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
to
  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
change   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

onditioning   and   the   flow   of   air   and   provides  
o

ptimum
 
air   distribution   to   the   windscreen   and  
s

ide
 
windows.   It   deactivates   air   recirculation   5.

Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.
In the event of prolonged storage of the vehicle outside, it is recommended that the roof be protected with a cover.
To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it under snowy or frosty conditions. Never use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof. Never use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear screen. Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left open for long periods. Operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system is not recommended while the roof is open.
Never place objects on the transverse roof support when the roof is open.
It is recommended that the roof be closed when the vehicle is left parked. Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent not to leave any valuable objects inside the vehicle. When you leave the vehicle, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation of the roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for ten minutes.
- an opening operation in progress in zone Bis continued through to completion, - a closing operation in progress in zone B is
stopped and complete opening of the roof to position 3 is carried out automatically, - an opening or closing operation in zone Bfollowing an "anti-panic" function is continued through to completion.
A new operation of the roof will be possible as soon as the vehicle's speed drops below about 70 mph (120 km/h).
