Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
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 pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows 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 mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.

Air circulation

front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n ( u p - d o w n , r i g h t -
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

Automatic mode
Changing to automatic
mode

the selector to A .
Manual mode
Changing to manual
mode
Manual mode activates when you
move the selector to M .
Pull the lever " + " to change up a
gear.
Pull the lever " - " to change down
a gear.
When the engine is running,
before accelerating to move
the vehicle, make sure that
the position engaged on the
selector grille or in the instrument
panel is either: R , A or M
Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine running in R , A or M . Operation in automatic mode
Move the selector to
position A . The warning
lamp A lights up in the
instrument panel to con-
fi r m t h e s e l e c t i o n .
The gearbox then functions in auto-
matic mode, without any interven-
tion on your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following param-
eters:
- driving style,
- r o a d p r o fi l e ,
- optimum fuel consumption. By pulling either of the levers "
+ " or
" - ", you can exercise temporary con-
trol over the changing of gears.
The request to change gear will be
taken into account. You will still be
in automatic mode. The warning
lamp A remains lit up in the instru-
ment panel.
This function enables you to antici-
pate certain situations such as the
approach of a bend or the need to
overtake another vehicle.
Cancellation of automatic
mode
The change from position A (driv-
ing in automatic mode) to position
M (driving in manual mode) or vice
versa can be made at any time. The
warning lamp A disappears in the in-
strument panel.
