choosing one of the available settings.
"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
"Normal": offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).

button several times.
Mode AUTO
The setting is associated with AUTO mode only.
However, when AUTO mode is deactivated, the
previous selection is retained.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if this was deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order to
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger
compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to reach
the required level of comfort more quickly.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
