Air conditioning: information and advice on use.
AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila -
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again. If the conden -
sation does not clear, use the FAST
programme.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Recommendations for reducing
consumption and therefore helping
to preserve the environment:
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.
maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre -
quency.
operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap -
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be -
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle.
After prolonged use of the air condi -
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.

These systems operate with the igni -
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passengers.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.

detects resistance when closing (e.g.
fingers, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.

up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height: the rear windows do not

This mode works in addition to the
operation of the electric windows de -

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op -
eration of the electric win -
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4. The indicator light
integrated in the switch lights up to
confirm that the locks have been ac-
tivated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
key inside and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a
short while. They may pose a risk
to themselves or to others by start-
ing the engine, activating equipment
such as the electric windows or by
locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction
of travel of the window as soon as
possible by pressing the relevant
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
three seconds then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your approved
Dealer.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
usage precautions
Clean the seal every three months with
products selected by our Technical
Department.
