CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Ambient temperature (automatic
mode)
The climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passenger
compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme
conditions), while optimising
consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use. Only the temperature and the
AUTO symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic
mode are not displayed.- press button
7to increase the
temperature,
- press button 4to decrease the
temperature.
Note: the minimum and maximum
settings “15 °C” and “27 °C” allow
the system to produce a maximum
amount of cold or warm air,
regardless of the ambient
conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO
indicator light on the display is
lit), all air conditioning functions
are controlled by the system.
When you modify certain
functions the AUTO indicator
light goes out. Only the modified
function is not controlled by the
system.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Ambient temperature: (automatic
mode)
(continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen
comfort level and to maintain good
visibility, the system controls:
- ventilation speed,
- the air distribution,
- the air recirculation management,
- starting and stopping of the air conditioning,
- the air temperature.Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the normal
operating mode of the system but
you may alter the selections made
by the system (air distribution, etc.).
These options are explained on the
following pages.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or
decreasing the values displayed
does not mean that the temperature
is reached more quickly, whatever
the indicated temperature may be,
the system optimises the increase
or decrease in temperature (the
ventilation system does not start
instantly at maximum speed: it
gradually increases until the
engine temperature is sufficient,
which may take from a few seconds
to several minutes).
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.
The automatic mode is the
recommended mode of use: in
this mode the automatic climate
control system guarantees comfort
in the passenger compartment and
good visibility (except in the event
of extreme conditions), while
optimising consumption. The
types of adjustments that can be
made are described on the
following pages.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Air recirculation mode
Pressing button 14activates air
recirculation (the symbol lights up
on the display).
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 external
atmosphere to be isolated (when
driving in polluted areas, etc.). Prolonged use of this function may
lead to odours caused by non-
renewal of air and the formation of
condensation on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air or
automatic recirculation) as soon as
air recirculation is no longer
needed, by pressing button
14.
