AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
(5/5)
Automatic usage
Press button 16 (a warning light comes
on in zone 14 ).
Manual use
Press button 5 to force air recirculation.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We advise you to return to automatic
mode as soon as air recirculation is no
longer needed, by pressing key 16 or
button 5 again.
To exit this function, press key 16 or
button 5 again.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
Press buttons 12 to select the desired
distribution (a warning light is displayed
in zone 14 ):
Ø

to the demisting vents for the
windscreen and the side windows.
½

to the dashboard air vents.
¿

towards the footwells.
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

Air recirculation
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the exter-
nal atmosphere to be cut off (when
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and
to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly.
