In cold weather with the engine cold,
the air flow is increased gradually until
the system has warmed up, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value setting, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
in order to reach more quickly the
required level of comfort. The system
compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference.
This setting is associated with AUTO mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the last setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if deactivated.
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the comfort level selected.
You can always choose to modify a setting
manually. In this case the indicator lamp in the
button is off.
