Conditions of use
Immobilise the vehicle on a flat, level
surface (never with the wheel on the
pavement).
Apply the handbrake.
Temperature above -10°C.
Perform the operation with the engine
running if possible (risk of discharging
the battery).
To prevent the system from overheat -
ing, it cuts out automatically. It becomes
operational again after a maximum of
30 minutes.
When opening or clos -
ing the roof, ensure that
nothing interferes with the
moving parts (roof and roof
cover).
Do not drive with the roof unlocked.
Do not open or close the roof if the
wind speed is more than 20 mph
(30 km/h) (risk of damage to the
roof).
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
He/she may be able to operate the
rotating hard roof and there is a risk
of trapping his/her neck, arm, hand,
etc., which could cause serious in -
juries.
If anything is trapped, reverse the
rotating hard roof’s direction of
travel immediately by pressing the
opposite side of the roof open/close
button.
Never unlock the roof while
driving.
Risk of damage to the roof
and roof cover.

adjusting automatic mode
The system normally operates in auto-
matic mode but you can alter the stand-
ard settings used by the system (air
distribution, etc.). These options are
explained on the following pages.
automatic mode is the recom -
mended mode of use
In most cases, the automatic cli -
mate control system ensures a com-
fortable temperature in the passen -
ger compartment, while maintaining
good visibility and optimising fuel
consumption.
The types of adjustments that can
be made are described in the follow -
ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon
as possible.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas -
ing or decreasing the value dis -
played will not allow the com -
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

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 vehi -
cles fitted with manual air condition -
ing, 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 Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
frequency.
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.
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.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
t here is a risk of damage or of
fire.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave a

trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
