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 operating instructions (1/2)
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, ventilation 
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.

part of the body becomes trapped, 
reverse the direction of the window 
immediately by pressing the rele-
vant switch.
