degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Press the " 5" and " 6" buttons to
change this value.
a setting around
the value 21 enables optimum
comfort to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme

not be sufficient for rapid demisting or
defrosting of the windscreen and side
windows (humidity, several passengers,
ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility

gradually.
on e
ntering the vehicle, if the interior
is very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfort.
The system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as quickly
as possible. Switching to manual mode may not be
suitable (temperature, humidity, odour,
condensation) and does not provide
optimum comfort.
