AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

This provides optimum comfort as well as dehumidifying the air inside the vehicle.

In particular, it allows the temperature to be lowered in summer and the effective-

ness of the demisting to be increased in winter.

Side and central vents.

Press the switch 1, the operating light will come on.

2 - Adjusting the temperature:

Turn the knob 2 to the blue zone (cold) or to the red zone (hot).

On positioning the knob in the white zone the system automatically controls the

operation of the air conditioning. This ensures a comfortable temperature

whatever the climatic conditions may be.

Temperature selection in auto mode requires 12 to 15 seconds before the

required temperature is reached.

4 - Adjusting the air flow

Special features

Important precautions

In the AUTO position the flow is con-

trolled automatically in accordance

with the temperature selected.

You can, however, adjust the flow

manually by turning the knob 4

according to the desired flow.

In AUTO mode, this automatically

adjusts the temperature inside the

vehicle according to your wishes (pre-

set temperature). To do this, the elec-

tronic control unit adjusts the temper-

ature and the flow of air at the vents

and operates the air conditioning

system if necessary.

If the air distribution control is in the

windscreen de-icing position, the air

conditioning system will start operat-

ing automatically when the engine is

switched on.

If the air flow control is in the AUTO

position, and air recirculation is

selected, air conditioning will start

automatically in order to prevent con-

densation on the windows.

When you switch on the ignition, the

air conditioning will automatically

return to the operating mode it was in

when it was last used. If the inside

temperature is greatly different from

the required temperature displayed

and the outside temperature is above

5 °C the air conditioning will switch on

automatically regardless of the posi-

tion of the air flow control.

When the ignition is switched on, if

the system had been in air recircula-

tion mode, the system will automati-

cally allow entry of outside air unless

the temperature inside the vehicle is

over 30 °C.

Operate the air conditioning system

for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a

month to keep it in good working

order.

It is advisable to change the air con-

ditioning

Press the switch 5, the indicator light

The air conditioning comes into oper-

ation automatically.

This position must only be used in

exceptional circumstances to:

- improve the performance of the air

conditioning,

- prevent the entry of external air

(dust, unpleasant odours),

- speed up heating inside the vehicle

with a risk of misting of the

windows.
