and a third time to turn off.

Note: The amber tell-tale indicators in the
switches will illuminate when the function is
selected.

Economy mode (2)

When selected economy mode will achieve the
lowest possible temperature without using the
air conditioning system. This reduces power
consumption and improves fuel economy.

Air distribution (3)

Rotate the control to set the air distribution to
the required points.

Note: In low temperatures it is advisable to
close the centre face level vent, and direct air
flow from the outer face level vents towards the
side windows. This will help to keep the
windows clear of ice.

Note: It is possible to distribute air to two areas
simultaneously. For example; to distribute air
to both the windscreen and the foot vents set
the rotary control (5) to a point between the
windscreen and foot vent symbols.

Recirculation (7)

When selected, the air is recirculated inside the
vehicle. This helps to maintain a high or low
temperature, and is useful for preventing
fumes from entering the vehicle.

Note: Prolonged use at low temperatures may
cause the windows to mist.

Auto mode (7)

When the Auto function is selected, you have
the opportunity to select a fully automatic
operation, or manually adjust the fan speed and
the direction of air flow. All other adjustments
which are necessary to maintain the
temperature that you have selected are made
automatically by the climate control system.

There are two tell-tale indicators on the Auto
button. The round indicator represents the
blower control, and the rectangular indicator
the air distribution control. In fully automatic
mode both indicators illuminate, the round
indicator will extinguish if the blower speed is
changed manually, and the rectangular
indicator extinguishes if the air distribution is
changed manually.

To resume fully automatic operation at any
time, press the Auto button.

Recirculation (9)

When selected, the air is recirculated inside the
vehicle. This helps to maintain a high or low
temperature, and is useful for preventing
fumes from entering the vehicle.

A single brief press will select recirculation for
four minutes. The system will then revert to
fresh air intake to prevent misting.

Pressing and holding the button will select
recirculation until it is switched off. This state
is indicated by three flashes of the tell-tale lamp
in the switch.

Note: Prolonged use at low temperatures may
cause the windows to mist.

HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS

The heated windscreen is switched on by
briefly pressing the switch (4).

Note: The operation of the heated mirrors is
fully automatic, and requires no driver
intervention.

AUXILIARY HEATER

Your vehicle may be fitted with an auxiliary
heater which is powered by fuel drawn from the
vehicle's tank. The heater only operates at low
ambient temperatures, and is fully automatic.

When the heater is operating exhaust fumes
from the heater may be visible exiting from the
front underside. This is normal, and not a
cause for concern.
