This system automatically regulates temperature, air flow and air distribution in the passenger compartment according to the temperature selected (for each side, right and left).

It provides an optimum level of comfort regardless of the climatic conditions, by permanent use of the automatic air conditioning mode (press the AUTO button) and with all the vents open.

Having no airflow prevents the air conditioning and the system in general from working.

1 - Automatic operation

This is the normal operating mode.

A press on this control, confirmed by the display of "A/C" and "AUTO", automatically manages all the 5 following functions according to the temperature chosen:

- Flow of air.
- Cabin temperature.
- Distribution of air.
- Air conditioning.
- Recycling of air.

To enable the system to operate, all the air vents should be kept open.

To prevent misting of the interior of the vehicle in cold and damp conditions, the use of AUTO mode is recommended.

2 - Adjustment of temperature on left hand side

3 - Adjustment of temperature on right hand side

To display the desired temperature, rotate control 2 or 3:

- To the left to lower the temperature
- To the right to raise the temperature

The difference between the temperatures on the right and on the left cannot be greater than 3.

An adjustment around 21 will provide a temperature that is comfortable. Depending on your requirements, an adjustment between 18 and 24 is normal.

The display HI (high) corresponds to a demand for maximum heating (above 27).

The display LO (low) corresponds to a demand for maximum air conditioning (below 15).

Notes:

- When you enter the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle may be much colder (or warmer) than a comfortable temperature. It is no use modifying the displayed temperature to try to attain the desired level of comfort. The system automatically strives to compensate this temperature discrepancy as rapidly as possible.
- When starting the engine from cold, in order to avoid distributing too much cold air, the blower will attain its optimum level gradually.

Manual recalling of one or more functions

All the functions 4, 6 and 7 can be adjusted manually. Display of the function "AUTO" then disappears.

When you press on control 5, the entry of air from outside is blocked off and the associated symbol is displayed.

This function can also be accessed by pressing the appropriate button on the steering wheel.

While retaining the other settings, this position excludes disagreeable odours or emissions coming from outside. It should be cancelled as soon as possible to prevent misting and to allow fresh air into the cabin.

To deactivate the air recirculation, press again on control 5.

The level of air flow is represented on the display by the progressive filling of the fan blades.

A press on the control 7 deactivates the function "AUTO". To restart it, press again on the control AUTO.

Note: to avoid condensation and poor air quality in the passenger compartment, it is recommended always to maintain a sufficient flow of air.

8 - Demisting - deicing of the windscreen and front side windows

While it is operating, the warning lamp lights and the symbol appears on the display.

This control is for rapid deicing or demisting of the windscreen, acting automatically on the air blower flow, air distribution, air conditioning and air entry.

To stop it, press again on control 8 or on the control AUTO.

Note: you should not have air recirculation selected.

9 - Demisting - deicing of the rear screen

When this function is working, the warning lamp comes on and the symbol appears on the display.
