- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
m i x i n g t h e a i r o f t h e v a r i o u s c i r c u i t s . The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.

parked in the sun for a considerable time, do not hesitate t o ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.

To guarantee correct operation of the air conditioning syste m, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.
