If this comes on, a door or the
bonnet is not closed correctly,
check!
Diesel pre-heating warning light If the temperature is high
enough, the warning light comes
on for less than one second, you
can start without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning light to
switch off then operate the starter (Starting
position) until the engine starts. Good practice when stopping
Minimise engine and gearbox wear

Ventilation
WITH MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
If your vehicle is fitted with these controls,
they are located on the control panel of the
fascia centre console. Air distribution
The air supply distribution is directed by the
control turned towards:
the side vents and the central
vents,
the side vents, the central vents
and the footwells,
the footwells,
the windscreen and the footwells,
Air flow
The air conditioning does not operate if the
air flow is set to 0. the windscreen.
Air conditioning A/C
If fitted on your vehicle, the air conditioning
can only operate with the engine running.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the diode is lit. Pressing the
button again switches the function
off and the diode is switched off. Temperature adjustment
Control positioned:
- in the red zone, triggers heating of the interior ambient
air.
- in the blue zone, triggers cool
air,
The air distribution can be
modulated by placing the control
in the intermediate positions,

ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT

Intake of exterior air Recommended settings
For optimum operation of the manual system, the se ttings below are recommended:
The diode on the button is off.
This is the preferred operating
position.
Recirculation of interior air The diode on the button is lit.
Recirculation temporarily prevents
exterior odours and smoke
from entering the passenger
compartment.
Used with the air conditioning switched on
and setting of the force of blown air (from
1 to 4), recirculation enables you to obtain
the required ambient air comfort level more
quickly with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and avoid misting.
This operating mode is preferable. If I require...

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE ADJUSTMENTS
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to
exceed the value 15 by turning until LO is
displayed or the value 27 by turning until HI
is displayed.
For optimum comfort, the difference between
the value displayed for the driver and for the
passenger should not be greater than 3.
If your vehicle is fitted with this control
panel, it is located on the centre console.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is no
advantage in changing the value displayed
in order to quickly reach the level of comfort
required. The system will use its maximum
performance to reach the comfort value set.
