the air from the floor outlets and the air from
the center and side outlets will be the same

Air conditioning on / off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
It is used to:
– lower the temperature in summer,
– increase the effectiveness of the demisting in
winter, above 3°C.
► Press button 4 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
Air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow is disabled.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable
interior air recirculation for a brief period.
Then return to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result
in some discomfort (humidity or misting).
Interior air recirculation
► Place the thumbwheel 5 in this
position to activate interior air
recirculation.
When this position is selected, outside air
is shut off and inside air is recirculated. This
mode is suitable when driving through an area
with polluted air such as a tunnel or when
attempting to quickly cool down the vehicle.
Ease of use and comfort
► To restore exterior air intake, place the
thumbwheel in any other position.
Outside air is introduced.
Defogging / Demisting
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons. However,
during winter or high humid conditions, it is
recommended to use the following settings to
defog or demist the wind shield quickly:
► Push the A/C button 4 on.
► Place the thumbwheel 5 in this
position to activate fresh air circulation.
► Place the air flow adjustment and the
air distribution thumbwheels 2 and 3 to
the defrost position.
► Set the temperature knob 1 to the desired
position.
► Once fog/mist clears, set the temperature
knob 1 to the desired position.
Make sure you have a clear view through the
wind shield for your safety.
Use the A/C system effectively by
adjusting the temperature to the
desired position.
