remarks:

8. air recirculation – Entry

of air from outside

•

When starting from cold, in

order to prevent unwanted cold

air, the air ﬂow will increase only

gradually to its optimum level.

iii

This button activates

the recirculation of air in

the passenger compart-

ment.

•

If you enter the vehicle after a

fairly prolonged stop and the

temperature inside the vehicle

is far from comfortable, it serves

no purpose to modify the tem-

perature that is displayed as an

attempt to go immediately to

the desired comfort level. The

system automatically uses all

of its power to compensate the

temperature gap as quickly as

possible.

Press button 8 to switch

off the entry of air from outside.

The warning lamp comes on.

Whilst retaining the other settings,

this position allows the driver at

any moment to exclude unpleasant

smells or smoke/emissions coming

from outside.

This mode should be cancelled

as soon as possible to allow the

redistribution of air in the pas-

senger compartment.

•

Water arising from the conden-

sation in the air conditioning

drains out through a hole pro-

vided for this purpose ; a pool

of water may thus form under-

neath the vehicle when station-

ary.

Whatever the time of year, even

in cool weather the air condition-

ing is useful in removing humid-

ity and misting. Avoid driving for

too long with air conditioning

deactivated.
