This profile setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of the AUTO

Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
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.
