Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.F
P
ush the button down
to reduce the value or
up to increase it.
A setting of around 21
provides optimum
comfort. Depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18

In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left /right setting difference of more
than 3.
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 the required level of comfort. The
system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible. For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14

During heating
This indicator lamp flashes while the
heating is in operation.
This indicator lamp goes off at the
end of the heating cycle or when the
heating is stopped using the remote
control.
The maximum heating period is about
45
minutes depending on the climatic
conditions.
The programmable heating system is
supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank is on reser ve, it is
recommended that the system is not used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-
t
he battery is sufficiently charged,
-
t
he fuel level is adequate,
-
t
he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. Always switch off the programmable
heating when refuelling to avoid any risk of
fire or explosion.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which are not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.). Risk of fire!
Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Take care not to place objects in contact
with these sur faces, nor touch them with
your hands or any other part of your body.
Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
