DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/3)
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow. –
In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (espe-
cially in urban conditions) when it is
used. 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:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.

5 De-icing/demisting of the rear screen and, depending on the vehicle, the
door mirrors.
6 Air recirculation.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)
using button 3.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Turn control 4 to choose the distribution
option.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to-
wards the dashboard vents
and the footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.

3.5
Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the
air flow in the passenger compartment.
The passenger compartment is ven-
tilated by blown air. The blower deter-
mines how much air enters but vehicle
speed has a slight effect on this.
Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 6: the integrated indicator
light comes on.
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 for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter- nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible. “OFF" position:
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.
Recommended demisting option:
Turn controls
1, 2 and 4 to the
W
position.
This is the quickest option for de-icing
and demisting the side windows and
the windscreen.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/2)
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.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is
no longer required, by pressing the
button 6 again.
The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to \
avoid any risk of condensation forming on the wind-
screen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator li\
ght 3 to come on.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/5)Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), whilst optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recircula-
tion, and starting and stopping the air
conditioning and air temperature. This
mode consists of a choice of three pro-
grammes:
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SOFT: gently brings the temperature to
the desired comfort level. The comfort
level is then maintained gently and si-
lently. Press button 2.
FAST: increases the operation of the
system to reach the desired comfort
level more quickly. Use this programme
when you have passengers in the rear.
Press button 4.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (2/5)
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed
by pressing buttons 12 to increase or
reduce the ventilation speed.
In this case, the ventilation speed,
which is no longer controlled automat-
ically, appears in zone A on the dis-
play 13.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat-
ing status.

Temperature adjustment
Press button 1 or 6 to raise or lower the
left-hand 1 or right-hand 6 temperature.
Pressing button 3 for more than two
seconds sets the passenger tempera-
ture to the driver’s temperature.
Special note: the highest and lowest
settings allow the system to produce
maximum hot or cold temperature
levels (“LO” and “HI” on display 13).

Clear View function
Press button 10: the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This function quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 9 to stop the heated rear
screen operating; the integrated indica-
tor goes out.
You can change the ventilation speed
by pressing button 12.
To exit this function, press:
– button 10 again,
– one of either button 2, 3 or 4.
