VENTILATION
A. Sunshine sensor.
B. Soft air diffusion grille.
The soft air diffusion grille locat- ed in the centre of the dashboard
provides optimum distribution of
the air for the front seats.
This system eliminates unpleas- ant air currents while maintain-
ing an optimum temperature in
the passenger compartment.
To open the soft air diffusion grille, turn the wheel upwards.
To close the soft air diffusion grille, turn the wheel fully downwards.
In very hot weather, to obtain more satisfactory central and
side ventilation, it is advisable to
close the diffused air grille.
C. C o o l e d g l o v e b o x .
D. Rear passenger vents.

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
s e n s o r s ( e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e , s u n -
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
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, optimum
comfort will be maintained and humid-
ity and condensation will be removed
r e g a r d l e s s o f t h e e x t e r i o r c l i m a t i c c o n -
ditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
t h e e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e i f t h e a i r
conditioning is on.
VENTILATION, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. If the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long period and the in-
terior temperature is very high, venti-
late the passenger compartment with
the windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
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 engine
power during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle in-
creases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
o u s u s e ( e . g . t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m
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
C h e c k t h a t t h e e x t e r i o r g r i l l e f o r t h e
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet. Air circulation
