In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
 
T
o   obtain   an   even   air   distribution,   take   care   not   to   obstruct   the   exterior   air   intake   grilles  
l

ocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as
  the   air   extractor   located   in   the   boot.
F
 
D
o   not   cover   the   sunshine   sensor,   located   on   the   dashboard;   this   is   used   for   regulation  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
O
perate   the   air   conditioning   system   for   at   least   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month  
t

o   keep   it   in   per fect   working   order.
F
 
E
nsure   that   the   passenger   compartment   filter   is   in   good   condition   and   have   the   filter  
e

lements   replaced   regularly.
 W

e   recommend   the   use   of   a   combined   passenger   compartment   filter.   Thanks   to   its  
s

pecial active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants
  and   the   cleanliness   of   the   passenger   compartment   (reduction   of   allergic  
s

ymptoms,   bad   odours   and   greasy   deposits).
F
 
T
o   ensure   correct   operation   of   the   air   conditioning   system,   you   are   also   advised   to   have

The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain chlorine and does not present
any
  danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning
  results   in   a   discharge

  normal.

r

ecommendation   according   to   the  
d

riving   conditions   (slope,   load,   ...)   and  
t

he   demands   of   the   driver   (power,  
a

cceleration,   braking,   ...).

-
 
e
ngaging   a   lower   gear.
Example:
-
 
Y
ou   are   in   third   gear.
Depending
  on   the   driving   situation   and   your  
v

ehicle's   equipment,   the   system   may   advise  
y

ou   to   skip   one   (or   more)   gear(s).   You   can

a

  higher   gear.
The

p

anel   in   the   form   of   an   arrow,   accompanied   by  
t

he   recommended   gear.
On
  certain   Diesel   versions   with   manual

n

ot   be   considered   compulsory.   In   fact,   the  
c

onfiguration   of   the   road,   the   amount   of   traffic  
a

nd   safety   remain   determining   factors   when  
c

hoosing   the   best   gear.   Therefore,   the   driver  
r

emains   responsible   for   deciding   whether   or   not
