1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust the
air flow, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.

button repeatedly:


- a first indicator lamp comes on; the
"li
ght" setting mode is selected,

"intense" mode setting is selected.

When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air. On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfor t required.The system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
