Automatic air
conditioning
3
The air conditioning operates with the engine
running, but the ventilation and its controls can
be accessed with the ignition on.
Avoid the prolonged recirculation of
interior air in order to ensure a good
supply of fresh air and reduce the risk of
misting (especially when several passengers
are on board or when the air is cold/damp,
etc.).
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.
With the air conditioning on, regulation of
temperature and interior air recirculation are
controlled manually.
Air conditioning on/off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed:
– It lowers the temperature in summer.
– It increases the effectiveness of the
demisting, in winter, above 3°C.

Switching off the air conditioning may result
in some discomfort (humidity or misting).
The value displayed corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
Air distribution adjustment

flow towards:
Automatic air conditioning

– central vents, side vents, footwells,
windscreen and side windows.
