Controls
The controls will depend on the vehicle
equipment level.
1 Distribution of air.
2 Switching air conditioning on or off.
3 Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4 Air temperature adjuster.
5 Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode
on.
Leaving this control in position 0 for
prolonged periods can lead to con-
densation forming on the side win-
dows and windscreen and problems
due to the use of non-renewed air in
the passenger compartment.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 4 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
in the red, the more the temperature will
be increased.
Adjusting the ventilation fan
speed.
Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further
to the right it is positioned, the more air
is blown into the passenger compart-
ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control 3 to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Information and advice on use: refer
to information on “Air conditioning: in-
formation and advice on use”.

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Switching passenger
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on.
Bring lever 5 to position â.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle. Air recirculation is used to:
– to isolate the passenger compart-
ment from the external atmosphere
(e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);
– to bring the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of air recirculation
can lead to condensation form-
ing on the side windows and wind-
screen, and discomfort due to the
use of non-renewed air in the pas-
senger compartment.
You are therefore advised to return
to normal mode (external air) as
soon as the air recirculation func-
tion is no longer required, by turning
control 5 to the right.

Rapid demisting
Turn controls 1 , 3 and 5 to positions
W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum fan speed;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 1 to choose the distribution
option.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
FThe air flow is mainly distrib-
uted between the front and
rear footwells and the dashboard vents.
Close the dashboard vents to direct all
the air to the foot wells.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting air vents,
the windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
WAll the air is then directed to
the windscreen and front side
window demisting vents.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 2.
Activation is not possible if control 3 is
set to 0.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lower the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminate condensation more quickly.
Fuel consumption increases when the
air conditioning is being used (switch it
off when it is not required).
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially when driv-
ing in town) when the air conditioning is
operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance .
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.

Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.
