you do not have your usual load
conditions). Check that nothing interferes
with the headlight beams (dust, mud,
snow, etc.).34)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped headlights for
driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on
during the day; where it is not compulsory,
the use of daytime running lights is
permitted.
35)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.

the temperature.
Ventilation speed adjustment
Use control 3 fig. 91 from 0 to 4 fig. 91.
The farther to the right you turn it, the
more air is diffused. If you want to stop
air entry, place control 3 fig. 91 at 0.
The system is deactivated: ventilation
speed in the passenger compartment is
nil (vehicle stopped), you can still notice
a slight air flow when the vehicle is
moving.
NOTE Prolonged use of this control in
position 0 can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy.
Quick de-misting: Passenger
compartment isolation/air recycling
deactivated (warning light on button 4
fig. 91 is off), turn controls 1 fig. 91 and

(when driving in polluted areas, etc.);
to get the desired internal passenger
compartment temperature more
quickly.
IMPORTANT Prolonged use of air
recycling can make the side windows
and windscreen mist up even though
the air inside the passenger
compartment is not stuffy. We advise
you to return to normal function
(outside air) by pressing button 4
fig. 91 again as soon as air recycling is
no longer needed.
