AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
The system has a differentiated adjustment for the driver's side and passenger's side, in terms of temperature andair distribution. The air fl ow is common to both sides.
Symbols and messages relating to the automatic air conditioning controls will display on the multifunction screen.
2. TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the temperature, press on button2ato modifythe temperature on the passenger's side and on but-
ton 2b to modify it on the driver's side.
An ad
justment around 21 will give you the optimumcomfort level. However, depending on your preferences
anywhere between 18 and 24 is quite usual.
Operating the air conditioning system on"AUTO"guarantees good ventilation inside the cabin.Note:there may be a difference between the actual
cabin temperature and the fi gure displayed.
This is the normal operatin
g mode for the system. Depending on the temperature chosen, a press on this
button, confi rmed by the lighting of the warning lamp,
will automatically and simultaneously bring all the fol-lowing functions into play:Air fl ow.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent
unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase onlygradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolongedstop and the temperature inside the vehicle is
uncomfortable, it serves no purpose to modify
the temperature that is displayed as an attempt
to go immediately to the desired comfort level.
The system automatically uses all of its power tocompensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air conditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose; a pool of water may thus form
underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the
air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and
misting.
You are advised to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis. See
"Maintenance and Warranty Guide".
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside
temperatures are high, the air conditioning may
be temporarily paused if the engine cooling
requires this.
