AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing
consumption and therefore
helping to preserve the
environment:
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 in-
spection frequency.Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault:
– reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning per-
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged;
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind-
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“Clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
If the condensation does not clear,
use the FAST programme.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.

Type of fuel
Octane Rating It is essential that you use unleaded petrol of the
octane rating stated on the label inside the fuel
filler flap.
If not available, for a limited time only, use un-
leaded fuel:
– with an octane rating of 91 for a label showing
95 or 98;
– with an octane rating of 87 for a label showing 91, 95 or 98. Diesel
The label located in the fuel filler flap indicates authorised fuels.
Spark plugs Only use the spark plugs specified for your vehi-
cle’s engine.
The type should be marked on a label affixed
inside the engine compartment. If it is not then
contact your approved dealer.
Fitting spark plugs which are not to specification
may damage the engine.
