We recommend that you use this mode. It automatically adjusts all settings to provide optimum operation for the comfort level chosen: passenger compartment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air recirculation. This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually. In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, side windows and footwells o n l y.

A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However, depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal. It is recommended that the difference between left and right should not be greater 3.
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.
