1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passen
ger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
) Press the "AUTO"
button repeatedly:
- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low"setting mode is selected,
- a second indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,
- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"hi
gh" mode setting is selected.
Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at
t
he rear.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum levelprogressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfor t value, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required.In all seasons, with the windows closedthe system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
