Press control 3a

to change the

distribution of the

air flow on the

driver's side.

On entering the vehicle, the interior

temperature may be much colder

(or warmer) than is comfortable. There

is no need to change the temperature

displayed in order to quickly obtain the

level of comfort required.

Turn control 2a to change the temperature

on the driver's side and control 2b

to change the temperature on the

passenger's side: to the right to increase or

to the left to reduce it.

The automatic regulation of the air

conditioning will use its maximum

performance settings to correct the

temperature difference as quickly as

possible.

Press control 3b to change the distribution

of the air flow on the passenger's side.

The indicator lamps corresponding to the

to reduce the air flow.

The air flow level is indicated by the

progressive illumination of the fan

blade indicator lamps.

This function permits recirculation

of the air and isolation of the

passenger compartment from

exterior fumes and odours.

Reducing the air flow to minimum switches

the air conditioning system OFF.

To prevent condensation and deterioration

of the quality of the air in the passenger

compartment, ensure that an adequate flow of

air is maintained.

Press control 7 a third time

to return to the standard

automatic mode (without

pollution detection).

Avoid prolonged use of air

recirculation - Risk of misting and

deterioration of air quality!

Recirculation of the interior air is automatically

activated when engaging reverse or if the

screenwash is used.

The system is inactive when the ambient

temperature is below +5 °C to avoid the risk of

formation of mist on the windscreen and side

windows.

recirculation with pollution

detection.

The air conditioning will only

operate when the engine is running.

The air blower control (air flow

adjustment) must be active in order

interior air once it detects a certain level of

pollutants in the interior air.

When the air quality returns to a satisfactory

level, the recirculation of interior air is

automatically deactivated.

8. Rear demisting / defrosting

9. Front demisting / defrosting

The heated rear screen operates

independently of the air

conditioning system.

In certain cases, the "AUTO"

mode may not be sufficient to

demist or defrost the windows

(humidity, several passengers,

ice).

When starting with the engine cold,

air flow will reach its optimum level

gradually to prevent an excessive

distribution of cold air.

Press control 8, with the engine running, to

demist the rear screen and the mirrors. The

indicator lamp comes on.

When entering the vehicle after it has

been parked for a fairly long period, if

the interior temperature is very different

from your comfort setting there is

no need to change the temperature

displayed in order to quickly reach the

level of comfort required. The system

automatically uses its maximum

performance to correct the difference in

temperature as quickly as possible.

The water resulting from the air
