AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Adjusting the ventilation
speed in the rear seats
(depending on vehicle)
The controls on each of the rear doors
allow the ventilation speed of the air
vents to be adjusted for the rear pas -
sengers.
Indicator B , made up of several bars
which light up, shows the requested
ventilation speed.
Press button 17 to increase the ventila -
tion speed.
Press button 16 to decrease the venti-
lation speed. To inhibit the air flow from the rear seat
air vents, press button
16 until the last
bar on indicator B goes out.
To return to normal ventilation speed
(the minimum speed adjustment as de-
fined by the system) in the rear seats,
there are two options:
– after switching off the ignition;
– by pressing and holding the AUTO
button 1 until operating tell-tale A
starts flashing (even if it was already
lit).
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, when the
“child safety” switch is activated (indi -
cator light on the switch is on), the rear
heating and ventilation controls are
deactivated. The last red bar on indi -
cator B comes on and the ventilation
speed in the rear is at the minimum
speed setting as defined by the system.
Conditions of use
In some cases (very warm passenger
compartment, for example), if the last
red bar on indicator B is lit, this means
that it is no longer possible to increase
the ventilation speed. It will be possible
to do so again once the red bar goes
out.
