MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/4)
Switching passenger 
compartment isolation mode/
air recirculation mode on.
Press button 4 (the warning light comes 
on).
Under these conditions, air is taken 
from the passenger compartment and 
is recirculated, with no air being taken 
from outside the vehicle.Air recirculation is used to:
–  to isolate the passenger compart-
ment from the external atmosphere 
(e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);
–  to bring the passenger compartment  to the desired temperature as quickly 
as possible.

Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
With the engine running,  press 
switch  6. The integrated indicator light 
comes on.
This function permits rapid demisting/
de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing 
of the door mirrors (on equipped vehi-
cles).
To exit the function , press switch 6 
again.
Demisting automatically stops.
4
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 button  4 again.

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.

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.

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.

The refrigerant fluid circuit contains 
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Depending on the vehicle, you will find 
the following information on label A af-
fixed inside the engine compartment.
The presence and location of the infor-
mation on label  A depends on the ve-
hicle.
