Air flow adjustment
"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once a certain level of polluting
substances in the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect unpleasant
odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
front screenwash is used or when reverse gear is
engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5 °C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows.
To activate or deactivate the function, go to the
secondary page by using the "OPTIONS" button,
then press button 12.

When the air flow is reduced to a minimum,
ventilation stops.
"OFF" is displayed alongside the fan.

distribution inside the passenger compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
In cold weather with the engine cold, the

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.
