Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning inside the cabin uses
a number of sensors that relieve
you of the need to make adjust-
ments outside the displayed tem-
perature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor located on the dash-
board.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for
the air inlet, at the bottom of the
windscreen, is clean and free of
dead leaves, snow, etc.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels so that you can
adjust the air flow and direction
(up-down, right-left).
Air circulation
Air vents on the floor underneath
the front seats provide enhanced
heating for the rear seat positions :
take care not to obstruct them.
Dust filter / odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours
and dust.
This filter has to be changed in
accordance with the vehicle main-
tenance schedule (see the Main-
tenance Guide). Air conditioning
To ensure that your system oper-
ates correctly, it is recommended
to have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this
purpose. A pool of water may thus
form under the vehicle when sta-
tionary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential
to operate the air conditioning at
least once in every month.
To be effective, the air condition-
ing should only be used with the
windows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright
sunlight the interior temperature is
excessive, air the passenger com-
partment by opening the windows
for a few moments, then close
them again.
The air conditioning operates by
using power from the engine. This
results in a slight increase in fuel
consumption.
