VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Heating levels
The use of heating or air-conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
To maintain your vehicle range, you are
recommended to favour:
– before using the vehicle, the “pro-gramming” mode (please refer to the
information in “Air-conditioning: pro-
gramming” in Section 3).
– while driving, the ECO mode (please see information about “ECO driving”
in Section 2).
Tyres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci-
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When driving, use tyres made by the
same manufacturer, with the same di-
mensions, type and structure as the
original tyres. The use of non-regula-
tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle
range.
Please see the information on “Tyre
pressure” in Section 4.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-
hicle.

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (1/4)
The system controls the fan speed, air
distribution, air recirculation,starting
and stopping the air conditioning, the
heating and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 1.
Adjusting the air temperatureTurn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
If the outdoor temperature is too high,
the heating decreases automatically.
This limits energy consumption and
maintains the range of the vehicle.
Special note: the highest and lowest
settings allow the system to produce
maximum hot or cold temperature
levels (“ LOW” and “HIGH" indicated on
the multimedia display).

Deactivating the air-
conditioning
The button 5 stops (warning light on)
the operation of the air-conditioning.
To activate the air-conditioning, press
the button 1 . The integrated warning
light in the button 5 will go out.
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.

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
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.
Preferably, use automatic mode.
In automatic mode (the button’s
warning light 1 is lit), all heating and
air-conditioning functions are con-
trolled by the system.
You can always modify the choice
of system; in this case, the warning
light in the button 1 goes out.
Advice: to optimize vehicle range, de-
activate the air conditioning when the
outside temperature is comfortable.
Clear View function
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This system quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen and the front side
windows. It requires the automatic
usage of the air-conditioning or the
heating.
To exit this function, press the button
marked 3.

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (3/4)
Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn the control 6 to one of the eight
positions to start the ventilation system
and adjust the power.
Position OFF
In this position:
– the air conditioning switches off au- tomatically;
– 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.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
Press one of the buttons 4 to select the
air distribution. The integrated warning
light in the button comes on.
It is possible to combine two positions
simultaneously – press both buttons 4.
ØThe air flow is distributed be-
tween demisting air vents of
the front side-window and the wind-
screen demisting vents.
½All the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
Press button 9 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on. This function en-
ables rapid demisting or de-icing of the
rear screen and de-icing of the door
mirrors (on equipped vehicles).

Recommendations
In the event of freezing, manu-
ally de-ice the windscreen using a
scraper rather than the de-icing/de-
misting function in order to reduce
your energy consumption.
To exit this function, press button 9
again. Demisting automatically stops.

Depending on the vehicle, the system
determines whether or not air recircula-
tion is used, based on the quality of the
outside air.
The air quality is confirmed by the ap-
pearance of one of the following warn-
ing lights on the multimedia display (for
the cleanest and the least clean air re-
spectively):
  .
AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (4/4)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
K
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually. In
this case, the operation is confirmed by
a warning light on the button 8. NB:
– 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.);
– the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger
compartment temperature quicker.
Manual use
Press button 8 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
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 8.
Stopping the function manually
Press the button 8 to stop the function.
Air recirculation is then automatic.

The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
