automatic climate control
switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press button 12 to switch off the air
conditioning.
Where possible, it is recommended that automatic mode is used by select-
ing one of the automatic programmes: auto, soFt or Fast.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 4 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection, in this case, indicator light for button 4
will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the system,
is shown on display 17.
To return to automatic mode, press one of programmes: auto, soFt or Fast.

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
However, when the vehicle is
started in hot or cold weather and
the set temperature is lowered or
raised, it is not possible for this tem-
perature to be rapidly reached, re-
gardless of the value displayed. In
particular, when the heating system
is switched on in winter, the ventila-
tion system will not immediately op-
erate at maximum, but will gradually
optimise the ventilation speed until
the engine is sufficiently warm. This
process may take a few seconds or
even several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
