AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Ambient temperature:
automatic mode (continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen comfort
level and to maintain good visibility, the
system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– air temperature.
3.10
(continued)
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 level
is reached more quickly (the system
optimises the temperature increase
or decrease whatever the air tem-
perature indicated). The ventilation
does not start immediately at maxi-
mum power but increases progres-
sively: this may take between a few
seconds and several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.
Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the system's
normal operating mode (AUTO light on)
but you may alter the selections made
by the system (air distribution, etc.).
These options are explained on the fol-
lowing pages.
This is the recommended mode
of use: the automatic heating and
air conditioning system guarantees
comfort (except in the event of ex-
treme conditions) in the passenger
compartment and good visibility
while optimising consumption.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.
