CLIMATE CONTROL
(continued)
3.10
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in
cold or hot weather, increasing
or decreasing the values displayed
does not mean that the temperature
is reached more quickly, whatever
the indicated temperature may
be, the system optimises the
increase or decrease in temperature
(the ventilation system does not
start instantly at maximum speed:
it gradually increases until the
engine temperature is sufficient,
which may take from a few
seconds to several minutes).
Generally speaking, unless there
is a particular fault, the dashboard
air vents should remain open.
The automatic mode is the
recommended mode of use:
in
this mode the automatic climate
control system guarantees
comfort in the passenger
compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme
conditions), while optimising
consumption. The types of
adjustments that can be made are
described on the following pages.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.
Ambient temperature:
(automatic mode)
(continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen
comfort level and to maintain good
visibility, the system controls:
- the ventilation speed;
- the air distribution,
- the air recirculation management,
- starting and stopping of the air
conditioning,
- the air temperature.
Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the normal
operating mode of the system but
you may alter the selections made
by the system (air distribution,
etc.). These options are explained
on the following pages.
