Reinitialisation is carried out after a few 
minutes’ driving.
Note:
The standard tyre pressure cannot be 
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
Display
The display 2 on the instrument panel 
informs you of any tyre pressure faults 
(flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).
“ADJUST TYRE PRESSURE”
Warning light 
 comes on, along 
with the message “ADJUST TYRE 
PRESSURE”.
These indicate that at least one tyre is 
flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the 
pressures of the four wheels when cold. 
The warning light 
 goes off after a 
few minutes’ driving.
SYSTEM B (cntd.)
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
–  repeatedly press one of the but- tons  3 or 4 to select the “LEARNING 
THE  TYRE PRESSURE” function 
on the display  2;
–  press and hold (around 3 seconds)  button  3 or 4 to start initialisation. The 
display of the message “PRESSURE 
REF  ONGOING” for around 5 sec-
onds indicates that the reset request 
for the tyre pressure reference value 
has been taken into account.
“PUNCTURE”
The warning light 
 comes on 
steady, accompanied by the message 
“PUNCTURE” and a beep.
This message is accompanied by the 
warning light 
®.
They indicate that at least one wheel 
is punctured or severely underinfla-
ted. Replace it or contact an authorised 
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre 
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
The sudden loss of pressure in a 
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.
Warning light ® re-
quires you to stop immedi-
ately, for your own safety, 
as soon as traffic conditions 
allow.

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 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 controls
1   Automatic mode.
2   Air temperature adjuster.
3   “Clear View” function.
4   Passenger compartment air distribu-
tion adjustment.
5   Air conditioning control.
6   Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
7   Air recirculation.
8   De-icing/demisting of the rear screen 
and, depending on the vehicle, the 
door mirrors.

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), while optimising consumption. 
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.

Air recirculation (isolation of 
the passenger compartment) 
K
This function is managed automatically 
(operation is confirmed by a warning 
light on button 7), but you can also acti-
vate it manually.
NB:
–  during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and 
is recycled, with no air being taken 
from outside the vehicle;
–  air recirculation allows the external  atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
–  the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger 
compartment temperature quicker.
1
The demisting/de-icing will still take 
priority over the air recirculation.
Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead 
to odours, caused by non-renewal of 
air, and the formation of condensation 
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing 
button 7.
To exit this function, press button  7 
again. Stopping the system
Turn the control 6 to “OFF” to stop the 
system. To start it, turn the control 
6 
again, then adjust the fan speed or 
press the button 1.
