tional below 2°C.
If you want to shut off the flow of air, set
the control 3 to “0”. The system is de-
activated: the ventilation speed is zero
(vehicle stationary). You can, however,
still feel a slight flow of air when the ve-
hicle is moving.Adjusting the amount of air

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 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
environment
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.
MaintenanceRefer 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.
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
mode ECO
Once activated, ECO mode may
reduce air conditioning perform-
ance. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Driving advice, Eco-driving”
in Section 2.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the rear wheels off
the ground.
In exceptional circumstances, you
may tow it with all four wheels on the
ground, only in a forward gear, with the
gear in neutral position N, over a maxi-
mum distance of 31 miles (50 km) and
not exceeding a speed of 15.5 mph
(25 km/h).
If the gear lever cannot be put into the
N position, please consult an autho-
rised dealer.1
2
Before any towing, put the gears into
neutral (neutral position for vehicles
equipped with a manual gearbox or N
position for vehicles equipped with an
automatic gearbox).
Unlock the steering column; the igni-
tion key must be in “ M” position (ig-
nition) to enable signalling (“Stop”
lights, hazard warning lights, etc.).
Always switch on the lights when
driving at night.
Release the parking brake.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla-
tion in your country. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
3
If the lever is locked in position P ,
even though you are depressing the
brake pedal and pressing the unlock-
ing button 1 , the lever can still be re-
leased manually. To do this, unclip the
base of the gear lever 2 starting on the
side below the air conditioning controls.
Then raise the button 3 and simulta-
neously press the unlock button 1 on
the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

5.29
TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Only use the front and rear towing
points 4.
(never use the drive shafts or any other
part of the vehicle)
This towing point may only be used for
towing: never use it for lifting the vehi-
cle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Unclip the cover 6 by inserting a flat-
blade screwdriver or similar under the
cover. Screw in the tow eye 5 by hand
as far as possible.
Only use the tow eye 5 located under
the passenger footwell alongside the
inflation kit; unscrew the two screws 8.

4
Never leave tools unse-
cured in the vehicle: there
is a risk that they may be
thrown about during brak-
ing. After use, check that the tow
eye is properly stored away in its
housing: there is a risk of injury.
5
8
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– In all cases, it is advisable not to exceed 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
