COMFORT
The "Demisting" mode controls the
temperature, air fl ow and intake
and distributes the ventilation to the
windscreen and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
"Demisting" mode. It must be can-
celled to permit renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment and
demisting.
Once the screen is clear, press-
ing control 1 returns the system to
"AUTO" mode.
) Press control 7 , with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the door
mirrors. The indica-
tor lamp comes on.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates in-
dependently of the air conditioning
system.
8. Intake of exterior air /
Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.
- When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually to
prevent an excessive distribu-
tion of cold air.
- When entering the vehicle af-
ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very differ-
ent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.
- The water resulting from the
air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.
- In all seasons, if the weather
is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.
However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
) Press control 8 to set
the air intake mode,
the indicator lamp
comes on.
With Stop & Start, when demist-
ing has been activated, the STOP
mode is not available.
Demisting is switched off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the ambi-
ent temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 7 again or when the engine is
switched off.
It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.
You can store the air condition-
ing settings. Refer to the "Storing
driving positions" section.
