additional heating to improve your
comfort.
When the engine is idling or the vehi-
cle is stationary, it is quite normal to
notice a high-pitched whistling noise
and a slight emission of smoke and
odour.
Centre and side vents.
This setting is recommended for high
temperatures.
Recirculation of interior air.
This position prevents exterior odours
and smoke entering the passenger
compartment.
Used simultaneously with the air con-
ditioning, recirculation enables both
heating and cooling performance to
be improved.
Used without the air conditioning,
recirculation may result in misting of
the windows.
As soon as possible, position the con-
trol in the exterior air intake position.

To be adjusted to your requirements.
From blue (cold when the air condi-
tioning is on) to red (hot). 4 . A i r d i s t r i b u t i o n a d j u s t m e n t
Windscreen and side windows
(de-icing/demisting).
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- t u r n t h e t e m p e r a t u r e a n d a i r fl o w controls to maximum,
- close the centre vents,
- position the air intake control in the "Outside Air" position,
- start the air conditioning.
Footwells.
These settings are recommended for
cold climates. Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.
Intake of exterior air.
This is the normal operating position.
