-
tivates the function for a timing
of several minutes. The dura-
