Control via the manual controls
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-
b u t i o n o f t h e a i r fl o w . 4. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will only oper-
ate when the engine is running. The
a i r b l o w e r c o n t r o l ( a i r fl o w a d j u s t -
ment) must be active to obtain air
conditioning.

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. T h e a i r fl o w l e v e l i s i n d i c a t e d b y t h e

temperature on the driver's side
and control 2b to change the
temperature on the passenger's
side: to the right to increase the
temperature or to the left to re-
duce it.
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
o n t h e c h o i c e o f c o n fi g u r a t i o n v a l i -
dated 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
temperature displayed in order to
quickly obtain 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.
2a-2b. Temperature adjustment Control via the manual
controls
Press one of the controls, with
the exception of those which
regulate the temperature 2a and
2b . The indicator lights A on the

It is possible to adjust one or more
functions manually while leaving the
other functions in automatic mode.
Switching to manual mode may re-
sult in discomfort (temperature, hu-
midity, odour, condensation) and is
not advantageous to comfort.

lights A come on. 3a-3b. Air distribution adjustment

To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
t h a t a n a d e q u a t e fl o w o f a i r i s m a i n -
tained.
6. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will
only operate when the
engine is running. The air
b l o w e r c o n t r o l ( a i r fl o w a d -
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.
