distribution setting is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
+ Air flow distributed between footwell vents and windscreen and front side vents. This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed effectively and prevents the windows from misting.

In AUTO mode, the climate control system automatically manages air distribution (the LEDs on buttons H are off). When set
manually, the air distribution is indicated by the LEDs on the selected buttons switching on. In combined function mode the
relevant function is enabled simultaneously with those already set by pressing the corresponding button. If a button whose
function is already active is pressed, the operation is cancelled and the corresponding LED switches off. To restore automatic
control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button.
Start&Stop
The automatic dual zone climate control system manages the Start&Stop system (engine off when car speed is 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the car. When the Start&Stop system is on (engine off and car at a standstill), the automatic
recirculation management is turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as
the compressor is off).
