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.
► Press button 6 to recirculate the interior air or
allow the intake of exterior air.
Avoid prolonged use of interior air
recirculation (due to the risk of misting
and deteriorating air quality).
Ventilation function with the
ignition on
When the ignition is switched on, you can
use the ventilation system to adjust the air
ow settings and the air distribution in the
passenger compartment for a duration which
depends on the battery charge.
This function does not operate the air
conditioning.
Front demist - defrost
These markings on the control panels
indicate the control positions for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the windscreen and
side windows.
During the winter period, direct the side air
vents towards the side windows to optimise their
demisting and defrosting.

The indicator lamp in the button goes o󰀨.
