Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compar tment
is filtered and originates either from the outside
via the grille located at the base of the windscreen
or from the inside in air recirculation mode.


Air treatment

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger compartment
(air int ake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
diffuse the air in the passenger compar tment
combining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.


Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console. Depending on the model, the functions
offered are:


- the level of comfor t required,

- air flow,

- air distribution,

- demisting-defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.

)
If you place the air flow control
in position 0
(deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfor table
level. However, a slight flow of air,
due to the movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.

Windscreen and side windows.
Windscreen, side windows and
footwells.
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial
in an intermediate position.


4. Air intake/Air recirculation

The intake of exterior air avoids the formation of
mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates the
passenger compar tment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.

Manual control panel
