HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
The controls
A - Air recirculation control.
B - Air temperature adjustment.
C - Ventilation speed adjustment.
D - Adjusting the passenger
compartment air distribution. E
- Heated rear screen and heated
door mirror control and
indicator light (depending on
vehicle).
F - Air conditioning control and
warning light (depending on
vehicle).
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control Bto obtain the desired
temperature. The further the slide is
in the red, the more the temperature
will be increased.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin
to feel cold. This can be corrected by
increasing the quantity of hot air
(turn control Bto the right).

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Move control Dto position the slide
opposite the marked positions.
Position
d
All the air flow is directed to the
demisting vents for the windscreen
and the side windows. Position
j
The air flow is distributed between
the demisting vents for the
windscreen, the side windows and
the front and rear footwells.
This is the recommended position
for the best temperature in cold
weather.Position
h
The air flow is mainly directed
towards the passenger footwells.
Position
The air flow is directed to all the air
vents and the front and rear
passenger footwells.
This is the recommended position
for the best temperature in hot
weather.
Position
The air flow is directed towards all
the air vents.
Note:
for quick demisting, set the
controls to the
dpositions:
- external air,
- maximum temperature,
- demisting.
Using the air conditioning increases
the speed of demisting.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Position 0
In this position:
- air conditioning stops automaticallyeven if button Fis activated (the
indicator light remains lit);
- the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
- there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally
be used.
Switching air conditioning
on or off
The air conditioning is switched on
(indicator light on) or off (indicator
light off) using button F.
The air conditioning system can be
used to:
- lower the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
- eliminate condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not
operate when the external
temperature is low.
Adjusting the blower speed
Normal use
Turn control Cto one of the four
positions to start the blower and
adjust the power.
Select position 1for minimum
ventilation and position 4for
maximum ventilation.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Air recirculation operation
(isolating the passenger
compartment)
Turn control Atowards the air
recirculation symbol .
In these conditions air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is
recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is used to:
- isolate the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in
polluted areas, etc.),
- reach the desired temperature in the passenger compartment as
quickly as possible. Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on
the side windows and windscreen
and problems due to the use of
non-renewed air in the passenger
compartment.
We therefore advise you to return
to normal mode (external air) as
soon as the recirculated air
function is no longer required, by
turning control
Aagain.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Ambient temperature (automatic
mode)
The climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passenger
compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme
conditions), while optimising
consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use. Only the temperature and the
AUTO symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic
mode are not displayed.- press button
7to increase the
temperature,
- press button 4to decrease the
temperature.
Note: the minimum and maximum
settings “15 °C” and “27 °C” allow
the system to produce a maximum
amount of cold or warm air,
regardless of the ambient
conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO
indicator light on the display is
lit), all air conditioning functions
are controlled by the system.
When you modify certain
functions the AUTO indicator
light goes out. Only the modified
function is not controlled by the
system.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Ambient temperature: (automatic
mode)
(continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen
comfort level and to maintain good
visibility, the system controls:
- ventilation speed,
- the air distribution,
- the air recirculation management,
- starting and stopping of the air conditioning,
- the air temperature.Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the normal
operating mode of the system but
you may alter the selections made
by the system (air distribution, etc.).
These options are explained on the
following pages.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or
decreasing the values displayed
does not mean that the temperature
is reached more quickly, whatever
the indicated temperature may be,
the system optimises the increase
or decrease in temperature (the
ventilation system does not start
instantly at maximum speed: it
gradually increases until the
engine temperature is sufficient,
which may take from a few seconds
to several minutes).
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.
The automatic mode is the
recommended mode of use: in
this mode the automatic climate
control system guarantees comfort
in the passenger compartment and
good visibility (except in the event
of extreme conditions), while
optimising consumption. The
types of adjustments that can be
made are described on the
following pages.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.
