Automatic operation

1. Automatic comfort programme
F Press the "AUTO" button. The
indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
We recommend the use of this mode: it permits
automatic and optimised adjustment of all
of the functions, passenger compartment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
recirculation, in accordance with the comfort
value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
air flow will reach its optimum level
gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and footwells
only.
2. Driver's side adjustment
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The driver and front passenger can
each adjust the temperature to their
requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
F Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right
respectively to decrease or increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on
your requirements, a setting between 18 and
24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed in
order to obtain the comfort required.
The system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
