Presentation
Use in cold weather:
Defrosting / demisting
– Close the side and central air vents.
– Move the fan control to position "0" (external air side).
– Move the air distribution control knob to the "defrosting/demisting".
– Move the temperature variator knob into the "hot" zone.
As soon as the temperature rises:
– Move the ventilation control knob to position 1.
With air conditioning:
– Press the air conditioner control button.
With or without air conditioning:
– Increase the air flow as the engine temperature rises.
When the "defrosting/demisting" action is finished, move the temperature variator into the
desired zone. The reaction time varies according to the position chosen. Maintain a mini-
mum air flow for better efficiency.
Use in hot weather:
If the temperature inside the cab is higher than the outside temperature:
– Aerate the cab by driving for a few minutes with the windows down.
– Move the temperature variator knob to "max. cold" and the ventilation control knob to
position 4 to obtain maximum air flow.
With air conditioning:
– Press the air conditioner control button.
As soon as the desired level of comfort is reached:
With or without air conditioning:
– Return the temperature variator knob to a more moderate position.
– Choose the air distribution control knob position.
– Reduce the ventilation. Maintain a minimum air flow for better efficiency (position 1
minimum).
If you wish to increase the heating or cooling power, use the cab air recycling feature with
the air conditioner engaged. Only use the recycling feature in short spells.
