Automatic climate control

Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen -
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi -
tions), whilst optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recircula -
tion, and starting and stopping the air
conditioning and air temperature. This
mode consists of a choice of three pro-
grammes:
E co : Limits the electricity consump -
tion of the air-conditioning system to
optimise vehicle range. The tempera -
ture is too low - Press button 2 . This
mode sets the passenger temperature
control as the driver’s temperature con-
trol.
A uTo : allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
FAST : emphasises the actions of the
system to reach the desired comfort
level more quickly. Press button 4.

Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed
by pressing buttons 12 to increase or
reduce the ventilation speed.
In this case, the ventilation speed,
which is no longer controlled automat-
ically, appears in zone A on the dis -
play 13.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat -
ing status.

Temperature adjustment
Press button 1 or 6 to raise or lower the
left-hand 1 or right-hand 6 temperature.
Pressing button 3 for more than 2 sec-
onds sets the passenger temperature
to the driver’s temperature.
Special note: the highest and lowest
settings allow the system to produce
maximum hot or cold temperature
levels (“LO” and “HI” on display 13).

mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de -ic -
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 9 to stop the heated rear
screen operating; the integrated indica -
tor goes out.
You can change the fan speed: press

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas -
ing or decreasing the value dis -
played will not allow the com -
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
Favour the use of automatic mode, selecting one of the automatic pro -
grammes Eco, AuT o or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection, in this case, indicator light for button 3
will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the system,
is shown on display 13.
To return to automatic mode, press one of programmes: Eco, AuTo or FAST.

In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press button 8 to switch off the air
conditioning; the integrated indicator

Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
Press button 9 : the integrated indica -
tor light comes on. This function per -
mits rapid demisting/de-icing of the rear

WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
×The air flow is distributed be -
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
¾The air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.

manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula -
tion to be forced, in this case, the inte-
grated indicator comes on .
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-
culation function is no longer required,
by pressing button 11 again.Stopping the system
Press button 12 to switch off the
system; in this case “OFF” is shown
on display 13. To switch the system on,
press one of switches 2, 3 or 4.
Recycling
This function is controlled automati -
cally, but it can also be activated manu-
ally.
NB:
– during recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external
atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart -
ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AuT omATIc clImATE coNTRol (5/5)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
