(or warmer) than is comfortable.
There is no need to change the tem-
perature displayed in order to quickly obtain the level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for im- proved visibility when cornering,

these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.

stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.
