COMFORT
50
  When the engine is cold, to pre-
vent too great a distribution of cold 
air, the air fl ow will only reach its 
optimum level gradually. 
  In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, the side windows and the 
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 alter the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain 
the required level of comfort. The 
system corrects the temperature 
difference automatically and as 
quickly as possible.    The air conditioning can only operate 
with the engine running. 
  The driver and his front pas-
senger can each set the 
temperature to suit their re-
quirements.    
 
 ) 
 Turn dial  2 
 or  3 
 to the left to reduce 
the value or to the right to increase it.  
  A setting around 21 enables you to ob-
tain an optimum level of comfort. De-
pending on your requirements, a setting 
between 18 and 24 is usual. 
  In addition, it is recommended that you 
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...). 
   
 
 ) 
  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.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
 
We recommend that you use this mode: 
it provides optimised automatic con-
trol 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 selected. 
  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.
