Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
t i o n s : a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
sensors (exterior temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the value displayed.
Please do not block the sunshine
sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment cannot be lower than
the exterior temperature if the air
conditioning is not on.
VENTILATION, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very
high, ventilate the passenger com-
partment with the windows open for
a few minutes, then close the win-
dows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses the en-
gine power during its operation. As a
result, the fuel consumption of the
vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air condi-
tioning permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore increases the
towing capacity.
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.
When washing the vehicle using a high
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the
air inlet. Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
t h e fl a p s i n t h e b o o t .
T h e f r o n t a n d r e a r v e n t s a r e fi t t e d
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n . W e r e c o m m e n d
that you leave all of the vents open.

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
c o l d , t h e fl o w w i l l r e a c h i t s o p -
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.

mum level gradually to prevent an
excessive distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it
has been parked for a fairly long
period, if the interior temperature
is very different from your comfort
setting there is no need to change
the temperature displayed in or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as
possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
9. Front demisting - de-icing
In certain cases, the
"AUTO" mode may not
b e s u f fi c i e n t t o d e m i s t o r
de-ice the windows (hu-
midity, several passen-
gers, ice).
Press control 9 to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator light
comes on.
This system controls the tempera-
t u r e , a i r fl o w a n d i n t a k e a n d d i s -
tributes the ventilation to the wind-
screen and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
the "Demisting" mode. It must be
cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a and
1b returns the system to the "AUTO"
mode.
8. Rear demisting - de-icing
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption. The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.
Press control 8 , with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator light comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to avoid an excessive con-
sumption of current and in relation
to the exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 8 again or when the engine is
switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting
resumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.

Precautions in use:
The alarm volumetric movement
sensor may be disturbed by the air-
fl o w f r o m t h e p r o g r a m m a b l e h e a t i n g
while in operation.
To avoid a false alarm while using the
programmable heating, it is recom-
mended to deactivate the volumetric
protection. Always switch off the program-
mable heating while refuelling in
o r d e r t o a v o i d t h e r i s k o f fi r e o r
explosion.
To avoid any risk of intoxication or
asphyxiation, the additional heat-
ing must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed area
such as a garage or workshop not
equipped with a system for the
extraction of exhaust gases.
Do not park the vehicle over in-
fl a m m a b l e m a t e r i a l s ( e . g . d r y
grass, dead leaves or paper) as
t h i s c o u l d p r e s e n t a fi r e r i s k .
The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle’s
fuel tank. Before use, ensure that
t h e r e m a i n i n g f u e l l e v e l i s s u f fi -
cient. If you are using the reserve
fuel tank, we strongly advise you
not to use the programmable
heating system.
