AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase 
in fuel consumption (especially 
when driving in town) when the air 
conditioning is operating.
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:
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection 
frequency.Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning per-
formance.  This may be caused 
by the passenger compartment 
filter cartridge becoming clogged.
–  No cold air is being produced.  
Check that the controls are set 
correctly and that the fuses are 
sound. Otherwise, switch off the 
system.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning 
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you 
may notice that condensation starts 
to form on the windows and wind-
screen.
If there is condensation, use the 
“Clear View” function to remove it, 
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again. 
If the condensation does not clear, 
use the FAST programme.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit.  The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air 
conditioning system, it is normal for 
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.

FUSES (1/2)
Fuse box
If any electrical component does not 
work, check the condition of the fuses.
Unclip cover  A or B (depending on ve-
hicle).
Tweezers 1
Remove the fuse using tweezers  1, lo-
cated at the back of flap A or B.
To remove the fuse from the tweezers, 
slide the fuse to the side.
It is not advisable to use the free fuse 
locations.
Check the fuse in question 
and  replace it, if neces-
sary,  by a fuse of the same 
rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is 
too high, it may cause the electrical 
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the 
event of an item of equipment using 
an excessive amount of current.
