COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle's
passenger compartment. Air flow paths
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables
you to diffuse the air in the passenger
compartment combining several air
vents.
T h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l e n a b l e s y o u t o
increase or reduce the speed of the
ventilation fan.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
p a r t m e n t i s fi l t e r e d a n d o r i g i n a t e s e i t h e r
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode. Control panel

together on control panel
A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,

- demisting and defrosting,
- manual or digital air conditioning controls.
Air distribution

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 inte-
rior temperature is much colder or
warmer than the comfort value, there
is no need to change the value dis-
played in order to obtain the comfort
required. The system corrects the
difference in temperature automati-
cally and as quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.
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, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3. 4 . A u t o m a t i c v i s i b i l i t y p r o g r a m m e
