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
possible.
The water resulting from the air
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.
9. Front demisting - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist
or defrost the windows
(humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice).


)
Press control 9
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
air fl ow and intake and distributes
the ventilation to the windscreen
and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
the "Demisting" mode. It must be
cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a
and
1b
returns the system to the "AUTO"

mode.
8. Rear demisting - defrosting
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption. The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.


)
Press control 8
, with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to avoid excessive consump-
tion of current and depending on the
exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 8
again or when the engine is
switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.






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

PROGRAMMABLE HEATING

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.

COMFORT

Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6 V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be
reinitialised, see below.
Always switch off the program-
mable heating while fi lling with
fuel to avoid any risk of fi re or
explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
infl ammable surface (dry grass,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
risk of fi re.

The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is suffi cient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strong-
ly advise that you do not programme
the heating.


Do not discard the used
batteries, take them to an
approved collection point.

Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected
or the remote control's battery is re-
placed, the remote control must be
reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK"
is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message
"FAIL"
appears. Repeat the operation.

In addition, your programmable
heating can be used to pre-heat
your vehicle's passenger com-
partment.
The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
disturbed by the fl ow of air from
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.
