Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended that you
have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To preserve the sealing of the air
conditioning compressor, operate
the air conditioning at least once a
month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sun-
light the interior temperature is
excessive, air the passenger com-
partment by opening the windows
for a few moments, then close them
again.
The air conditioning operates by
using power from the engine. This
results in a slight increase in fuel
consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter (active
carbon)
T h e r e i s a fi l t e r f o r e x c l u d i n g o d o u r s
and dust.
T h i s fi l t e r h a s t o b e c h a n g e d i n
accordance with the vehicle's ser-
vicing schedule (see "Maintenance
and Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
A i r v e n t s o n t h e fl o o r u n d e r n e a t h t h e
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n ( u p - d o w n , r i g h t -
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning in the passenger com-
partment uses a number of sensors
(sunshine sensor, ambient tempera-
ture sensor...) that relieve you of the
need to make frequent adjustments
to the displayed temperature.
Take care not to obstruct the sun-
shine sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

progressive lighting of the warning
lamps depicting the fan blades
1 .
B y r e d u c i n g t h e fl o w t o m i n i m u m ,
you deactivate the air conditioning
system (OFF).
To maintain an acceptable level of
comfort in the passenger compart-
ment, you should not leave this
control too long in the OFF position.
2. Adjustment of air distribution
Press button 2 to make the dis-
play run through the different
types of air distribution.
The air distribution chosen
is shown by the lighting of
the corresponding warning
lamps on the display 2 .
3. Mode of adjustment of temperature for the
passenger
Press button 3 to have indepen-
dent passenger control of cabin
air temperature. The warning lamp
goes off.
While the passenger is adjusting tem-
perature, the warning lamp comes on. 4. Air recirculation
This control is for isolating disagree-
able odours or fumes coming from
outside.
Press button 4 to cut off the in-
take of outside air and to acti-
vate recirculation of the air in the
passenger compartment. The
warning lamp comes on.
Avoid the extended use of air re- circulation (risk of deterioration
of air quality and misting).
Press button 4 again to allow the
intake of exterior air. The warning
lamp goes off.
5. Air conditioning
T h e a i r f a n c o n t r o l ( a d j u s t i n g t h e fl o w

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning system oper-
ates with the engine running.
1. Automatic comfort regulation
A press on this button,
c o n fi r m e d b y t h e d i s p l a y o f
the A/C warning lamp and
of AUTO on the screen, pro-
vides automatic control, at the tem-
perature selected, of all the following
5 functions:
- a i r fl o w ,
- passenger compartment tempe- rature, left and right,
- air distribution,
- air conditioning,
- automatic air recirculation. For this facility to operate, it is rec-
ommended that all air vents are kept
open.
Using the
AUTO mode will prevent
the formation of mist inside the
vehicle in cold or humid weather.
When starting from cold, in order to
avoid a rush of cold air, the air fan at-
tains its optimum level progressively. 2. Adjustment of temperature
To display the desired temperature,
press button:
-
- to decrease the temperature,
- + to increase the temperature.
A setting around 21 will provide
an agreeable temperature level.
However, depending on your prefer-
ence, anything between 18 and 24
is quite normal.
For optimum comfort, it is recom-
mended to avoid a difference of set-
tings of more than than 3 between
right and left.
Actual temperatures experienced in
the passenger compartment are de-
pendent 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 tem-
perature displayed in an attempt to
attain your preference more rapidly.
The system operates automatically
to correct the difference in tempera-
ture as soon as possible.
Manual resumption of one or more
functions
It is possible to adjust each of the
functions 3 , 4 , 6 and 10 manually.
The display of the "AUTO" function
will then go off.
Resumption by the driver of the
adjustment of passenger com-
partment temperatures (for the
front and rear passengers)
A long press on the "AUTO" but-
ton cancels all personal settings,
including the passenger's tem-
perature, and returns the system
to automatic operation.
