Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver: - direct arrival in the passenger compar tment (air intake), - passage through a heating circuit (heating), - passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning). The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the passenger compar tment combining several air vents. The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre console. Depending on the model, the functions offered are: - the level of comfor t required, - air flow, - air distribution, - demisting-defrosting, - manual or digital air conditioning controls.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents. 2. Front side window demisting-defrosting vents. 3. Side adjustable air vents. 4. Central adjustable air vents. 5. Air outlets to the front footwells. 6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

Press this button to switch off the air conditioning. Stopping the air conditioning may cause some problems (humidity, misting). Automatic operation of the air conditioning is resumed when the button is pressed again. The symbol "A /C" is displayed.
5. Air intake/Air recirculation
Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The air recirculation symbol 5 is displayed.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compar tment to be isolated from exterior odours and smoke. Press this button again or press the "AUTO"button to resume automatic management of the intake of air. The air recirculation symbol 5goes off.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of interior air (risk of condensation or deterioration of the air quality).
Switching to manual mode may not be suitable (temperature, humidity, odour, condensation) and does not provide optimum comfor t.

The control button is located on the heating or air conditioning system control panel.
S w i t c h i n g o n
The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only operate when the engine is running. Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and (depending on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the button comes on.
S w i t c h i n g o f f
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current. It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The indicator lamp associated with the button switches off. Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as appropriate as lower current consumption results in reduced fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off before the demisting/defrosting is switched off automatically, demisting/defrosting will resume next time the engine is switched on.
