  temporarily  
prevents exterior odours
and

  smoke   from   entering   the  
passenger

  compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from
 
1
 
to   4),   recirculation   enables   you  
to

 
attain
 
the   desired   comfort   level   more  
quickly

 
with   both   hot   or   cold   settings.
This
 
position   should   only   be   temporary.  
When

 
your   desired   comfort   level   has  
been

 
reached,   return   to   the   intake  
of

 
exterior   air   position   to   permit  
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment

  and   avoid   misting.  
This
  is  
the

 
preferred   operating   mode.

of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment,

  there   are   adjustable  
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or

  vertically   (up   or   down).   For   your  
comfort

Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits odours.
Ensure   that   this   filter   is   in   good  
condition

  and   have   all   of   the   filter  
elements

  replaced   regularly.
Refer
  to   the   "Checks"   section   of  
chapter

  7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows  closed.   However,   if   the  
interior

  temperature   remains   high  
after

  a   prolonged   period   parked   in  
the

  sun,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
compartment

  for   a   few   minutes.
Use
  the  
AUT
O   mode   as   much   as  
possible

  as   it   permits   optimised  
control

  of   all   of   the   functions:   air   flow,  
passenger

  compartment   comfort  
temperature,

  air   distribution,   air  
intake

  mode   or   air   recirculation   in   the  
passenger

  compartment.
Operate
  the   air   conditioning   system   for  
5

 
to
 
10
 
minutes,
 
once
 
or
 
twice
 
a
 
month,
 
to

  keep   it   in   good   working   order.
If
  the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,  
do not use it and contact a CITR

o Ë n
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.
