AUTOMATIC TWO-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
(
for versions/markets where applicable
)
To start the system (
fig. 99
):
- turn the knob rings to set the required
temperatures (driver’s side - passenger’s
side).
- press the
AUTO
button.
IMPORTANT
The climate control sys-
tem makes it possible to personalise the
temperatures required on the two side with
a maximum difference of 7°C between the
driver’s side and the passenger’s side.
IMPORTANT
The climate control com-
pressor only works with the engine running
and an outside temperature above 4°C.
With an outside tempera-
ture below 4°C the climate
control compressor is un-
able to work. It is therefore unad-
visable to use the inside air re-cir-
culation feature
v
with a low
temperature as the windows might
mist over quickly.
For further details about the system and
how to make the best use of it, read the
instructions given in pages that follow.

The coolant used for the
climate control system is
R134a which meets cur-
rent regulations and does not harm
the environment in the event of ac-
cidental spillage.
Absolutely avoid the use of oth-
er fluids which are incompatible
with the system components.
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system, controlled by an electronic
control unit which makes it possible to sep-
arately adjust the air temperature on the dri-
ver’s side and on the passenger’s side. To
obtain optimum temperature control in the
two areas of the passenger compartment,
the system has an outside sensor, a pas-
senger compartment sensor and a two-zone
sun ray sensor.
