"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.

their own temperature setting.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.

mode if it was deactivated.

more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear is
engaged.
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.
Automatic Comfort programme
This automatic mode ensures optimum
management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based

then press button 12.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior

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.
