You are advised to use the automatic air conditioning regulation. This automatically regulates the following f u n c t i o n s f o r m a x i m u m c o m f o r t : a i r fl o w , p a s s e n g e r compartment temperature, and air distribution, using different sensors (external temperature, sunlight). This avoids the need to alter any of the settings, with the exception of the temperature displayed.
Take care not to obstruct the sunlight sensor A.
Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button “AUTO”) and all the air vents are open, you will main-tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not operating.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed. If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, air the passenger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
To ensure the correct operation of the air conditioning system, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once a month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
In certain extreme operating conditions (e.g. carrying a full load up a steep gradient in high temperatures), the switching off of the air conditioning allows more power to be transferred to the engine, thereby increasing the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bot-tom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid targeting the air inlet zone.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front and at the rear.
To obtain an even distribution of air, ensure that you do obstruct the external air inlet grille located at the base of the windscreen, the air vents, the air outlets on the fl o o r u n d e r n e a t h t h e f r o n t s e a t s , a n d t h e a i r e x t r a c t o r l o c a t e d b e h i n d t h e fl a p s i n t h e b o o t .

Switching off the entry of air
Press button 6 to switch off the entry of air from outside.
Whilst retaining the other settings, this posi-tion allows the driver at any moment to exclude unpleasant smells or smoke/emissions coming from outside.
This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
Entry of air from outside
Press once on button 6 to return to the origi-nal status (Entry of air from outside).
7. Rear demisting - deicing
Press button 7, with the engine running, to start a rapid deicing or demisting of the rear screen and rear view mirrors. The warning lamp comes on.
This mode automatically stops depending on the out-side temperature. It can be interrupted by a further press on button 7 or by stopping the engine.
In the latter case, demisting will resume when the engine is switched on again.Note: The heated rear screen operates independently of the automatic air conditioning.
8. Front demisting - deicing
In some cases, “AUTO ” m o d e m a y n o t b e s u f fi c i e n t t o demist or defrost the windows (e.g. humidity, several passengers, frost).
Press button 8 for rapid clear windows. The warning lamp comes on. This system controls air conditioning, t e m p e r a t u r e a n d a i r fl o w / e n t r y . I t d i s t r i b u t e s v e n t i l a t i o n towards the windscreen and the front windows.
You can manually exit “Demisting” mode. This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
A press on either of the buttons 1a or 1b allows you to return to “AUTO” mode.
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted c o l d a i r , t h e a i r fl o w w i l l i n c r e a s e o n l y g r a d u a l l y t o i t s optimum level.If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comf ort-able, it serves no purpose to modify the temperatur e that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately t o the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Water arising from the condensation in the air con-ditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting. Avoid driving for too long with air condition-ing deactivated.

Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encoun-tered by domestic systems.
The reception of AM and FM sig-nals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and d o e s n o t r e fl e c t o n t h e q u a l i t y o f your radio installation.
In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.
In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from t h e s t a t i o n t r a n s m i t t e r , t h e r e fl e c t -ing of signals off obstacles (moun-tains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
R A D I O S O U R C E
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the mem-ory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual search is via buttons Jor M.
By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sen-sitivity:To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode “LO” (default option).To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode “DX”.
