If after an extended stop in sunshine, the
interior temperature is very high, first air
the passenger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.

conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
F
E

nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F
T

Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in
the passenger compartment are automatic.
Temperature adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each
choose their own temperature setting.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
F
P
ress one of the buttons 1 to increase or
decrease the value.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.
Automatic comfort
programme
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the comfort level you have selected.
It is possible to modulate the intensity of the
automatic comfort programme by choosing one
of the settings offered in the secondary page,
accessible from the " OPTIONS" button. To change the current setting, shown by
illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp, press button 9 repeatedly until the
desired setting is displayed:
"Normal ": offers the best
compromise between a
comfortable temperature and
quiet operation (default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and
effective air flow.
Use the " Normal" or "Fast" setting to assure
the comfort of passengers in the rear seats.
This setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of AUTO
mode, the indicator for the last setting selected
remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if this was deactivated. In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
in order to reach the required level
of comfort more quickly. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
