The heating and ventilation system provides
fresh, heated or de-humidified air through air
vents at the windscreen, face and foot levels
and to the rear passenger compartment where
shown in the illustration.
Face level vents
Push the thumbwheel down/up to open/close
the vent. Direct the airflow by moving the
slider in the centre of the vent. Fully opening
the drivers outboard vent also opens the lap
cooler outlet.

noise, the vents should be fully open
whenever the air distribution control is set to
face level.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (ATC)
Automatic temperature control consists of a
computer controlled heating and air
conditioning system. It is programmed to
reach and then maintain optimum levels of
comfort within the vehicle, irrespective of
climatic conditions.
FULLY AUTOMATIC OPERATION
With the engine running, press the Auto
button(3)(Auto appears in the display) and
then press the rocker switches(1)either side
of the display(2)to adjust the temperature for
the corresponding side of the vehicle, until an
agreeable comfort level (about 21ÊC or 70ÊF is
recommended) is reached. HI or LO will
appear in the display when the
maximum/minimum temperatures are
selected, in which case the system will not
function automatically.
To change the temperature scale to either
Centigrade or Fahrenheit press the two
outermost air distribution buttons(4)
simultaneously for approximately 4 seconds.NOTE:The automatic temperature control
system will not achieve temperatures on the
passenger side of the vehicle that are more
than 11ÊF (6ÊC) greater or less than the
temperature set for the drivers side.
For optimum comfort, ensure all the vents,
including those in the rear, are open and that
the slider in the centre of each vent is in its
central position.
NOTE:For ATC to function correctly, all
windows should be closed and the air intake
at the base of the windscreen must be free
from ice, snow, leaves or other debris.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of accidents caused by
poor visibility, always remove frost and
snow from all glass surfaces and clear snow
from hood and roof panels before driving.

Programmed defrost/demist
With the engine running, press
the PROG button to
clear frost or mist at the beginning of a
journey (indicator light illuminates and the
PROG symbol appears in the display).
The programmed defrost facility
automatically activates the following:
·The most efficient heater settings to clear
the windscreen and front side windows
·The heated rear screen - for a maximum of
16 minutes
·The heated windscreen - for a maximum
of 4 minutes
Press the button again to deactivate
programmed defrost and restore the original
settings.
Recirculation
Press to recirculate air inside the
vehicle interior (indicator light
illuminates) - useful to prevent traffic fumes
from entering the passenger compartment.
Press again to cancel recirculation.
WARNING
Prolonged recirculation may cause the
windows to mist. If this happens, switch off
air recirculation immediately.
Air conditioning off
Press to switch the air
conditioning off (indicator light
illuminates). With air conditioning off, the ATC
will function in a semi-automatic mode with
minimal disturbance to your comfort. When
the ATC can no longer achieve comfort
without assistance from the air conditioning,
the air conditioning indicator light will flash
for 10 seconds. Press again to restore the
previous air conditioning settings.
NOTE:In very humid conditions, slight
screen misting may be experienced when the
air conditioning system is turned on. This is a
natural occurrence on most automotive air
conditioning systems. It is not a fault; misting
will clear after a few seconds once the air
conditioning system is operating.
