4 - Adjusting the air flow
In the AUTO position the flow is con-
trolled automatically in accordance
with the temperature selected.
You can, however, adjust the flow
manually by turning the knob 4
according to the desired flow.
In AUTO mode, this automatically
adjusts the temperature inside the
vehicle according to your wishes (pre-
set temperature). To do this, the elec-
tronic control unit adjusts the temper-
ature and the flow of air at the vents
and operates the air conditioning
system if necessary.
5 - Recirculation of interior air
Press the switch 5, the indicator light
comes on.
The air conditioning comes into oper-
ation automatically.
This position must only be used in
exceptional circumstances to:
- improve the performance of the air
conditioning,
- prevent the entry of external air
(dust, unpleasant odours),
- speed up heating inside the vehicle
with a risk of misting of the
windows.
YOUR 306 IN DETAIL
Special features
If the air distribution control is in the
windscreen de-icing position, the air
conditioning system will start operat-
ing automatically when the engine is
switched on.
If the air flow control is in the AUTO
position, and air recirculation is
selected, air conditioning will start
automatically in order to prevent con-
densation on the windows.
When you switch on the ignition, the
air conditioning will automatically
return to the operating mode it was in
when it was last used. If the inside
temperature is greatly different from
the required temperature displayed
and the outside temperature is above
5 °C the air conditioning will switch on
automatically regardless of the posi-
tion of the air flow control.
When the ignition is switched on, if
the system had been in air recircula-
tion mode, the system will automati-
cally allow entry of outside air unless
the temperature inside the vehicle is
over 30 °C.

for 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a
month to keep it in good working
order.

ditioning
