Air intake / Air recirculation
The recirculation of interior air insulates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist.
Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
-

l

ower the temperature, in summer,
-

i

ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3°C.
Switching on
F Press this button, the associated indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment is set to
of f.
Switching off
F Press the button again, the associated indicator lamp switches off.

Automatic programme
Allows optimum operation of the
system.
Offers temperature control while
restricting air flow.
Dynamic air distribution mainly
towards the side air vents.
We recommend that you use this mode.
It provides optimised automatic control of
all of the following functions: passenger
compartment temperature, air flow, air
distribution and air intake, in accordance with
the comfort value that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows and fabric roof
closed.
For your comfort, when the engine is switched
off, the settings are retained until the engine is
switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of cold air
when the engine is cold, the air flow will only
reach its optimum level gradually.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Hazard warning lamps
A visual warning by means of the direction
indicators to alert other road users to a vehicle
breakdown, towing or accident.
F
P
ress this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
