As the vehicle approaches the obstacle, the sound signal becomes more and more urgent and the shaded areas are displayed closer and closer to the vehicle.
Proximity sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of your vehi-cle.
When manœuvring in either forward or reverse gear, at a low speed less than approx. 10 km / h (6 mph), they inform you of the presence of any obstacle that is within their zone of detection by: A sound signal emitted by the front or rear loudspeakers.ADisplay of the outline of your vehicle with shading corresponding t o the area where an obstacle is detected.
As the vehicle approaches the obstacle, the sound signal tells you the posi-tion of the obstacle according to whether the sound is coming from the front LH or RH or the rear LH or RH loudspeakers.Note: The sound volume of your audio equipment reduces automatically when a signal is being emitted.

Symbols and messages relating to the automatic air conditioning controls will display on the multifunction screen.
2. TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the temperature, press button 2a for the driv-er's side and button 2b for the passenger's side.
An adjustment around 21 will give you the optimum comfort level. However, depending on your preferences anywhere between 18 and 24 is quite usual.
Operating the air conditioning system on “AUTO” guar-antees good ventilation inside the cabin.Note: There may be a discrepancy between the actual c a b i n t e m p e r a t u r e a n d t h e fi g u r e d i s p l a y e d .
This is the normal operating mode for the system. Depending on the temperature chosen, a press on this b u t t o n , c o n fi r m e d b y t h e l i g h t i n g o f t h e w a r n i n g l a m p , will automatically and simultaneously bring all the fol-lowing functions into play:Air fl o w .Air

If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop Ifand the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify the tem-perature that is displayed as an attempt to go imme-diately to the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air con-aterditioning 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 Whateverair conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting.You are advised to have the air conditioning sys-tem checked on a regular basis. See “Maintenance Guide”.
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside tem-Ifperatures are high, the air conditioning may be tem-porarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.

Your vehicle has active suspension with variable damping which is electronically controlled. This automatically regu-lates the ground clearance according to the vehicle speed and the road surface conditions.
Limits on access to the posi-tions
Maximum height:
I m p o s s i b l e i f s p e e d > 1 0 k m / h ( 6 m p h ) .
Intermediate position:
I m p o s s i b l e i f s p e e d > 4 0 k m / h ( 2 4 m p h ) .
Normal road position: Always permitted.
Minimum height:
I m p o s s i b l e i f s p e e d > 1 0 k m / h ( 6 m p h ) .Note: If the speed authorised for a particular position is exceeded, the vehicle reverts automatically to the normal road position.
Signalling of a requested position not authorised

The display indicates for a short time, via a message or by hatching on the requested position, that the adjustment is impossible.
The vehicle remains in the position that is authorised and the display c o n fi r m s t h i s p o s i t i o n .
Automatic variation of ground clearanceIf your speed Ifexceeds110 km / h (68 mph), on a good road, the ground clearance is lowered.
The vehicle reverts to the normal road position if the road deteri-orates or if your speed comes b e l o w 9 0 k m / h ( 5 6 m p h ) .When the vehicle is stationary the ground clearance is low-ered to the parking position.
