Digital air conditioning
The air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort"
programme
Press the "AU TO "
button. The
"AU TO "
symbol is displayed.
We recommend that you use
this mode. It provides optimised
automatic control of all of the following
functions: passenger compar tment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
intake, in accordance with the comfort value
that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed. For your comfor t, when the engine is
switched off, the settings are retained
until the engine is switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of
cold air when the engine is cold, the air
flow will only reach its optimum level
gradually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. On entering the vehicle, if the interior
is very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfor t.
The system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as quickly
as possible.
Press the "
"
and "
"
buttons to
change this value. A setting around
the value 21
enables optimum
comfor t to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
3. Automatic "visibility"
programme
The automatic comfor t programme
may not be sufficient for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility
programme. The button 3
indicator lamp
comes on.
The system automatically controls the air
conditioning and the flow of air and provides
optimum air distribution to the windscreen and
side windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5
.
To exit this programme, press button 3
again or
"AU TO "
, the indicator lamp on the button goes
off and "AU TO "
is displayed.
With Stop & Star t, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser

star ting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
star ting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you
are informed by lighting of this
warning lamp, an audible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine
restarts automatically - START mode - as soon as you want to move off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system reduces fuel consumption and exhaust emissions as well as offering the comfort of silence when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
For your comfort when parking, STOP
mode is not available for a few seconds
after coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as
braking, power steering, for example.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
- with a manual gearbox
, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), when you put the gear
lever into neutral, and you release the
clutch pedal,
A time counter calculates the sum
of the periods in STOP mode
during a journey. It rests itself
to zero every time the ignition is
switched on with the key. STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10 km/h) since the last engine star t using
the key,
- the engine is needed to maintain a
comfor table temperature in the passenger
compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
Special cases: STOP mode
