Ease of use and comfort
All three buttons can be activated
simultaneously. In this case, priority is
given to the air ows from the central and side
air vents, and from those in the passenger
footwells.
Air conditioning on/o󰀨
The air conditioning is designed to operate
e󰀨ectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:
– lower the temperature, in summer,
– increase the e󰀨ectiveness of the demisting in
winter, above 3°C.
► Press button 5 to turn the air conditioning on/
o󰀨.
The air conditioning cannot operate when
the air ow adjustment is set to OFF.
Recirculation of interior air
The intake of exterior air helps avoid and
eliminate misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
When required, this function also allows
faster heating or cooling of the air in the
passenger compartment.

need to alter the value displayed to reach
the required level of comfort more quickly.
