3.11
In automatic mode, depending on
the outside air conditions, the ven-
tilation may not start immediately at
maximum power but will increase
progressively until the engine tem-
perature is warm enough to heat the
passenger compartment air. This
may take from a few seconds to
several minutes.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
button 2: AUTO goes out on display 4
and AC OFF lights up.
Note: the “Clear View” function auto-
matically activates the air conditioning.
Press button 3 to return to automatic
mode.
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
Exit automatic mode by pressing but-
tons 5 and 7.
These buttons allow you to increase or
decrease ventilation speed.
Rear screen and/or door
mirror de-icing/demisting.
Press button 11: the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.

Clear View function
Press button 1; the indicator lights in
buttons 1 and 11 come on.
AUTO goes out on display 4.
This function rapidly demists/de-ices
the windscreen, the front side windows
and the door mirrors.
It imposes automatic operation of the
air conditioning and heating of the rear
screen and/or heated door mirrors, and
inhibits air recirculation. Press button
11 if you do not wish to
switch on the heated rear screen and/
or heated door mirrors.
Note: if you wish to reduce the air flow
(which may produce a certain amount
of noise in the passenger compart-
ment), press button 5.
To exit this function , press:
– button 1 again;
– button 3 (AUTO lights up on the dis-
play).
Air recirculation
Pressing button 12 activates air recir-
culation (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external at-
mosphere to be cut off (when driving in
polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of the air recirculation
mode may cause the windows to mist
up or lead to odours, as the air is not
renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon as
the air recirculation function is no longer
required, by pressing button 12 again.

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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
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.
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.
Use the air conditioning system reg-
ularly, even in cold weather, running
it at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
Vehicles equipped with
modeECO
Once activated, ECO mode may
reduce air conditioning perform-
ance. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Driving advice, Eco-driving”
in Section 2.
