Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface  do 
not allow you to stay in automatic 
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we 
recommend that you change to 
manual mode. This will prevent the 
automatic gearbox from changing 
gear repeatedly when climbing, and 
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
–  In cold weather , start the engine 
and wait a few seconds before 
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion  P or N and engaging it in  D or R 
to prevent the engine stalling.
The gear selected is displayed on the 
instrument panel.
Special casesIn certain driving conditions (result-
ing in, for example, engine protection, 
operation of the Electronic Stability 
Control programme: ESC etc.) the au-
tomated system may change the gear 
automatically. 
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu-
vres, a gear change may be refused by 
the automatic system: in this case the 
gear display flashes for a few seconds 
as a warning.
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)
Driving in manual mode
Move the selector lever  1 to position D, 
then move the lever to the right into po-
sition M. 
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you 
to change gears manually:
–  to move down through the gears,  push the lever forwards;
–  to move up through the gears, push  the lever backwards.

When facing uphill, to remain 
stopped, do not keep your foot on 
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic 
gearbox.
Check that the indicator 
light  P on the instrument 
panel is activated before 
leaving the vehicle.
Risk of loss of immobilisation of 
the vehicle

MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system enables once 
of five modes to be selected which, de-
pending on the vehicle, affect the drive, 
the light environment, the comfort and 
the engine noise:
–  modes Comfort , Neutral, Eco and Sport are preset and associated with 
customisable light environments and 
engine noise;
–  mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:
– power-assisted steering;
–  engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
–  passenger compartment and instru- ment panel lighting;
–  instrument panel and multifunction  screen information;
– engine noise;
– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the 
mode set at the time the engine was 
last switched off.
Mode Comfort
This mode favours smooth steering. 
The interior environment is softened.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the 
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving 
energy and the environment. The 
steering is smooth, engine and gearbox 
management enable fuel consumption 
to be lowered. Air conditioning is man-
aged to be used only when necessary.
Please refer to the information on 
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in 
Section 2.
Multi-Sense
Sport Eco
Neutral Comfort Perso
In all modes, it is possible to change 
the colour of the ambient lighting as 
well as the format of the information 
displayed on the instrument panel 
and multifunction display.
You can also reset to the default set-
tings.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (1/3)
Switching air conditioning on 
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off) 
using the control 3.
The air conditioning system is used 
for:
–  lowering the temperature inside the 
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more  quickly.
Indicators
The following indicators are displayed 
on the multimedia screen  A:

Air recirculation is for:
–  isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in polluted 
areas, etc.);
–  lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.Switching the air 
recirculation on
Press the control 4 : the integrated in-
dicator light in the button comes on. 
Under these conditions, air is taken 
from the passenger compartment and 
is recirculated, with no air being taken 
from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side 
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
 in 
the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode 
(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer \
required, by 
pressing the control  4 again.
Distribution of air in the 
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options. 
Turn control 5 to choose the distribution 
option.
The air distribution is displayed on the 
multimedia screen.
õThe air flow is directed to the 
windscreen and the front side 
window demisting vents.
÷The air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the 
front side window demisting vents, the 
windscreen demisting vents and the 
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly 
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards 
the dashboard air vents, the 
front footwells and, depending on the 
vehicle, the second row footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the 
dashboard vents.

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.
This mode consists of a choice of three 
programmes:
NORMAL  : allows the selected comfort 
level to be best attained, depending on 
the exterior conditions. Press button  4 
or key 9.
SOFT:  reaches the desired comfort 
level more gently and silently. Press 
button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the 
passenger compartment. This mode 
is recommended in particular to opti-
mise comfort in the rear seats. Press

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 pressing buttons 11 or 18 or by slid-
ing your finger in zone  20.
Temperature adjustmentThere are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment 
setting;
–  DUAL function setting to independ- ently adjust the left and right sides.
Uniform passenger compartment 
setting
Use control 7.
DUAL function setting
Press button 15 to activate. Use con-
trol  7 to adjust the left side and control  2 
for the right side.
The displayed temperature values 
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played will not allow the com-
fort level to be reached any more 
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or 
decrease (the ventilation system 
does not start instantly at maximum 
speed: it gradually increases). This 
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is 
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.

Automatic usage
Press button 16 (a warning light comes 
on in zone 14).
Manual use
Press button 5 to force air recirculation.
Prolonged use of this position may lead 
to odours, caused by non-renewal of 
air, and the formation of condensation 
on the windows.
We advise you to return to automatic 
mode as soon as air recirculation is no 
longer needed, by pressing key  16 or 
button 5 again.
To exit this function, press key  16 or 
button 5 again.
Adjusting the distribution 
of air in the passenger 
compartment
Press buttons 12 to select the desired 
distribution (a warning light is displayed 
in zone 14):
ØThe air flow is mainly directed 
to the demisting vents for the 
windscreen and the side windows.
½The air flow is mainly directed 
to the dashboard air vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly 
towards the footwells.
The demisting/de-icing will still take 
priority over the air recirculation.

Air recirculation
This function is managed automatically 
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 exter- nal atmosphere to be cut off (when 
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and 
to cool the passenger compartment 
temperature more quickly.
