A pleasant interior temperature
Press AUTO key 7 to switch on the
automatic mode. Select the interior
temperature which you find most
agreeable.
Details of the full range of settings and
how to obtain them are given below.
Your car is programmed so that
your preferred automatic air con-
ditioning settings are called up when-
ever you unlock the car with your per-
sonal remote-control key.

Automatic air distribution and
supply
The AUTO program handles the
setting of air distribution for you
and also adapts your temperature pref-
erences to suit ambient conditions
(summer, winter).
Individual air distribution
You can adjust air distribution
and override the AUTO program
if you prefer; this has no effect
on automatic air supply. Air
flows to the windows
, to the upper-
body area
, and to the footwell
.
You can switch automatic air distribu-
tion on again by pressing the AUTO
button.
Temperature
The displayed values are a
guide to the actual interior tem-
perature. 22
6
(equivalent to 72
7
) is
recommended as a pleasant setting,
whether or not the air conditioning is in
operation. During the journey, the cho-
sen temperature is reached as quickly
as possible in summer and in winter
and maintained at a constant value.
You can change the unit of measure
(
6
/
7
) of the reading, see page 75.
Air supply blower
You can vary the air supply by
pressing the left or right half of
the button. This will shut down the
automatic air supply; the word AUTO
disappears from the display. The auto-
matic air distribution function remains in
operation. You can switch automatic air
supply on again by pressing the AUTO
button.
If you press the left half of the button at
the lowest blower speed, all the dis-
plays go out: the blower, heater and air
conditioning are switched off and the
air supply is closed. The system is
switched on again by pressing any
automatic air conditioning button.
Defrosting and demisting
windows
This program removes ice and
condensation quickly from the
windscreen and from the side windows.
Air-conditioning mode
Air is cooled and dried and
reheated to suit the temperature
setting.
Depending on weather conditions, the
windscreen may fog over momentarily
when the engine is started. Switching
on the air conditioning helps prevent
the windows misting over.
Moisture condensate forms when
the air conditioning is in operation;
this condensation is discharged under-
neath the car. Traces of water on the
ground are therefore normal.
