Switching off the entry of air
Press button 6 to switch off the entry of air from outside.
Whilst retaining the other settings, this position allows the driver at any moment to exclude unpleas-ant smells or smoke/emissions coming from outside.
This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the pas-senger compartment.
Entry of air from outside
Press once on button 6 to return to the original status (Entry of air from outside).
7. Rear demisting - deicing
Press button 7, with the engine running, to start a rapid deicing or demisting of the rear screen and rear view mirrors. The warning lamp comes on.
This mode automatically stops depending on the outside tempera-ture. It can be interrupted by a fur-ther press on button 7 or by stop-ping the engine.
In some cases, “AUTO” mode may not be suf-fi cient to demist or defrost the windows (e.g. humidity, several passengers, frost).
Press button 8 for rapid clear win-dows. The warning lamp comes on. This system controls air con-ditioning, temperature and air fl ow/entry. It distributes ventilation towards the windscreen and the front windows.
You can manually exit “Demisting” mode. This mode should be can-celled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the pas-senger compartment.
A press on either of the buttons 1aor 1b allows you to return to “AUTO” mode.
8. Front demisting - deicing
Remarks:
When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify the tem-perature that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately to the desired comfort level. The sys-tem automatically uses all of its power to compensate the tem-perature gap as quickly as pos-sible.
Water arising from the conden-sation in the air conditioning drains out through a hole pro-vided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form under-neath the vehicle when station-ary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air condition-ing is useful in removing humid-ity and misting. Avoid driving for too long with air conditioning deactivated.

Always switch off the additional heating when filling up with fuel, to prevent any risk of fi re or explosion.
To avoid any risk of intoxica-tion or asphyxiation, the addi-tional heating 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 infl ammable materials (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves or paper) as this could present a fi re risk.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel tank. Before use, ensure that the remaining fuel level is suffi cient. If you are using the reserve fuel tank, we strongly advise you not to use the pro-grammable heating system.
