To remove bad odours from your ve-
hicles, only use the systems designed

Dealer.
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.

Adjusting the ventilation fan
speed.
Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further to
the right it is positioned, the more air is
blown into the passenger compartment.
If you want to shut off the flow of air, set
control 3 to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),
you can however still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Note:
Leaving this control in position 0 for
prolonged periods can lead to conden-
sation forming on the side windows and
windscreen and problems due to the
use of non-renewed air in the passen-
ger compartment.
Rapid demisting
Isolation of the passenger compart-
ment/air recirculation deactivated
(warning light integrated in button 4 is
off), put controls 1 and 3 to
W po-
sitions.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (1/4)
Controls
The controls will depend on the vehicle
equipment level.
1 Distribution of air.
2 Switching air conditioning on or off.
3 Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4 Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode
on
5 Air temperature adjuster.
Information and advice on use: refer
to information on “Air conditioning: in-
formation and advice on use”.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 5 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further towards the
red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (3/4)
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 1 to choose the distribution
option.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
FThe air flow is mainly distrib-
uted between the front and
rear footwells and the dashboard vents.
Close the dashboard vents to direct all
the air to the foot wells.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting air vents,
the windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
WAll the air is then directed to
the windscreen and front side
window demisting vents.

The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lower the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminate condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (4/4)
Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 2.
Activation is not possible if control 3 is
set to 0.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Vehicles fitted with the ECO
mode (button 7 ): Once activated,
ECO mode may reduce the effec-
tive performance of the heating and/
or air conditioning. Please refer to
the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.

3.8
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).

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.

ing functions must be activated.
Press button 8 to stop the heated rear
screen operating, and the integrated in-
dicator goes out.
To exit this function, press button 3

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.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 control 6 to “OFF” to stop the
system. To start, turn control 6 again
to adjust the blower speed or press
button 1.

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.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
