AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL: Controls A (2/5)
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 by slid-
ing or touching your finger in zone 19.
Depending on the vehicle, the ventila-
tion speed, which is no longer control-
led automatically, appears in zone 19
and zone 14.
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 1.
DUAL function setting
Press button 15 to activate. Use con-
trol 1 to adjust the left side and control 3
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.

Air recirculation
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.
Automatic use
Depending on the vehicle, press button
16 (a warning light comes on in zone
14).
Manual use
Depending on the vehicle, Press
button 6 or 16 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.
To exit this function, press one of 8, 9,
10 or button 6 or 16 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.

When Ø and ½ are choosed
at the same time, there can be some
drops of dew on the windscreen in
summer and they are recommended to
choose in winter.
½ is designed to
flow a little air for pleasantness.
If you want to demist the windscreen
fast, using Clear view function is rec-
ommended by pressing button 7.

The following indicators are displayed
on the screen 11 :
12 Outside air temperature display.
13 Left and right temperature display.
14 Active mode, ventilation speed and air distribution in the passenger com-
partment (temporary display after
pressing the associated controls).
Automatic mode 3
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi
tions), whilst 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:
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending
on the exterior conditions. Press the
button AUTO.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort
level more gently and silently. Press the
button SOFT.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the
passenger compartment. This mode is
recommended in particular to optimise
comfort in the rear seats. Press the
button FAST.
Some buttons have a warning light
indicating their operative state.

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 advice on use
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, ventila-
tion 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.
