Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR CoNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
It is normal to notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially in
towns) when the air conditioning is
operating. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
In order to minimise consump -
tion and help to protect the en -
vironment, it is recommended to
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 Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
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.
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.

refitting a front or rear wiper
blade
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in re-
verse order to removal.
Make sure that the blade is correctly
locked in position.
– press button 2 and slide the wiper
blade sideways to release hook 4 on
the wiper arm.
Before using the wipers, check that no objects are obstructing the travel
of the blades.
– In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(to avoid the risk of the motor overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care not to drop the arm onto the window after it
has been removed as this may break the window.

service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.

approved Dealer as soon as possible.
radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
