Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
the air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside via
the grille located at the base of the windscreen or
from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Controls
the incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver, the front passenger and rear
passengers, according to the level of
equipment.
th
e temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
th

e air distribution control enables you to
select the air vents used in the passenger
compartment by the combined use of the
associated buttons.
th

e air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
th

ese controls are grouped together on control

steering mounted thumb wheel for access to
the main menu.

to season you can, for example, select
one or the other departure time.
A message in the instrument panel
screen confirms your choice. Only one programmed or immediate
preheating/preventilation can be

to p

rogramme the heating and the
ventilation, it is necessary to first
deactivate the alarm volumetric and tilt
monitoring (see the "Alarm" section). Always switch off the programmable
heating while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
to a

void the risk of intoxication and

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
t
o l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.to a void overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
th

e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine

towbar is used.
Refer to the "
te

chnical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
