Deactivating the air conditioning may
result in discomfort (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
The indicator lamps corresponding
to the distribution chosen come on:


- Windscreen and front side win-
dows.

- Front ventilation (central and
side vents and air diffusion grille
if open) and rear ventilation.

- Front and rear footwells.

Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.


- When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually to
prevent an excessive distribu-
tion of cold air.

- When entering the vehicle af-
ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very differ-
ent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.

- The water resulting from the
air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.

- In all seasons, if the weather
is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.

However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.

to set
the air intake mode,
the indicator lamp
comes on.






With Stop & Start, when demist-
ing has been activated, the STOP
mode is not available.

Demisting is switched off automatically

of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 7
again or when the engine is
switched off.
It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.

COMFORT
When starting with the engine
cold, air fl ow will reach its opti-
mum level gradually to prevent an
excessive distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it
has been parked for a fairly long
period, if the interior temperature
is very different from your comfort
setting there is no need to change
the temperature displayed in or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as

conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
