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 (ambient temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine 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 humidity and
condensation will be removed regard-
less of the exterior climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION 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
h i g h , fi r s t v e n t i l a t e t h e p a s s e n g e r
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 engine 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
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the
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 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 screen is clear, press-
ing control 1 returns the system to
"AUTO" mode.
Press control 7 , with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the door
mirrors. The indica-
tor lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current and in relation
to the ambient temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 7 again or when the engine is
switched off.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
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 differ-
ent 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 door mir-
rors demisting when you consider this
necessary as low current consumption
reduces fuel consumption.
Press control 8 sev-
eral times to set the
air intake mode, the
indicator lamp 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 - defrosting
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
defrost the windows (hu-
midity, several passen-
gers, ice).
Press control 9 to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
a i r fl o w a n d i n t a k e a n d d i s t r i b u t e s t h e
ventilation to the windscreen 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 - defrosting
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current consump-
tion 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 lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to avoid excessive consump-
tion of current and depending on 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 re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.

Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be re-
initialised, see below. Always switch off the program-
m a b l e h e a t i n g w h i l e fi l l i n g w i t h
f u e l t o a v o i d a n y r i s k o f fi r e o r e x -
plosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
i n fl a m m a b l e s u r f a c e ( d r y g r a s s ,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
r i s k o f fi r e .
The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Before use, ensure that the
quantity of fuel remaining is suf-
fi c i e n t . I f t h e f u e l t a n k i s a t t h e r e -
serve, we strongly advise that you
do not programme the heating.
Do not discard the used bat-
teries, take them to an ap-
proved collection point.
Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnect-
ed or the remote control's battery is
replaced, the remote control must
be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4 (OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK" is displayed on the re-
mote control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message
"FAIL" appears. Repeat the operation.
In addition, your programmable
heating can be to pre-heat your
vehicle's passenger compart-
ment. The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
d i s t u r b e d b y t h e fl o w o f a i r f r o m
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.
