In cold weather with the engine cold, the   air   flow   is   increased   gradually   until  
t

he system has warmed up, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger
 c

ompartment.
On
  entering   the   vehicle,   if   the   interior  
t

emperature is much colder or warmer
than
  the   comfort   value   setting,   there  
i

s no need to alter the value displayed
in
  order   to   reach   more   quickly   the

equired   level   of   comfort.   The   system  
c

ompensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly
  as   possible.
This
 
setting   is   associated   with   AUTO   mode

Operating fault
Whenever parking, you must apply the parking brake   to   immobilise   the   vehicle,   if   automatic

Parking the vehicle
In all circumstances, ensure that the
gear  selector   is   in   position   P before
leaving

gearbox,
  the   service   warning   lamp  
c

For
  your   comfort,   during   parking  
m

anoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming
  out   of   reverse   gear.
The Stop & Start system does not affect
the functionality of the vehicle, such as
for
  example,   braking,   power   steering...
Special cases: STOP mode not
