1 - Automatic comfort regulation
A press on this button, confirmed by the dis -
play of the A/C warning lamp and of AUTO
on the screen, provides automatic control, at
the temperature selected, of all the following
5 functions :
- air flow,
- cabin temperature, on left hand side and right hand side,
- air distribution,
- air conditioning,
- automatic air recirculation. For this facility to operate, it is recommended to keep
all the air vents open.
Using the
AUTO mode will prevent misting inside the
vehicle in cold or humid weather.
Note : When starting from cold, in order to avoid a
rush of cold air, the blower attains its optimum level
progressively.
Manual resumption of one or more functions
It is possible to adjust each of the functions 4, 6 and
10 manually. The display of the «AUTO» function will
then go off.
Resumption by the driver of the adjustment
of cabin temperatures (for the front and rear
passengers) - A long press on this button will realign the tem -
peratures for all passengers with the preferences
of the driver.

2 - Adjustment of temperature
The system can regulate temperature on an indepen-
dent basis for the left hand side and right hand side
as well as for the rear of the passenger compartment.
Front and rear passengers can thus adjust their own
temperatures.
To display the desired temperature, press button :
- – to decrease the temperature,
- + to increase the temperature.
An adjustment around 21 will provide an agreeable
temperature level. However, depending on your prefe-
rence, anything between 18 and 24 is quite normal.
For optimum comfort, it is recommended to avoid an
adjustment difference greater than 3 between right
and left.
Note : Actual temperatures experienced in the passenger
compartment are dependent on external factors and f or
this reason might not be identical to those display ed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside temperature may
be much colder (or hotter) than would be comfortable.
It serves no purpose to alter the temperature displayed
in an attempt to attain your preference more rapidly.
The system automatically does all in its power to make
up the difference in temperature as soon as possible.
