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.

(depending on vehicle)
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)
The air conditioning is operational
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning is being used
(switch it off when it is not required).

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.

yAdjusting the
ventilation speed
Turn control C from 0 to 4. The further
to the right it is positioned, the more air
is blown into the passenger compart -
ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control C to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila -
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Adjusting the air temperatureTurn control F.
To the right: maximum possible tem -
perature.
To the left: minimum possible tempera-
ture.
VHeated rear screen(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, press
button E (the warning light on the in -
strument panel comes on).
This function de-ices/demists the rear
screen and the electric de-icing rear -
view mirrors (depending on the vehi -
cle).
Depending on the vehicle, the function
is stopped:
– automatically after it has been run -
ning for 12 minutes (the indicator
light goes out);
– by pressing button E again (the
warning light goes out).CEF
Before using the rear wiper, check that no object is obstructing the travel of the
blade.
In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid
the risk of the motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).
Regularly clean your rear screen.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air condition -
ing with no automatic mode, switch
off the system when it is not re -
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents open and
the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in
the sun, open the doors for a few
moments to let the hot air escape
before starting the engine. Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance.
This may be caused by the pas-
senger compartment filter car -
tridge becoming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
