AIR RECIRCULATION
Pressing button
Tturns on this func-
tion which is shown by the turning on of
the led on the button. This function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tunnel,
etc.). However, it is better not to use it
for long periods, especially if there are sev-
eral people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER

This device heats up the passenger com-
partment more rapidly in cold weather
conditions with the engine coolant tem-
perature very low.
The additional heater is activated auto-
matically by starting the engine, turning
knob Ato the last red sector and oper-
ating the fan (knob C) on at least first
speed.
The radiator is turned off automatically
when conditions of comfort are achieved.
IMPORTANT heater activation is pre-
vented if the battery voltage is too low.
