compartment using the three buttons 7.
Windscreen and side windows.
Central and side air vents.
Footwells.
Each press on a button activates or deactivates
the function. The indicator lamp is on when the

buttons 7 are off.
Air conditioning on/off.
The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.

increase the effectiveness of the demisting in
winter

, above 3°C.
►

Press button
8 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the indicator lamp is on, the air
conditioning function is activated.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is inhibited.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for a few
moments. Then return to the intake of exterior
air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity, misting).
Mono-zone/Dual-zone
The passenger temperature setting can be linked
to the driver's setting (mono-zone function).
It is available in the secondary page by pressing
button 11 "OPTIONS ".
► Press button 14 to activate the "MONO"
function; its status is displayed as " ON".
The function is automatically deactivated if the

buttons (dual-zone function).
Ventilation with the ignition
on
When the ignition is switched on, you can use
the ventilation system to adjust the air flow 5
and air distribution 7 settings in the passenger
compartment, for a period which depends on the
battery charge.
This function does not allow the operation of the
air conditioning system.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The function is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
