"Normal ": offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and effective air flow.
Use the " Normal" or "Fast" modes to ensure
the comfort of passengers in the rear seats.
This setting is associated with automatic mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the indicator lamp for the last setting remains
on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if this was deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
to more quickly reach the required level
of comfort. The system automatically
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible.Automatic visibility
