AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/8)
In automatic mode, depending on
the outside air conditions, the ven-
tilation may not start immediately at
maximum power but will increase
progressively until the engine tem-
perature is warm enough to heat the
passenger compartment air. This
may take from a few seconds to se-
veral minutes.
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Automatic mode is switched off by pres-
sing buttons 8 and 10.
These buttons allow you to increase or
decrease ventilation speed.

button 2: the AUTO warning light on
display 4 goes out. Note: the “Clear View” function auto-
matically activates the air conditioning.

Prolonged use of the air recirculation
mode may cause the windows to mist
up or lead to odours, as the air is not
renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air or automatic
recirculation) as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 12.Air recirculation
Pressing button 12 activates air recir-
culation (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external at-
mosphere to be cut off (when driving in
polluted areas, etc.).
