Manual use
Pressing the button 9 allows air recir-
culation to be forced. In this case, the
integrated warning light comes on and
the indicator D goes out.
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 9.Stopping the system
To stop the system, press the button 1
OFF (the integrated warning light
comes on) or, depending on the ve-
hicle, reduce the fan speed down to
a minimum by pressing the button 6
marked by OFF as many times as is
necessary.
To start, press the switch 7.
Recycling
This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light D), but you can also activate
it manually.
Note:
– 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.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (6/6)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

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.

OUTSIDE AIR QUALITY AND DEODORISATION FUNCTION
With the air conditioning switched
on, from the screen A, select Menu,
Vehicle, Take care.
Outside air quality
The air quality is given using a graph on
the multifunction screen.
Three colours indicate the air quality
level (from the cleanest to the most
polluted):

Deodorisation function
This reduces unpleasant odours in the
passenger compartment.
Deodorization cycle
– ON: helps to reduce the unpleasant odour more quickly in the passenger
compartment,
– OFF: stop the function.
Note:
The function is on a timer. It stops auto-
matically after a few minutes.

One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
It is only fitted to the driver’s window.
Briefly press or pull switch 1 fully: the
window is fully lowered or raised.
Pressing the switch again stops the
window moving.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g.: branch of a tree,
etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a
few centimetres.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (2/2)/FIXED SUNROOF
Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
one second then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your authorised
dealer.
Fixed glass roof
Opening the blind
Pull the switch 7 and put it to the de-
sired position.
Closing the blind
Push the switch 7 and put it to the de-
sired position.
Automatic operation
Quickly pull or push the switch 7 as far
as it will go: the blind closes or opens
fully. Using the switch stops the blind
function in place.

When closing the windows,
ensure that no part of the
body (arm, hand, etc.) is
protruding from the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

To open, press the control 1.
BONNET (1/2)
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Unlocking the bonnet catch
To open, raise the bonnet slightly, then
lift the paddle 2 at the centre point of
the bonnet.
Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet up and release the stay 4
from its holder 5. For your own safety, it
is very important to fit the stay into its
retainer 3.

When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off by pressing
the engine stop button (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

– Remove the dipstick and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Reading the oil levelThe oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.
The instrument panel display only
alerts the driver when the oil level is at
its minimum.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.

Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an authorised dealer.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off by pressing
the engine stop button (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).

Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground and the engine should be cold
(for instance, before the engine is
started up for the first time in the day).– Unscrew cap
1;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on the dipstick 2
is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depend-
ing on the engine);
– wait for approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using the dipstick 2
(as described above).
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (1/3)
Do not exceed the max level and
do not forget to refit cap 1 and dip-
stick 2.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
