To   prevent   too   great   a   distribution   of  
c

old   air   when   the   engine   is   cold,   the   air  
f

low   will   only   reach   its   optimum   level  
g

radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds t
o   a   level   of   comfort   and   not   to   a   temperature   in  
d
