Operation
N With the gear lever 2 in position P,
switch on the ignition.
To move out of position P, you must de-
press the brake pedal before pressing
the unlocking button 1.
With the foot on the brake pedal (warn-
ing light
c on display A goes out),
move the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.

Driving in automatic mode
Select position D. In most traffic con -
ditions, you will not have to touch the
gear selector lever again: the gears will
change automatically at the right time
and at the most suitable engine speed
because the automatic system takes
into account the vehicle load and road
contour and adjusts itself to the particu-
lar driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

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).

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.

depending on the climate conditions.
Press button 4 to switch the air condi -

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or de -
creasing the values displayed does
not mean that the temperature is
reached more quickly. Whatever the
indicated temperature may be, the
system optimises the increase or
decrease in temperature (the venti-
lation system does not start instantly
at maximum speed: it gradually in -
creases until the engine tempera -
ture is sufficient, which may take
from a few seconds to several min-
utes).
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.
