time to start operating.

The immediate or programmed
activation of Ventilation mode depends
on the temperatures inside and outside
the vehicle.

Always switch off the programmable
heating while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area such
as a garage or workshop not equipped
with exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle on an
inflammable surface (dry grass, dead
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.

Using these two clocks and according
to season you can, for example, select
one or the other departure time.
A message in the instrument panel
screen confirms your choice.

- the

battery is not sufficiently

charged.

To programme the heating and the
ventilation, it is necessary to first
deactivate the alarm volumetric and tilt
monitoring (see the "Alarm" section).
