Switching air conditioning on 
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator 
light extinguished) using button 6.
The air conditioning system is used 
for:
–  lowering the temperature inside the  passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more  quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate 
when the exterior temperature is low.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control  2 to obtain the desired 
temperature. The further towards the 
red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.
When the air conditioning system is 
used for long periods, it may begin to 
feel cold. To increase the temperature, 
turn control 2 to the right.

Adjusting the ventilation 
speed
Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and 
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.
Position 0
In this position:
–  the air conditioning stops automati- cally even if button  6 is activated (the 
indicator light remains lit);
–  the ventilation speed of air in the  passenger compartment is zero;
–  there is, however, a slight flow of air  when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be 
used.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (3/3)
Air recirculation (isolation of 
the passenger compartment)
Turn control  1 towards air recirculation 
symbol 
â.
In these conditions air is taken from the 
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation is for:
–  isolating the passenger compart- ment from the outside air (driving in 
polluted areas, unpleasant odours, 
etc.);
–  bringing the passenger compartment  to the desired temperature as quickly 
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can 
lead to condensation forming on the 
side windows and windscreen and 
problems due to the use of non-re-
newed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return to 
normal mode (outside air) as soon 
as the air recirculation function is no 
longer required, by turning control  1 
again.

Only the temperature and the AUTO 
symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic mode 
are not displayed.
– press button 6 to increase the tem-
perature;
– press button  3 to decrease the tem-
perature.
Note:  The maximum and minimum 
settings of 15°C and 27°C allow the 
system to produce a minimum or maxi-
mum temperature, whatever the am-
bient conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO indica-
tor light on the display is lit), all air 
conditioning functions are controlled 
by the system.
When you modify certain functions 
the AUTO indicator light goes out. 
Only the modified function stops 
being controlled by the system.
To reach and keep the chosen comfort 
level and to maintain good visibility, the 
system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
–  air recirculation management;
–  air conditioning start/stop;
–  the air temperature.Automatic mode
Press button  5. The AUTO operating 
tell-tale will come on.
The automatic climate control system 
guarantees comfort in the passenger 
compartment and good visibility (except 
in the event of extreme conditions), 
while optimising fuel consumption.
This is the recommended mode of 
use.

ôThe air flow is directed mainly 
to the dashboard air vents. 
This position allows the passenger 
compartment to be heated or cooled 
more quickly.
öThe air flow is directed to all 
the windscreen demisting 
vents and the passenger footwells.
FThe air flow is directed mainly 
towards the passenger 
footwells.
The manual air distribution option 
causes the operating tell-tale light 
on display  4 to go out (automatic

longer controlled automatically by 
the system.
Press button  5 to return to automa-
tic mode.
Distribution of air in the 
passenger compartment
There are five possible combinations 
for air distribution, which may be selec-
ted by pressing buttons  7 and 9 repea-
tedly. The arrows on display  4 indicate 
the setting selected:

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/8)
In automatic mode, depending on 
the outside air conditions, the ven-
tilation may not start immediately at 
maximum power but will increase 
progressively until the engine tem-
perature is warm enough to heat the 
passenger compartment air. This 
may take from a few seconds to se-
veral minutes.
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses 
the most suitable amount of air to reach 
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Automatic mode is switched off by pres-
sing buttons 8 and 10.
These buttons allow you to increase or 
decrease ventilation speed.
Switching air conditioning on 
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches 
the air conditioning system on or off, 
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing 
button 2: the AUTO warning light on 
display  4 goes out. Note: the “Clear View” function auto-
matically activates the air conditioning. 
Press button 
5 to return to automatic 
mode.

ment), press button 10.

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 or automatic 
recirculation) as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing 
button 12.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.).
