REAR SCREEN DEMIST - DEFROST

 Switch off the demisting/
defrosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off before
the demisting/defrosting is switched
off automatically, demisting/defro-
sting will resume next time the en-
gine is switched on.
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is

the rear screen and (depending
on version) the door mirrors. The
indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.

COMFORT When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, side windows and footwells
only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain the
comfort required. The system cor-
rects the difference in temperature
automatically and as quickly as
possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and his front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right
setting difference of more than 3. 4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice, etc.).
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator lamp on the
button comes on. 2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode: it
permits automatic and optimised adjust-
ment of all of the functions, passenger
compartment temperature, air fl ow, air
distribution and air recirculation, in ac-
cordance with the comfort value that you
have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.

 To switch it off, press the "visibility"
button again or press the "AUTO"
button, the indicator lamp on the button
switches off and the indicator lamp on
the "AUTO" button comes on.
1. Automatic comfort programme
3. Passenger side adjustment

 In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.

of the passenger compartment, it
is possible to exceed the minimum
value 14 or the maximum value 28.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left
until "LO" is displayed or to the
right until "HI" is displayed. 9. Mono-zone/Dual-zone

 Press this button to equalise
the comfort value on the
passenger side with that
on the driver's side (mono

on the button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).

to automatic operation of the air
conditioning. The indicator lamp on
