The automatic climate control system

guarantees comfort in the passen-

ger compartment and good visibility

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), whilst optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recircula-

tion, and starting and stopping the air

conditioning and air temperature. This

mode consists of a choice of three pro-

grammes:

Varying the ventilation speed

In automatic mode, the system uses

the most suitable amount of air to reach

and maintain the desired comfort level.

Temperature adjustment

To exit this function, press:

– button 10 again,

Press one of the buttons 1 or 6 to in-

crease or reduce the temperature

on the left-hand side 1 or right-hand

side 6. Pressing button 3 for more than

2 seconds sets the passenger tempera-

ture to the driver’s temperature.

– one of either button 2, 3 or 4.

You can still adjust the ventilation speed

by pressing buttons 12 to increase or

reduce the ventilation speed.

Special note: the highest and lowest

settings allow the system to produce

maximum hot or cold temperature

levels (“LO” and “HI” on display 13).

In this case, the ventilation speed,

which is no longer controlled automat-

ically, appears in zone A on the dis-

play 13.

Some buttons have an operating

tell-tale which indicates the operat-

ing status.

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.

When starting the engine, increas-

ing or decreasing the value dis-

played will not allow the com-

fort level to be reached any more

quickly. The system will always op-

timise the temperature increase or

decrease (the ventilation system

does not start instantly at maximum

speed: it gradually increases). This

may take several minutes.

Switching air conditioning on

Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

or off

In automatic mode, the system switches

the air conditioning system on or off,

depending on the climate conditions.

Press switch 8 to switch off the air

conditioning; the integrated indicator

comes on and “AC OFF” is shown on

the display 13.

You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-

matic programmes AuTo, SoFT or FAST.

In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning

functions are controlled by the system.

You can also change the system selection, in this case, indicator light for button 3

will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the system,

is shown on display 13.

To return to automatic mode, press one of the AuTo, SoFT or FAST programmes.

Recycling

This function is controlled automati-

cally, but it can also be activated manu-

ally.

Note:

– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-

ing in polluted areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

Manual use

Stopping the system

Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-

tion to be forced, in this case, the inte-

grated indicator comes on.

Press button 7 to switch off the system;

in this case “OFF” is shown on the dis-

play 13. To switch the system on, press

one of the 2, 3 or 4 switches.

Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.

We therefore advise you to return to au-

tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-

culation function is no longer required,

by pressing button 11 again.

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.
