The air distribution can be adapted by placing the dial in an intermediate position.
4. Air intake / Air recirculation

Press the button again to permit the intake of exterior air. The indicator lamp goes off to confirm this.
Demisting/defrosting
The marking on the control panel indicates the position of the controls to quickly demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows: place the air intake control 4 in the "Exterior air intake" position (indicator lamp off), place the air distribution dial 3 in the "Windscreen position", place the air flow dial 2 in position 5 (maximum), place the temperature dial 1 in the red position (hot).

Switching on
Press the "A/C" button, the button's indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment control 2 is in position " 0 ".
