repeatedly until the desired profile is displayed:
The "Normal" or "Fast" profiles are the most
comfortable for passengers in the rear seats.
This profile setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of the
AUTO mode, the indicator lamp for the most
recently selected profile remains on.
Changing the profile setting does not reactivate
AUTO mode if it 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.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.

the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The function is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and, if necessary,
activates interior air recirculation.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
