By means of the pollution sen-
sor, the system also optimises
the air quality. On entering the vehicle, if
the interior temperature is
much colder or warmer than
the comfort value, there is no need
to change the value displayed in or-
der to obtain the comfort required.
The system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and his front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3. 4 . A u t o m a t i c v i s i b i l i t y p r o g r a m m e
