the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation
speed by turning control 6 to increase
or reduce the ventilation speed.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature.
Turning the control to the right in-
creases the temperature.
Special note: the maximum and mini-
mum settings allow the system to pro-
duce a minimum or maximum tempera-
ture (18°C and 26°C).

The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recirculation,
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 1.

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.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
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.
Vehicles fitted with an
auxiliary heater
Some vehicles are fitted with an auxil-
iary heater which heats the passenger
compartment more quickly.
This device operates only when the
engine is running and in cold weather.
When the device is functioning you
can normally see a small amount of
smoke on the right-hand side of the ve-
hicle coming from the heater’s exhaust
system.
Advice on useIn some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again.
MaintenanceRefer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning is being used
(switch it off when it is not required).

3.13
ADDITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING
On equipped vehicles, there are four
adjustable air vents and controls 1.
These controls only affect the amount
of air blown into the passenger com-
partment:
– one control for hot (air comes from lower vents);
– one control for cold (air comes from upper vents).
Note: avoid closing the four air vents
at the same time (risk of damaging the
system components).Heating and air conditioning

Make sure that the air conditioning is
operational (warning light on button 2
