programme
F Press the button 5 to activate/deactivate the automatic mode of the air conditioning
system.
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the

programme by choosing one of
three mode settings offered in
a secondary page of the "
Air

To change the current setting, shown by the
green indicator lamp, press the button for the
desired mode:
"Soft": provides soft and quiet
operation by limiting air flow.

only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the indicator for the last setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
In cold conditions and when the engine is
cold, to limit distribution of cold air in the
passenger compartment, the air flow will
change gradually until the comfort setting
is reached.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there is
no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach more quickly the required
level of comfort. The system automatically
corrects the temperature difference.
Manual control
