Adjusting automatic mode
The system normally operates in auto-
matic mode but you can alter the stand-
ard settings used by the system (air
distribution, etc.). These options are
explained on the following pages.

Automatic mode is the recom -
mended mode of use
The automatic climate control
system guarantees comfort in the
passenger compartment and good
visibility (except in the event of ex -
treme conditions), while optimising
consumption.
The types of adjustments that can
be made are described in the follow -
ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon
as possible.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas -
ing or decreasing the value dis -
played will not allow the com -
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

In automatic mode, depending on
the outside air conditions, the ven -
tilation may not start immediately at
maximum power but will increase
progressively until the engine tem -
perature is warm enough to heat the
passenger compartment air. This
may take from a few seconds to
several minutes.
v arying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Automatic mode is switched off by
pressing buttons 8 and 10.
These buttons allow you to increase or
decrease ventilation speed.
switching air conditioning on

In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
button 2 : the AUTO warning light on

Prolonged use of the air recirculation
mode may cause the windows to mist
up or lead to odours, as the air is not
renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air or automatic
recirculation) as soon as air recircula -
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 12.Air recirculation
Pressing button 12 activates air recir -
culation (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external at-
mosphere to be cut off (when driving in
polluted areas, etc.).

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– r eduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged.
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the envi-
ronment
Drive with the air vents on 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.
Air COnDitiOninG: information and advice on use
note
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
frequency.
