compartment from exte-
rior fumes and odours.

Intake of air in automatic
anti-pollution mode
This is activated by de-
fault in automatic comfort
regulation mode.
The automatic mode has an air qual-
ity sensor. It analyses the air and
isolates the passenger compart-
ment from the outside if it detects
the presence of pollutants. In this
case, it automatically activates the
recirculation of the passenger com-
partment air.
This function does not detect un-
pleasant odours and therefore does
not prevent them from entering the
passenger compartment. It is not
active when the exterior tempera-
ture is below +5 °C to avoid the risk
of condensation forming inside the
vehicle.
Closing the air intake

 Press control 7 to
close the exterior air
intake.
It must be cancelled as soon as pos-
sible to permit renewal of the air in
the passenger compartment and de-
misting.

Intake of exterior air

 Press control 7 once
to open the exterior air
intake.
While retaining the other settings,
this position allows the driver to iso-
late himself from unpleasant exterior
odours and fumes at any time.
