Air conditioning controls
Button E switches the air conditioning
on or off.
The system cannot be switched on if
control C is set to 0.
Using the air conditioning system ena-
bles you to:
– lower the internal passenger com -
partment temperature, especially in
hot weather, when driving in traffic or
when the vehicle has been parked in
the sun;
– reduce the humidity of the air blown
into the passenger compartment (re-
moval of condensation).
Fuel consumption increases when the
air conditioning system is being used
(switch it off when it is not required). Note: The air conditioning may be used
in all conditions but does not operate
when the external temperature is low.
–
Button E not activated (indicator
integrated into the button not illu -
minated).
The air conditioning is not operating.
The heating and ventilation controls
are the same as a vehicle without air
conditioning.
– Button E activated (indicator in -
tegrated into the button illumi -
nated).
The air conditioning is operating.

In very hot weather or when 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.
Use the passenger compartment isola -
tion function to lower the temperature
as quickly as possible to the required
comfort level. Switch off the air recircu-
lation function once a comfortable level
has been reached. When the air conditioning system is op-
erating, all windows must be closed for
maximum efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, contact an
approved dealer.
If no cold air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly
and that the fuses are sound. If they are
not, switch off the heating and air con-
ditioning system (indicator integrated
into button E) and contact an approved
dealer.
Adjusting the air temperature.
Move control
F to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the control is
in the red, the more the temperature will
be increased.
Do not open the refrigerant
fluid circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.

Note: The maximum and minimum
settings of 15°C and 27°C allow the
system to produce a minimum or maxi-
mum temperature, whatever the ambi-
ent conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO indicator
light on the display is lit), all heating

When you modify certain functions
the AUTO indicator light goes out.
Only the modified function is not

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.
This is the recommended mode
of use.

Ambient temperature:
(automatic mode) (continued)
operation
To reach and keep the chosen comfort
level and to maintain good visibility, the
system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– air temperature.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or de -
creasing the value 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 reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

Adjusting automatic mode
Automatic mode is the normal operat -
ing mode of the system (AUTO indica -
tor light lit on display 5) but you may
alter the selections made by the system
(air distribution, etc.). These options
are explained on the following pages.
This is the recommended mode
of use: the automatic heating and
air conditioning system guarantees
comfort (except in the event of ex -
treme conditions) in the passenger
compartment and good visibility
while optimising consumption.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five possible combinations
for air distribution, which may be se -
lected by pressing buttons 8 and 10 re-
peatedly. The arrows on display 5 indi-
cate the setting selected:
õAll the air flow is directed to the
demisting vents for the wind -
screen and the side windows.
÷The air flow is directed to the
windscreen and side window
demisting vents, and the passenger
footwells.
ôThe air flow is directed to all
the air vents.
öThe air flow is directed towards
all the air vents and the pas -
senger footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
The manual air distribution option
causes the operating tell-tale light
on the display 5 to go out (automatic
mode), but only air distribution is no
longer controlled automatically by
the system.
Press button 6 to return to auto -
matic mode.

Varying 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 9 and 11.
These buttons allow you to increase or
decrease ventilation speed.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
button 3 : the AUTO warning light on
display 5 goes out.
Button 3 activates (display warning
light comes on) or stops (warning light
goes out) the air conditioning function. Note:
the Clear View function auto -
matically activates the air condition -
ing system (indicator light on). Press
button 6 to return to automatic mode.
Do not open the refrigerant
fluid circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.
In automatic mode, in cold weather,
the ventilation will not start imme -
diately at maximum power but will
increase progressively until the
engine temperature is warm enough
to heat the passenger compartment
air. This may take from a few sec -
onds to several minutes.
