A pleasant interior temperature
Press AUTO key 6 to switch on the
automatic mode. Select the interior
temperature which you find most
agreeable.
Details of the full range of settings and
how to obtain them are given below.
Your car is programmed so that
your preferred automatic air con-
ditioning settings are called up when-
ever you unlock the car with your per-
sonal remote-control key.

AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the
setting of air distribution for you
and also adapts your temperature pref-
erences to suit ambient conditions: e.g.
summer, winter.
You can have your car configured
so as to have the cooling function
switched on automatically when the
AUTO program is in use.
<
Individual air distribution
You can adjust air distribution
and override the AUTO program
if you prefer; this has no effect
on automatic air supply. Air
flows to the windows , to the upper-
body area , and to the footwell .
You can switch automatic air distribu-
tion on again by pressing the AUTO
button.
Temperature
The displayed values are a guide
to the actual interior temperature.
22
6 (equivalent to 727) is rec-
ommended as a pleasant setting,
whether or not the air conditioning is in
operation. During the journey, the cho-
sen temperature is reached as quickly
as possible – in summer and in winter –
and maintained at a constant value.
You can change the unit of measure –
6 or 7 – of the reading, see page
76 .
Air supply/blower
You can vary the air supply by
pressing the upper or lower but-
ton. This will shut down the auto-
matic air supply; the word AUTO disap-
pears from the display. The automatic
air distribution function remains in oper-
ation. You can switch automatic air
supply on again by pressing the AUTO
button.
If you press the lower button at the low-
est blower speed, all the displays go
out: the blower, heater and air condi-
tioning are switched off and the air sup-
ply is closed. The system is switched
on again by pressing any automatic air
conditioning button.
Defrosting and demisting
windows
This program removes ice and
condensation quickly from the
windscreen and from the side windows.
Air-conditioning mode
Air is cooled and dried and
reheated to suit the temperature
setting.
Depending on weather conditions, the
windscreen may fog over momentarily
when the engine is started. Switching
on the air conditioning helps prevent
the windows misting over.
