Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recirculation,
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
This mode consists of a choice of three
programmes:
NORMAL : allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 4
or key 9.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort
level more gently and silently. Press
button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the
passenger compartment. This mode
is recommended in particular to opti-
mise comfort in the rear seats. Press
button 10.8

Some buttons have a warning light

Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed
by pressing buttons 11 or 18 or by slid-
ing your finger in zone A.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (2/5)
Temperature adjustment
There are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment setting;
– DUAL function setting to independ- ently adjust the left and right sides.
Uniform passenger compartment
setting
Use control 7.
DUAL function setting
Press button 15 to activate. Use con-
trol 7 to adjust the left side and control 2
for the right side.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, in-
creasing or decreasing the value
displayed will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

Automatic usage
Press button 16 (a warning light comes
on in zone 14).
Manual use
Press button 5 to force air recirculation.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We advise you to return to automatic
mode as soon as air recirculation is no
longer needed, by pressing key 16 or
button 5 again.
To exit this function, press key 16 or
button 5 again.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
Press buttons 12 to select the desired
distribution (a warning light is displayed
in zone 14):
ØThe air flow is mainly directed
to the demisting vents for the
windscreen and the side windows.
½The air flow is mainly directed
to the dashboard air vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

Air recirculation
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the exter- nal atmosphere to be cut off (when
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and
to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly.
