Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system guarantees comfort in the passenger compartment and good visibility (except in the event of extreme conditions), whilst optimising consumption. The system controls the ventilation speed, air distribution, air recirculation, and starting and stopping the air conditioning and air temperature.
AUTO: optimises the selected comfort level according to exterior conditions. Press the button 2.
Tip
Any action on a button other than the AUTO button triggers deactivation of automatic mode.

Adjusting the ventilation fan speed

In automatic mode, the system uses the most suitable amount of air to reach and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed by turning control 4 to increase or reduce the ventilation speed.

Adjusting the air temperature

Turn control 1 or control 8 according to the temperature required.
Turning the control to the right increases the temperature.

SYNC function

For a synchronised passenger compartment setting, press button 7 to activate it. The button indicator light 7 lights up.
To deactivate the function, press the button 7 again or use the control 8 and adjust the right-hand side separately from the left-hand side.
The 7 button warning light switches off.
Tip
Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.

"Clear View" function

Press button 3 and the built-in warning light comes on.
This function quickly demists and de-ices the windscreen, the rear screen, the front side windows and the door mirrors (depending on the vehicle). It automatically activates the air conditioning and rear screen de-icing functions.
Press the button 10 to deactivate the heated rear screen: the integrated indicator light goes out.
To exit this function, press button 2 or 3.

Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Press the control 5 as many times as necessary to select the passenger compartment air distribution mode. The display of the control 5 confirms the selected distribution mode.
The air flow is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.
The air flow is distributed between front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.
The air flow is directed towards the dashboard air vents, the front footwells and, depending on the vehicle, the second row footwells.
The air flow is mainly directed to the dashboard air vents.
The air flow is directed mainly towards the footwells.

Rear screen de-icing and demisting

Press button 10 and the built-in warning light comes on. This function enables rapid demisting or de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing of the rear view mirrors (on equipped vehicles).
To exit this function, press button 10 again. Demisting automatically stops.

Switching the air conditioning on or off

In automatic mode, the system switches the air conditioning system on or off, depending on the climate conditions.
Press the button 6 to force deactivation of the air conditioning. The integrated indicator light goes off.
Tip
Energy consumption increases when the air conditioning is being used (switch it off when it is not required).

Air recirculation (isolation of the passenger compartment)

This function is managed automatically but you can also activate it manually. In this case, the operation is confirmed by the illumination of an indicator light on the button 9.
Tip
Demisting/de-icing will still take priority over the air recirculation.
Manual use
Press button 9 and the built-in warning light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead to odours, caused by non-renewal of air, and the formation of condensation on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to automatic mode as soon as air recirculation is no longer needed, by pressing button 9.
Stopping the system
Turn the control 4 to "OFF" to stop the system. To start it, turn the control 4 again to adjust the blower speed or press button 2.
