Automatic mode
Press the automatic mode button 3 .
The indicator light on the button comes
on.
The automatic climate control system
ensures, in most cases, a comfortable
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, while maintaining good visibility
and optimising fuel consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use. To reach and keep the chosen comfort
level and to maintain good visibility, the
system controls:
–
ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– air temperature.
o nly the temperatures and the indi -
cator light on the button 3 are lit up.
In automatic mode (with the indi -
cator light lit up on button 3 ), the
system automatically controls all the
functions.
When you modify certain functions,
the indicator light on button 3 goes
out. Only the modified function stops
being controlled by the system.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five possible combinations
for air distribution and these can be se-
lected by pressing buttons 12.
The indicator lights on the buttons show
which mode has been selected.
õ All the air flow is directed to the
demisting vents for the wind -
screen and the side windows.
÷All the air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the dashboard
vents.
This setting maintains the optimum
temperature level in cold weather.
FThe air flow is mainly directed
to the dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the dashboard vents.
This setting maintains the optimum
temperature level in warm weather.
JThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
If manual mode is used for air distri-
bution, the operating indicator light
on button 3 goes out (automatic
mode). Only the air distribution func-
tion is no longer automatically con-
trolled by the system.
Press button 3 to return to auto -
matic mode.

Setting the air recirculation
mode
Pressing button 11 activates air recircu-
lation mode (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 passenger
compartment to be isolated from the
outside air (when driving in polluted
areas, etc.). Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
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 11.
Flow of air from rear air
vents.
(depending on vehicle)
Repeatedly pressing buttons 13 or 17
enables the ventilation speed in the
rear seats to be modified, according to
three different settings:
– slow speed (indicator lights 14
and 18 on);
– fast speed (indicator lights 15 and 16
on);
– park.

Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. Level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “
MIn” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website. t
opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera -
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

ensure that the wiper blades are se-
cured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing.

We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur -
er’s accessory outlets.
y ou should
– Observe the vehicle stopping dis -
tances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
– Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been
damaged, to prevent corrosion
spreading.
– Remember to visit the body shop
periodically if your vehicle has an
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Service Booklet.
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway). –
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by our Technical
Department (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to jet-rinse off:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint
that rapidly discolours paint -
work and may even cause the
paint to peel off;
Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol -
ishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which forms
damp patches.
