Digital air conditioningThe air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"  button.  T
he "AUTO"  symbol   is   displayed.
We
  recommend   that   you   use  
t

his   mode.   It   provides   optimised  
a

utomatic
  control   of   all   of   the   following  
f

unctions:
  passenger   compartment  
t

emperature,   air   flow,   air   distribution   and   air  
i

ntake,
 
in
 
accordance   with   the   comfort   value  
t

hat
 
you
 
have   chosen.
This
 
system   is   designed   to   operate   effectively  
i

n
 
all
 
seasons,   with   the   windows   closed. For
  your   comfort,   when   the   engine   is  
s

witched   off,   the   settings   are   retained  
u

ntil   the   engine   is   switched   on   again.
To   prevent   too   great   a   distribution   of  
c

old   air   when   the   engine   is   cold,   the   air  
f

low   will   only   reach   its   optimum   level  
g

radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds t
o   a   level   of   comfort   and   not   to   a   temperature   in  
d

egrees   Celsius   or   Fahrenheit. On
  entering   the   vehicle,   if   the   interior  
i

s   very   cold   or   hot,   there   is   no   need   to  
c

hange   the   value   displayed   in   order  
t

o   reach   the   required   level   of   comfort.  
T

he   system   corrects   the   temperature  
d

ifference   automatically   and   as   quickly  
a

s   possible.
Press the " 5"
  and   "6 " buttons to
change
  this   value.   A   setting   around  
t

he value 21
 
enables   optimum  
c

omfort   to   be   obtained.   However,  
d

epending   on   your   requirements,   a  
s

etting   between   18   and   24   is   usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme

In
 
this
 
case,   select   the   automatic   visibility  
p

rogramme.   The   button   3   indicator   lamp  
comes
 
on.
The
 
system   automatically   controls   the   air  
c

onditioning   and   the   flow   of   air   and   provides  
o

ptimum
 
air   distribution   to   the   windscreen   and  
s

ide
 
windows.   It   deactivates   air   recirculation   5.
To
 
exit
 
this   programme,   press   button   3   again  
or "AUTO" ,
