VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Heating levels
The use of heating or air conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
Before using the vehicle, opt for “air
conditioning programming” mode to
maintain vehicle range (please refer to
the information on “Heating, air condi-
tioning programming” in Section 3).
When driving, minimise the use of heat-
ing and air conditioning and opt for
using the additional heating (please
refer to the information on “Additional
heating” in Section 3).
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.

Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 6.
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.
5 - Heated rear screen and heated
door mirror de-icer and demisting
control and warning light.
6 - Air conditioning operation control
and indicator light (depending on
vehicle).
7 - Stopping heating. In the stop posi-
tion, heating no longer uses up any
energy.
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condition-
ing: information and advice on use”.
The controls
The controls depend on the vehicle
equipment.
1 - Air recirculation control.
2 - Adjusting the air temperature and
selecting the heating and air-condi-
tioning programming.
3 - Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4 - Adjusting air distribution in the pas-
senger compartment.

iThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the passenger
footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to all air
vents and the footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in hot weather.
JThe air flow is directed mainly
to the dashboard vents.
Rapid demisting
Turn the controls to the positions W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 4 to position the pointer op-
posite the marked positions.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the side windows. This position
prevents the formation of condensa-
tion.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.

Position 0
In this position:
– heating or air conditioning stops au- tomatically even if button 6 is acti-
vated and the warning light remains
lit;
– 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.

HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (4/4)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Turn control 1 towards the air recircula-
tion symbol
K.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation operates as
follows:
– isolating the passenger compart-
ment from the outside air (driving in pol-
luted areas, unpleasant odours, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-re-
newed 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 turning control 1
again.
1
In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-
ommended to position the control 3
in air recirculation position and the
fan speed control 2 in position 2 or 3
only. This setting enables greater ef-
ficiency and lower energy consump-
tion in reaching the passenger com-
partment ambient temperature.

3.8
AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING: programming (1/2)
Adjusting the programming
This function enables the electric net-
work (and the not the traction battery)
to be used under certain conditions, in
order to obtain a comfortable tempera-
ture prior to using the vehicle.
It triggers the heating in cold weather
and the air conditioning in warm
weather.
1
Operating conditions
– The ignition must be switched off;
– the battery must be charged more than 90% for the function to be trig-
gered;
– the vehicle has to be plugged into the mains;
and
– control 1 must be in position
ṗ
at A to program the air condition-
ing or at B to program the heating or
ventilation.
3
It is recommended to position con-
trol 3 in the air recirculation position
and air distribution control 2 in po-
sition:
–
i in cold weather;
–
G in high temperatures.
These settings make it possible to
reach a comfortable temperature in
the passenger compartment.

Note: depending on the power of the
charging terminal, a slight reduction in
the charge level is possible when the
function is activated.

3.9
AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING: programming (2/2)
Activating the function
– With the ignition on, position the con-trol 1 in one of the
ṗ positions;
– turn off the ignition. The “COMFORT” message and the programmed time
are displayed on the instrument
panel for a few seconds;
– wait approximately one minute before charging your vehicle;
– plug in your vehicle to a power supply (refer to the information on “Electric
vehicle: charging” in section 1).
The function switches on during the
hour preceding the programmed time in
order to reach a comfortable tempera-
ture.
Automatically switching off the
function
– About 10 minutes after the pro- grammed time;
– if the charging socket is discon- nected;
– if control 1 is not in one of the
ṗ
positions.
