to decrease the temperature,  
+ to increase the temperature.  
When starting from cold, in order to  
avoid a rush of cold air, the blower  
attains its optimum level progres-  
sively.  
An adjustment around 21 will pro-  
vide an agreeable temperature level.  
However, depending on your prefer-  
ence, anything between 18 and 24  
is quite normal.  
III  
For optimum comfort, it is recom-  
mended to avoid an adjustment dif-  
ference greater than 3 between right  
and left.  
Actual temperatures experienced in  
the passenger compartment are de-  
pendent on external factors and for  
this reason might not be identical to  
those displayed.  
On entering the vehicle, the inside  
temperature may be much colder (or  
hotter) than would be comfortable. It  
serves no purpose to alter the tem-  
perature displayed in an attempt to  
attain your preference more rapidly.  
The system automatically uses its  
maximum performance to make up  
the difference in temperature as  
soon as possible.  
Manual resumption of one or  
more functions  
It is possible to adjust each of the  
functions 3, 4, 6 and 10 manually.  
The display of the "AUTO" function  
will then go off.  
Resumption by the driver of the  
adjustment of cabin temperatures  
(for the front and rear passengers)  
A long press on the "AUTO" but-  
ton cancels all personal settings,  
including the passenger's tem-  
perature, and returns the system  
to automatic operation.

guarantee engine starting). Two  
blower blades fill up to signify that
