rior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
air quality and demisting performance.

 If you place the air fl ow
control in position 0 (deac-
tivation of the system), the
temperature is no longer
maintained at a comfort-
able level. However, a
slight fl ow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.

By means of the air quality
sensor, the system also opti-
mises the air quality. On entering the vehicle, if the
interior temperature is much
colder or warmer than the
comfort value, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to obtain the comfort required more
quickly. The system corrects the dif-
ference in temperature automatically
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. 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.).

 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.
Automatic operation

 Press the "AUTO" button.
The indicator lamp on the
button comes on. 2-3. Driver-passenger side
adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
We recommend the use of this mode:
it permits automatic and optimised ad-
justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows 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 but-
ton switches off or the indicator lamp
on the "AUTO" button comes on.
1. Automatic comfort programme To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distri-
bution of warm air to the windscreen,
side windows and footwells only.

Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the system
by changing a setting. The other func-
tions will still be controlled automati-
cally.

 Pressing the "AUTO" button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.
 Press this button to switch
off the air conditioning. 6. Air distribution adjustment

mum value 28.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left un-

cator lamp comes on.
The automatic mode has an
exterior air quality sensor. It
analyses the air and isolates
the passenger compartment from the
outside when it detects the presence
of pollutants (e.g. in a tunnel). In this
case, it activates the air recirculation
automatically.

 Press this button to permit
the intake of outside air
and prevent condensation,
the indicator lamp switch-
es off.
The air quality sensor is not active.
Switching the system off

 Turn the air fl ow control to the left
until all of the indicator lamps switch
off.
This action switches off all of the func-
tions of the system.
Temperature related comfort is no lon-
ger guaranteed but a slight fl ow of air,
due to the movement of the vehicle, can
still be felt.

 Turn the air fl ow dial to the right or
press the "AUTO" button to reacti-
vate the system with the values set
before it was switched off.
