Air conditioning odors
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter
into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.
To reduce potential odors from occurring:
It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
Air conditioning filter (vehicles with a cooling and dehumidification
function on/off button)
P. 279
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.

With the
engine off, the
audio system
switches off
after a few min-
utes of use.When the engine is switched
off, the audio system operat-
ing time depends on the bat-
tery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the
audio system switches to
economy mode and
switches off to prevent dis-
charging the vehicle’s bat-
tery.Start the vehicle’s engine to
increase the battery charge.
The message
“the audio sys-
tem is over-
heated”
appears on the
display.In order to protect the instal-
lation if the surrounding tem-
perature is too high, the
audio system switches to an
automatic thermal protec-
tion mode leading to a
reduction of the volume or
stopping of the playing of the
CD.Switch the audio system off
for a few minutes to allow
the system to cool.
