DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS
FAST DEMISTING AND/OR DEFROSTING
Windscreen and side windows
1) Air temperature knob: pointer on red sector
(turned fully to the right).
2) Fan knob: pointer at maximum speed.
3) Air distribution knob: pointer to -.
4) Press the air conditioner button √.
5) Air recirculation off (switch light off).
When the windscreen and windows have been
demisted, adjust the controls to maintain the required
degree of comfort and visibility.
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very
useful for faster demisting because it dries the air.
Adjust the controls for demisting as described above
and press switch
√ to start the climate control (led
on).
Rear window
Press button (. The electric mirror demisting device
also comes on.
As soon as the rear window is clear, switch the device
off.
RECIRCULATION
When switch T is pressed (led on) only internal air
circulates.
IMPORTANT When the outside temperature is very
high, switching on the recirculation system will cool
the air more quickly. Moreover it is very useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam,
tunnel, etc.). You are advised against using this facility
for long periods, especially if there are many people in
the car.
IMPORTANT Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of the windows misting inside.
When the car is fitted with climate control, it is also
fitted with pollen filter. This captures fastidious
particles and dust.
The system uses R134a cooling fluid, which if accidentally spilt, does not damage the environment.
Never use R12 fluid, which could damage the system components.
