MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING SYSTEM (2/3)
Air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Normal operation of the heating and
ventilation system is obtained using air
from outside.
Recirculation of air allows the external
atmosphere to be isolated (driving in
polluted areas, etc.).
Press button B to switch to isolation
mode. This function also allows the de-
sired comfort level to be achieved as
quickly as possible.
This starts or stops air recirculation.
Operating tell-tale lights up when the
function is operational. In this position
the air is taken from inside the passen-
ger compartment and is recycled with-
out letting air in from outside.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-
renewed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return
to normal mode (external air) as
soon as the air recirculation function
is no longer required, by pressing
button B again.

Clear View function
Press button 1; the indicator lights in
buttons 1 and 11 come on.
AUTO goes out on display 4.
This function rapidly demists/de-ices
the windscreen, the front side windows
and the door mirrors.
It imposes automatic operation of the
air conditioning and heating of the rear
screen and/or heated door mirrors, and
inhibits air recirculation. Press button
11 if you do not wish to
switch on the heated rear screen and/
or heated door mirrors.
Note: if you wish to reduce the air flow
(which may produce a certain amount
of noise in the passenger compart-
ment), press button 5.
To exit this function , press:
– button 1 again;
– button 3 (AUTO lights up on the dis-
play).
Air recirculation
Pressing button 12 activates air recir-
culation (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external at-
mosphere to be cut off (when driving in
polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of the air recirculation
mode may cause the windows to mist
up or lead to odours, as the air is not
renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon as
the air recirculation function is no longer
required, by pressing button 12 again.

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.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
Advice on use
In 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.
Maintenance
Refer 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.
