Ventilation
AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed
the value 15 by turning until LO is displayed or
the value 27 by turning until HI is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.

when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed significantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. Turn this control to the left or to
the right to decrease or increase
the value. A setting around the
value 21 provides optimum
comfort.However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24
