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 for this reason might not be identical to those displayed.
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.

3 - Adjustment of the air blower speed
The air blower operates only when the engine is run ning (except when the REST function is activated).
To adjust the fl ow of air, press on the button :
to increase the air fl ow
to decrease the air fl ow (this button also has the REST function)
The level of air fl ow is indicated on the display by the progressive fi lling of the ventilator blades.
Note : If you place the air blower on position 0, the system is deactivated. The air blower display will be empty, with the indication OFF.
Function for retaining ventilation with the engine switched off
The REST function is available when you switch on the ignition and when you stop the engine.
This function allows you to retain ventilation in the passenger compartment for a few minutes, even with the engine stopped.
When you leave the vehicle, any passengers present can still have the benefi t of air circulation, even though the engine is not running.
