AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
– If the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain -
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather , start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
– Vehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel -
spin when accelerating.Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear -
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess 7 and the
unlocking button 2 simultaneously.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
An impact to the under -
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik -
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor -
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved Dealer.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Controls(depending on vehicle)
A Air distribution.
B Switching the air conditioning on
and off.
C Ventilation speed adjustment.
D Switching passenger compartment
isolation mode/air recirculation
mode on.
E Rear screen de-icing/demisting.
F Air temperature adjuster.
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condition -
ing: information and advice on use”.Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control A to position the pointer
opposite the marked positions.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
FThe air flow is directed towards
the footwells and the dash -
board vents. Close the dashboard vents to direct all
the air to the foot wells.
iThe air flow is distributed be
-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demister outlets, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
WFor more efficient demist -
ing, close the vents in the
dashboard and ensure that you are
set to external air (control D to the
right).
All the air flow is then directed to the
windscreen demisting vents and the
front side windows.
For maximum efficiency, set control C
to 4.
Using the air conditioning increases the
speed of demisting.
Recommended demisting option :
Turn controls A, C and D to the
W
position.
This is the quickest option for de-icing
and demisting the side windows and
the windscreen.

Button B starts or stops the air condi -
tioning system.
The system cannot be switched on if
control C is set to 0.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lower the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminate condensation more quickly. Note: the air conditioning may be used
in all conditions but does not operate
when the external temperature is low.
–
Button B not activated (indicator
light off)
The air conditioning is not operating.
The settings are the same as a vehi-
cle without air conditioning.
– Button B activated (indicator light
on)

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (3/4)
Switching passenger
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on
Push control D to the left.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle. Air recirculation is used to:
–
isolate the passenger compartment
from the external atmosphere (eg.:
driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– bring the passenger compartment to
the desired temperature more effec-
tively.
To return to the external air position,
push control D to the right.
Prolonged use of this position
can lead to condensation forming
on the side windows and wind -
screen and problems due to the
use of non-renewed air in the
passenger compartment.
It is therefore advisable to return to
normal operation (external air) by
moving control D to the right once
you are out of the polluted area.
