AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING (MONO ZONE)
This is the normal sys-
tem operating mode.
In accordance with the
level of comfort cho-
sen, pressing this con-
trol, confi rmed by the
switching on of indicator light A , per-
mits automatic and simultaneous con-
trol of all of the following functions:
- Air fl ow.
- Temperature in the passenger compartment.
- Air distribution.
- Air intake.
- Air conditioning.
1. Automatic operation
It is advisable to leave all of the
vents open.
Simply pressing one of the con-
trols, with the exception of control

2 , switches the system to manual
mode.
Indicator light A switches off. 2. Temperature adjustment
Turn control 2 to change
the temperature:
- Clockwise to in- crease the temper-
ature.
- Anticlockwise to reduce the tem- perature.
The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort
and not to a temperature in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
the choice of confi guration validated
on the display.
A setting around the value 21 usually
makes it possible to obtain optimum
comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18
and 24 is usual.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder
(or warmer) than is comfortable.
There is no need to change the tem-
perature displayed in order to obtain
rapidly the level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

Mono zone: this is the overall regu-
lation of the temperature, distribu-
tion and fl ow of air in the passenger
compartment.
The symbols and messages associat-
ed with the automatic air conditioning
controls appear on the multifunction
display.

It is possible to adjust one or more
functions manually, while leaving the
other functions in automatic mode.

 Press one of the controls, with
the exception of that which regu-
lates the temperature 2 . Indicator
light A switches off.
Switching to manual mode may re-
sult in discomfort (temperature, hu-
midity, odour, condensation) and is
not advantageous to comfort.
To return to automatic mode, press
the "AUTO" control.
3. Air distribution adjustment
 Press the controls 3
to change the distri-
bution of the air fl ow. 4. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will only oper-
ate when the engine is running. The
air blower control (air fl ow adjust-
ment) must be active to obtain air
conditioning.

 Turn control 5 to the
left until the fl ow of
air stops.

 Press control 4 .
Indicator light B
comes on.
5. Air fl ow adjustment
 Turn control 5 to the
right to increase the
air fl ow or to the left
to reduce it.
6. Front demisting - de-icing
In certain cases, the

"AUTO" mode may not
be suffi cient to demist or
de-ice the windows (hu-
midity, several passen-
gers, ice).

 Press control 6 to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator light
comes on.
The
"OFF" symbol is displayed on
the multifunction display.
This action switches off the display
and the indicator lights.
It deactivates all of the system's
functions, with the exception of the
rear screen demisting.
The temperature-related comfort is
no longer controlled (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
Avoid driving for too long with the air
conditioning off.
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed.
Deactivating the air conditioning may
result in discomfort (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
The indicator lights corresponding to
the distribution chosen come on:
- Windscreen and front side win- dows.
- Front ventilation (central and side vents and air diffusion grille
if open) and rear ventilation.
- Front and rear footwells.
Simultaneous displaying of the dis-
tribution of air to the windscreen and
side windows and of front and rear
ventilation is not possible. The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive lighting of the blocks of
the bar graph on the control panel
display
9 .
To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate fl ow of air is main-
tained.
To reactivate the air conditioning:

 Press control 1 .

It controls the temperature, air fl ow
and intake and distributes the ven-
tilation to the windscreen and front
side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
"Demisting" mode. It must be can-
celled to permit renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment and
demisting.
Once the inconvenience has been
eliminated, pressing control 1 re-
turns the system to "AUTO" mode.

 Press control 7 , with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the mir-
rors. The indicator
light comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current and in relation
to the exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 7 again or when the engine is
switched off.
7. Rear demisting - de-icing
The heated rear screen operates in-
dependently of the air conditioning
system.
8. Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours. - When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its op-
timum level gradually to pre-
vent an excessive distribution
of cold air.
- When entering the vehicle af- ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very diffe-
rent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.
- The water resulting from the air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.
- In all seasons, if the weather is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.
However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and exte-
rior mirrors demisting when you con-
sider this necessary as low current
consumption reduces fuel consump-
tion.

 Press control 8 se-
veral times to set the
air intake mode, the
indicator light comes
on.

It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.

 Press the control:
- to increase the air fl ow,
- to reduce the air fl ow.
The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive lighting of the fan blade
indicator lights.

Reducing the fl ow to minimum
switches the air conditioning
OFF.
To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate fl ow of air is main-
tained.
6. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will
only operate when the
engine is running. The air
blower control (air fl ow ad-
justment) must be active in
order to obtain air conditioning.

 Press control 6 . The indicator
light comes on.
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. 7. Air recirculation - intake of
exterior air
This function enables you
to isolate the passenger
compartment from exte-
rior fumes and odours.

Intake of air in automatic
anti-pollution mode
This is activated by de-
fault in automatic comfort
regulation mode.
The automatic mode has an air qual-
ity sensor. It analyses the air and
isolates the passenger compart-
ment from the outside if it detects
the presence of pollutants. In this
case, it automatically activates the
recirculation of the passenger com-
partment air.
This function does not detect un-
pleasant odours and therefore does
not prevent them from entering the
passenger compartment. It is not
active when the exterior tempera-
ture is below +5 °C to avoid the risk
of condensation forming inside the
vehicle.
Closing the air intake

 Press control 7 to
close the exterior air
intake.
It must be cancelled as soon as pos-
sible to permit renewal of the air in
the passenger compartment and de-
misting.

Intake of exterior air

 Press control 7 once
to open the exterior air
intake.
While retaining the other settings,
this position allows the driver to iso-
late himself from unpleasant exterior
odours and fumes at any time.
