AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (for exam-
ple, engine protection, operation of the
Electronic Stability Programme: the au-
tomatic system may change gear auto-
matically.
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.
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.
Driving in manual mode
With the selection lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
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.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.

When facing uphill, to remain
stopped, do not keep your foot on
the accelerator.
Risk of overheating the automatic
gearbox.

Varying the ventilation speed
You can adjust the fan speed by press-
ing the buttons 4 to increase or reduce
the fan speed.
The fan speed is displayed on the in-
dicator C.
The system is stopped (OFF): the venti-
lation speed is zero (vehicle stationary).
You can, however, still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (3/3)
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn the control 1 to obtain the de-
sired temperature. The more bars dis-
played A, the higher the temperature.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 1 to the right.
The air temperature is displayed on the
indicator A.
The de-icing function cannot be
used with the air recirculation mode
to avoid any risk of condensation
forming on the windscreen and trig-
gers the air conditioning to come on.
The integrated light in button 7 does
not come on.
Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
With the engine running, press
button 6. The operating tell-tale 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 this function, press button 6
again.
Demisting automatically stops.
Stopping the system
To stop the system, press the button 5
OFF (the integrated warning light
comes on).

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (2/6)
Temperature adjustment
There are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment setting;
– adjustment in DUAL function to inde- pendently adjust the left and/or right-
hand side of the passenger compart-
ment.
Uniform passenger compartment
setting
Use control 2.
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.DUAL function setting
Press button 12 to activate.
Use the control 2 to adjust the left side
and control 10 for the right side.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)
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.
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
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.
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.
Vehicles equipped with ECO
mode: once activated, ECO mode
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning. Please refer to the
information on “Driving advice, Eco-
driving” in Section 2.
Use the air conditioning system reg-
ularly, even in cold weather, running
it at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.

3.14
The refrigerant circuit may contain
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.
AAA
Do not open the refriger-
ant circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.
Before performing any
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must
be switched off (please see
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
