You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AuTo, SoFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator light for
button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the
system, is shown on display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the AuTo, SoFT or FAST pro-
grammes.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increasing
or decreasing the value displayed
will not allow the comfort level to
be reached any more quickly. The
system will always optimise the tem-
perature increase or decrease (the
ventilation system does not start in-
stantly at maximum speed: it gradu-
ally increases). This may take several
minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there
is a particular reason not to, the
dashboard air vents should remain
open.
