Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent u n w a n t e d c o l d a i r , t h e a i r fl o w w i l l i n c r e a s e o n l y 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 temperature that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately to the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air conditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting.You are advised to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis. See "Maintenance and Warranty Guide".
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside temperatures are high, the air conditioning may be temporarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.

6. REAR DEMISTING - DEICING
Press button 6, 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 stops automatically as a function of the out-side temperature. It can be paused by pressing again on button 6 or by stopping the engine.
In the latter case, demisting will resume when the engine is switched on again.Note: The heated rear screen operates independently of the automatic air conditioning.
7. AIR RECIRCULATION – ENTRY OF AIR FROM OUTSIDE
Press repeatedly on button 7 to select the air entry mode. The corresponding warning lamp lights up:Air intake in automatic pollution control mode (on by default, with automatic comfort regulation).
The automatic mode makes use of an air quality sen-sor. It analyses the air and isolates the cabin from the exterior if the presence of pollutants is detected. In this case it automatically activates recirculation of the cabin air.
Please note: this function does not detect and there-fore protect the cabin from unpleasant odours. It is not active when the ambient temperature is below + 5 °C so as to avoid the risk of misting the vehicle’s windows.
Closing the exterior air intake
Press button 7 to close the intake of air from the exterior.

Glass sun roof
The sun roof is operated by the electrical control A.
A n a c t i o n t o t h e fi r s t n o t c h o f t h e control starts a movement which stops as soon as you release the control.
An action to the second notch of the control opens or closes the sun roof fully. A further action stops the movement.
ANTI-PINCH
An anti-pinch device is present to stop the sun roof from sliding shut. If it meets an obstacle it slides in the opposite direction.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function.
To do that, move the control A to the second notch to make the sun roof open fully, then keep the control A pressed for at least 1 seconds.
Warning: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.
Your vehicle's sun roof has a manually-operated blind.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a Short time.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof clos ing, you must reverse the roof movement.
To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When the driver is operating the sun roof, he or she must always make sure that the passengers are not preven ting it from closing properly.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the sun roof control correctly.
PAY ESPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE SUN ROOF.
