Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO" button. T
he "AUTO" symbol is displayed.
We
recommend that you use
t
his mode. It provides optimised
a
utomatic
control of all of the following
f
unctions:
passenger compartment
t
emperature, air flow, air distribution and air
i
ntake,
in
accordance with the comfort value
t
hat
you
have chosen.
This
system is designed to operate effectively
i
n
all
seasons, with the windows closed. For
your comfort, when the engine is
s
witched off, the settings are retained
u
ntil the engine is switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of
c
old air when the engine is cold, the air
f
low will only reach its optimum level
g
radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds t
o a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
d
egrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. On
entering the vehicle, if the interior
i
s very cold or hot, there is no need to
c
hange the value displayed in order
t
o reach the required level of comfort.
T
he system corrects the temperature
d
ifference automatically and as quickly
a
s possible.
Press the " 5"
and "6 " buttons to
change
this value. A setting around
t
