Dual-zone digital air conditioning
Automatic operation
Automatic comfort programme
Three modes are provided for the driver and for the front passenger to select their desired level
of comfort in the passenger compartment.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will only reach its optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells only.
Offers the best compromise between a comfortable temperature and quiet operation.
Provides soft and quiet operation by limiting air flow.
Provides strong and effective air flow.
 Press the "AUTO" button repeatedly. The indicator lamp comes on at the first press; the mode activated appears in the digital air conditioning screen:.
1. Automatic comfort programme. 2. Temperature adjustment on driver's side. 3. Temperature adjustment on passenger's side. 4. Automatic visibility programme. 5. Air conditioning On/Off. 6. Air distribution adjustment. 7. Air flow adjustment. 8. Air intake/ Air recirculation.
The air conditioning can only operate with the engine running.

Comfort
A setting around 21 enables you to obtain an optimum level of comfort. Depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is usual. In addition, it is recommended that you avoid a left /right setting difference of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to alter the value displayed in order to obtain the required level of comfort. The system corrects the temperature difference automatically and as quickly as possible.
Automatic visibility programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, you can exceed the minimum value of 14 or the maximum value of 28.  Push the switch 2 or 3 down until "LO" is displayed or up until "HI" is displayed.
See "Front demisting-defrosting".
Depending on your requirements, you can make a different selection from that offered by the system by changing a setting. The other functions will still be controlled automatically.
Resuming manual control
The air conditioning is designed to operate efficiently in all seasons, with the windows closed.
Air conditioning On/Off
It allows you: - in summer, to lower the temperature, - in winter, above 3 °C, to improve demisting.
Switching on Press the "A/C" button, the associated indicator lamp comes on. The air conditioning cannot operate when the air flow is set to off.
Switching off Press the "A /C " button again; the associated indicator lamp goes off. Switching off may cause some problems (humidity, misting).

Visibility
Daytime running lamps
Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is started making the vehicle more visible to other users.
LED lamps
They come on when the engine is started. Depending on the country of sale, they are used for: - daytime running lamps * in day mode and sidelamps in night mode (they are brighter when daytime running lamps),
or - sidelamps in day and night mode.
* Function that can be set in the vehicle configuration menu.
This function is assured: - in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps; this function cannot be deactivated. - for other countries where it is provided, by the use of dedicated lamps (LEDs); this function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu. The lighting control stalk must be placed in
the "0" or "AUTO" (day mode) position. Deactivation of the daytime running lamps is effective after operation of the lighting control stalk or after the next engine start; activation is effective immediately.
The instruments and controls (instrument panel, multifunction screen, air conditioning control panel, ...) are not illuminated, except in night mode with manual or automatic illumination of headlamps.

Safety
Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent collisions. The airbags supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear passenger). If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones: - in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instantly and contribute towards better protection of the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants, - in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off. This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation. The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it has been deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the front impact zone A , in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The front airbag inflates between the thorax and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and thorax. The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
