AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING 1 - Automatic operation
This system automatically regulates
temperature, air fl ow and air distribu-

according to the temperature select-
ed (for each side, right and left).
It provides an optimum level of com-
fort regardless of the climatic con-
ditions, by permanent use of the
automatic air conditioning mode
(press the AUTO button ) and with

all the vents open.
Having no airfl ow prevents the air
conditioning and the system in
general from working.

To prevent misting of the interior
of the vehicle in cold and damp
conditions, the use of AUTO
mode is recommended. 2 - Adjustment of
temperature on left
hand side
To set and display the de-
sired temperature, rotate
control 2 or 3 :

responds to a demand for
maximum heating (above 27).
The display LO (low) cor-
responds to a demand for
maximum air conditioning
(below 15).
3 - Adjustment of
temperature on right
hand side
- To the left to lower the tempera- ture
- To the right to raise the tempera- ture
The difference between the tem-
peratures on the right and on the left
cannot be greater than 3 degrees.
A setting around 21 will provide a
temperature that is comfortable.
Depending on your requirements,
an adjustment between 18 and 24 is
normal.
A press on this control,
confi rmed by the display of

"A/C" and "AUTO" , auto-
matically manages all the
5 following functions according to
the temperature chosen:
