COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,
the air fl ow will reach its optimum
level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, side windows and 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 change the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain the
comfort required. The system cor-
rects the difference in temperature
automatically and as quickly as
possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right
setting difference of more than 3.

gramme may not be suffi cient
