indicator lamp comes on.
We recommend that you use this mode. It
automatically adjusts all settings to provide
optimum operation for the comfor t level chosen:

air distribution and air recirculation.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
air flow will reach its optimum level
gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells
only.

the temperature to their requirements.

degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Turn control 2
or 3
to the left
(blue) or to the right (red)
respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
It is recommended that the difference between
left and right should not be greater 3.
