COMFORT
When starting with the engine
cold, air fl ow will reach its opti-
mum level gradually to prevent an
excessive distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it
has been parked for a fairly long
period, if the interior temperature
is very different from your comfort
setting there is no need to change
the temperature displayed in or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as
possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
9. Front demisting - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist
or defrost the windows
(humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice).


)
Press control 9
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
air fl ow and intake and distributes the
ventilation to the windscreen and front
side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
the "Demisting" mode. It must be
cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a

and 1b
returns the system to the
"AUTO"
mode.
8. Rear demisting - defrosting

Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current consump-
tion reduces fuel consumption.

The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.


)
Press control 8
, with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatical-
ly to avoid excessive consumption of
current and depending on the exterior
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 8
again or when the engine
is switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.






With Stop & Start, when demisting
has been activated, the STOP mode
is not available.
