We recommend use of the automatic regulation
of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised control
of all of the following functions: air flow,
temperature in the passenger compartment
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sunshine).
This eliminates any need for you to change
your settings other than the temperature value
displayed.
F Take care not to cover the sunshine
sensor A.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort will be
maintained and humidity and condensation will
be removed regardless of the exterior climatic
conditions.
The temperature in the passenger compartment
can only be lower than the ambient temperature
if the air conditioning is on.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning must
be used with the windows closed. If the vehicle
has been parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes, then close the
windows.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning recommendations
To keep the air conditioning system in
good working order it is essential that it is
operated at least once a month.
The air conditioning uses engine power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly arduous use
(e.g. towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), switching off
the air conditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet,
at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and
free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a high
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the air
inlet. Maximum comfort is obtained by means of
a good distribution of air in the passenger
compartment, both in the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of air, take
care not to block the exterior air intake grille
located at the base of the windscreen, the
vents, the air outlets under the front seats and
the air extractor located behind the flaps in
the boot.
The front and rear vents are fitted with
thumbwheels to adjust the air flow and
direction. We recommend that you leave all of
the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours and
dust.
This filter must be changed in line with the
vehicle's servicing schedule. (Refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide).

distribution chosen come on:
-
Windscreen and front side windows.
- Front ventilation (central and side vents
and air diffusion grille if open) and rear
ventilation.
- Front and rear footwells. The air conditioning will only operate when the
engine is running. The air blower control (air
flow adjustment) must be active to obtain air
conditioning.
Simultaneous display of the distribution of
air to the windscreen and side windows and
of front and rear ventilation is not possible.

demist or defrost the windows
(humidity, several passengers,
i c e).
The "OFF" symbol is displayed in the display
screen.
This action switches off the screen and the indicator
lamps.
It deactivates all of the system's functions, with the
exception of the rear screen demisting.
The temperature-related comfort is no longer controlled
(temperature, humidity, odour, condensation).
Avoid driving for too long with the air conditioning off.
The air flow level is indicated by the
progressive illumination of the bars in the
control panel screen 9 .
To prevent condensation and deterioration
of the quality of the air in the passenger
compartment, ensure that an adequate flow of
air is maintained.
To reactivate the air conditioning:
F Press control 1 . F
Press control 6 to clear the windows
quickly. The indicator lamp comes on.
The "Demisting" mode controls the
temperature, air flow and intake and distributes
the ventilation to the windscreen and front side
windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
"Demisting" mode. It must be cancelled to
permit renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and demisting.
Once the screen is clear, pressing control 1
returns the system to "AUTO" mode.

and 1b . The indicator lamps A come on.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There
is no need to change the temperature
displayed in order to quickly obtain the
level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
per formance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
Simultaneous display of the
distribution of air to the windscreen
and side windows and of front and rear
ventilation is not possible.
