Hill descent control
This function enables the vehicle speed
to be limited to approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h), without depressing the brake
pedal (when driving down a steep hill).
Activating/deactivating the system
– Activating: press button 1 . The
message “ HDC on” appears on the
instrument panel.
– Deactivating: press button 1 again:
the message “ HDC off” appears on
the instrument panel.
Starting the system
With the vehicle travelling downhill at
less than 15 mph (25 km/h) in first or re-
verse gear (position D or R for vehicles
with an automatic transmission), press
switch 2 to switch to “4WD Lock” mode.
Once a sufficient gradient is detected,
the
• indicator light appears on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the
“HDC operational ” message.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
24 mph (40 km/h), the transmission
switches automatically to “AUTO” mode
(the
• indicator light goes out).
The system can be reactivated by
pressing “4WD Lock” when the vehicle
speed drops below 24 mph (40 km/h).

With the engine cold, the
automatic hill descent con -
trol function can be de -
activated temporarily (the
• warning light goes out).
When the engine temperature rises,
the warning light comes on again
and the function is available.
The automatic hill descent control
system may be deactivated tempo-
rarily if there is a risk of the braking
system overheating.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.
This system does not operate when
the gear lever is in neutral (position
N or P for vehicles with an auto -
matic transmission), or if the vehicle
is travelling on flat ground.
2
The hill descent control system is de -
activated as soon as you depress the
brake pedal or the accelerator pedal,
and reactivated as soon as you release
it.

– If a vehicle with an automatic
gearbox breaks down , refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
Special note for vehicles equipped
with continuously variable

speeds, the gearbox may temporarily
limit the maximum engine speed. This
is normal. when setting off, if the lever is locked
in position

Air recirculation mode
Press the button B : the indicator light
on the button comes on.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Recirculation allows:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– the passenger compartment to be
brought to the desired temperature
more quickly.ABcDE
F
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condi -
tioning: information and advice on
use”.
Prolonged use of air recirculation
can lead to condensation form -
ing on the side windows and wind -
screen, and discomfort due to the
use of non-renewed air in the pas -
senger compartment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is
no longer required, by pressing the
button B again.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Normal use
Turn control C to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila -
tion and position 4 for maximum ven -
tilation. Position 0
In this case:
–
the air conditioning stops automati -
cally even if button F is activated (the
indicator light on the button remains
lit).
– the ventilation speed is zero.
– you will, however, feel a slight flow of
air when the vehicle is moving.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button F.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– quickly eliminating humidity.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold.
If it does, increase the temperature
(turn control A clockwise).

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use
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 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 Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.
operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction 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.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind -
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
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.
