COMFORT
AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning can only operate
when the engine is running. For your comfort, when the en-
gine is switched off, the settings
are retained until the engine is
switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air ﬂ ow will only reach
its optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior is very cold or hot, there
is no need to change the value
displayed in order to reach the
required level of comfort. The
system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as
quickly as possible.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO" button. The

"AUTO" symbol is displayed.
We recommend that you use this mode,
it provides optimised automatic control
of all of the following functions: passen-
ger compartment temperature, air ﬂ ow,
air distribution and air intake, in accord-
ance with the comfort value that you
have chosen.
This system is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. 2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Press the "

" and "

" but-
tons to change this value. A
setting around the value 21
enables optimum comfort to be
obtained. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting
between 18 and 24 is usual. 3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be sufﬁ cient
for rapid demisting or defrost-
ing of the windscreen and side
windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibil-
ity programme. The button 3 indicator
lamp comes on.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning and the ﬂ ow of air and
provides optimum distribution of the ven-
tilation to the windscreen and side win-
dows. It deactivates air recirculation 5 .
To exit this programme, press button 3
again or "AUTO" , the indicator lamp on
the button is switched off and "AUTO"
is displayed.

tions manually while leaving the other
functions in automatic mode.
The "AUTO" symbol switches off.
To return to automatic mode, press the

"AUTO" button.
Switching to manual mode may
not be suitable (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation)
and does not provide optimum
comfort.

5. Air intake/Air recirculation
Press this button for recircula-
tion of the interior air. The air

rior odours and smoke. 6. Air distribution adjustment
Avoid prolonged recirculation of
interior air (risk of condensation
or deterioration of the air quality).
Pressing this button several
times in succession enables
the air ﬂ ow to be directed in
turn towards:

increase the air ﬂ ow.
The air ﬂ ow symbol, the fan, ﬁ lls pro-
gressively according to the value re-
quested.
Switching the system off
Avoid driving for long periods
with the air conditioning switched
off (risk of misting and reduction
of the air quality in the cabin). Press the air ﬂ ow
"empty fan"
button of air ﬂ ow 7 until the fan
symbol disappears.
This action switches off all of the func-
tions of the air conditioning system.
Thermal comfort is no longer control-
led. A slight ﬂ ow of air resulting from the
movement of the vehicle, remains per-
ceptible however.
Pressing the air ﬂ ow "full fan" button of
air ﬂ ow 7 or on "AUTO" reactivates the
system with the values set before it was
switched off. Press the

to decrease the air ﬂ ow.
For maximum cooling or heating
of the cabin, it is possible to go
beyond the minimum 14 or maxi-
mum 28 values.
