whether the engine oil level is cor-
rect or not.
This information is indicated for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on, after the service infor-

The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and
the engine has been off for more
than 30 minutes.

Oil level correct

Oil level incorrect
This is indicated by the message

If the low oil level is confi rmed by a
check using the dipstick, it is essen-
tial that the level is topped up to pre-
vent damage to the engine.

COMFORT

Air conditioning

We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
tions: air fl ow, temperature in the
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.


)
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A
.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING
RECOMMENDATIONS In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very
high, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment with the windows
open for a few minutes, then close
the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine pow-
er during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle
increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air con-
ditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.


Air inlet

Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet.


Air circulation

Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.


Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle's servicing schedule
(see the vehicle's servicing booklet).

Screen

- Anticlockwise to reduce the tem-
perature.
The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort
and not to a temperature in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
the screen confi guration.
A setting around the value 21
usually
provides optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is normal.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There
is no need to change the tempera-
ture displayed to obtain rapidly the
level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

PROGRAMMABLE HEATING

The programmable heating operates
independently of the engine.
When the engine is off, it pre-heats
the coolant circuit in order to benefi t
from an optimum engine operating
temperature from the time the en-
gine is switched on.
The programmable heating system
is switched on using the long range
remote control. Activation can be im-
mediate or deferred by means of a
programming function.

Programming remote control

The heating system programming
remote control consists of the fol-
lowing buttons and displays:


1.
Scrolling functions menu but-
tons.

2.
Function indicators: clock, tem-
perature, operating time, pro-
