COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle's
passenger compartment.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode. Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to in-
crease or reduce the speed of the venti-
lation blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- level of comfort required,
- air fl ow,
- air distribution,
- demisting and defrosting,
- manual or automatic air conditioning controls.

REAR SCREEN DEMIST AND
DEFROST
Switching on
The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.

 Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending on
version) the exterior mirrors. The
indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.
Switching off
The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.

 It is possible to stop the demisting/de-
frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off. The control button is located on

fore the demisting/defrosting is
switched off automatically, demist-
ing/defrosting will resume next
time the engine is switched on.

 Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and exterior mirrors as soon
as you consider this neces-
sary as lower current con-
sumption results in reduced
fuel consumption.

interior air (risk of condensation
or deterioration of the air quality).
Pressing this button several
times in succession enables
