automatic Comfort programme by using the
"OPTIONS" button to select a profile:
– "Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
– "Normal": offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation (default setting).
– "Fast": provides strong and effective air flow.
To change the current profile (shown by the
corresponding indicator lamp), press button 8
repeatedly until the desired profile is displayed:
The "Normal" or "Fast" profiles are the most
comfortable for passengers in the rear seats.
This profile setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of the
AUTO mode, the indicator lamp for the most
recently selected profile remains on.
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
It is used to:
– lower the temperature in summer,
– increase the effectiveness of the demisting in
winter, above 3°C.
► Press button 4 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow is disabled.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
The function is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and, if necessary,
activates interior air recirculation.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Once the function is deactivated, the system
returns to the previous settings.
Changing the profile setting does not reactivate
AUTO mode if it was deactivated.
Automatic Comfort
programme
This automatic mode ensures optimum
management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based
on the selected comfort level.
► Press button 5 to activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system’s automatic mode .
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, 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 setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to more
quickly reach the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
