soon as possible to avoid deterioration
of the air quality and prevent misting.

Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen

frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off. It enables you to:

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.

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
