HANDBRAKE POWER STEERING
Never drive with an inadequately-
charged battery.
Variable power assisted steering
The variable assistance power
steering has an electronic
management system that adapts the
level of assistance to the vehicle
speed.
Steering is made easier during
parking manoeuvres (for added
comfort) whilst the force needed to
steer rises progressively as speed
increases (for enhanced safety at
high speeds).
To apply:
Pull upwards, make sure that the
vehicle cannot move
To release:
Pull lever 1gently upwards, push in
button 2and lower the lever to the
floor.
Make sure that the
handbrake is properly
released when driving
(red indicator light off),
otherwise overheating may occur. Depending on the slope
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary to apply the
brake by an additional two
notches and to engage a gear (1st
or reverse) for manual vehicles, or
position Pfor automatic vehicles.
Never switch off the
ignition when travelling
downhill, and avoid doing
so in normal driving
(power steering and brake servo
will not function).

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).

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,

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.
