AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/6)Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recirculation,
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected com-
fort level to be best attained, depend-
ing on the exterior conditions. Press
button 7. The integrated indicator light
on button 7 comes on.
Varying the ventilation speedIn automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the fan speed by
pressing the buttons 6 to increase or
reduce the fan speed.
In this case, the integrated indicator
light on button 7 goes out and the ven-
tilation speed selected is displayed on
the indicator C.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (2/6)
Temperature adjustment
There are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment setting;
– adjustment in DUAL function to inde- pendently adjust the left and/or right-
hand side of the passenger compart-
ment.
Uniform passenger compartment
setting
Use control 2.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.DUAL function setting
Press button 12 to activate.
Use the control 2 to adjust the left side
and control 10 for the right side.

ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
To stop the operation of the rear screen,
press the de-icer button 11. The inte-
grated warning light will go out.
You can change the fan speed: press
the button 6.
To exit this function, press button 3
again.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat-
ing status.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Press switches 4 and 5 to scroll through
them. The arrows located on the indica-
tor B combine to show you the distribu-
tion selected:
õAll the air is then directed to
the windscreen and front side
window demisting vents.
÷The air flow is distributed be-
tween front side window de-
misting vents, the windscreen demist-
ing vents and the footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents and the foot-
wells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.

Manual use
Pressing the button 9 allows air recir-
culation to be forced. In this case, the
integrated warning light comes on and
the indicator D goes out.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 9.Stopping the system
To stop the system, press the button 1
OFF (the integrated warning light
comes on) or, depending on the ve-
hicle, reduce the fan speed down to
a minimum by pressing the button 6
marked by OFF as many times as is
necessary.
To start, press the switch 7.
Recycling
This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light D), but you can also activate
it manually.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (6/6)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

comes trapped, reverse the direc-
tion of the window immediately by
pressing the relevant switch.
