AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or de-
creasing 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 venti-
lation system does not start instantly
at maximum speed: it gradually in-
creases until the engine tempera-
ture is sufficient, which may take
from a few seconds to several min-
utes).
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.

Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the normal oper-
ating 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.
Automatic mode is the recom-
mended mode of use:
The automatic climate control
system guarantees comfort in the
passenger compartment and good
visibility (except in the event of ex-
treme conditions), while optimising
consumption.
The types of adjustments that can
be made are described in the follow-
ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon
as possible.
