Electrical control
From the driver’s seat position, the controls siutated on the door enable the vehicle’s electric win-dows to be actioned.
Note : The windows can also be operated for a short time after the ignition has been switched off (in-cluding after the front doors have been opened).
Sequential control
An action to the fi rst notch on the control starts a window movement which stops when the control is released. A press for about one second on the control will close or open the window fully, a further press will stop the movement.
PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS.
Always remove the key from the ignition when leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
When the driver is actioning the controls for the passenger win dows, he must make sure that no-one is obstructing the windows from lo sing properly.
The driver should ensure that the passengers use the windows cor-rectly.
If any person should be at risk of becoming trapped by the operation of the windows, you must reverse the movement of the glass. For t hat, reverse the position of the control concerned.
This is for deactivating operation of the electric windows and opening of the rear doors from the rear seat positions. It is activated by a press on the control A located on the window control panel or by an action on the locks of the rear doors. The warning lamp in the instrument panel comes on temporarily. Each time you switch on the ignition, the warning lamp lights up for a short time.
It is still possible to open the doors from the outside and to operate the rear windows from the front seat positions.
Anti-pinch
An anti-pinch device will stop the glass from rising. If it meet s an obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or following a malfunction, you have to re-initialise theanti-pinch function for each window :
- Use the control to open the window fully, then attempt to close it. It will rise only a few centimetres.
- Pull again on the control until the window closes fully. Once the window is closed, sustain the press on the control for one second.
Warning : During this operation, the anti-pinch protection is inoperat ive.

2 - Adjustment of temperature
The system can regulate temperature on an indepen-dent basis for the left hand side and right hand side as well as for the rear of the passenger compartment. Front and rear passengers can thus adjust their own temperatures.
To display the desired temperature, press button :
- – to decrease the temperature,
- + to increase the temperature.
An adjustment around 21 will provide an agreeable temperature level. However, depending on your prefe-rence, anything between 18 and 24 is quite normal.
For optimum comfort, it is recommended to avoid an adjustment difference greater than 3 between right and left.
Note : Actual temperatures experienced in the passenger compartment are dependent on external factors and for this reason might not be identical to those displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside temperature may be much colder (or hotter) than would be comfortable. It serves no purpose to alter the temperature displayed in an attempt to attain your preference more rapidly. The system automatically does all in its power to make up the difference in temperature as soon as possible.
