Ease of use and comfort03
Correct driving position
For safety reasons, adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
–

head re
straint height.
–

sea

t backrest angle.
–

sea

t cushion height.
–

longit
udinal seat position.
–

st

eering wheel height and reach.
–

rear vie
w mirror and door mirrors.


Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be
viewed correctly from your driving position.
Front seats
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed on
the floor behind the seat.

40
Ease of use and comfort03
Activation/Deactivation
► Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function.
Upon activation, the indicator lamp comes on.
The massage function is activated for a period of
one hour.
During this time, massage is performed in 6 cycles
of 10 minutes (6 minutes of massage followed by
a 4-minute break).
After one hour, the function is deactivated; the
indicator lamp goes off.
Heated seats



The function is active only with the engine
running.
On/Off
►  Press the button corresponding to your seat.
►  Each press changes the heating level; the
corresponding number of indicator lamps come
on.
►  To stop heating, press the button again until
all the indicator lamps are off.
The system status is memorised when the ignition
is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electricity
consumption in turn decreases fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent a
short circuit:
–

Do no
t place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–

Do no
t kneel or stand on the seat.
–

Do no
t spill liquids onto the seat.
–

Ne
ver use the heating function if the seat
is damp.
Steering wheel
adjustment


►  When stationary, pull the control to release
the steering wheel.
►  Adjust the height and reach to suit your driving
position.
►  Push the control lever to lock the steering
wheel.
As a safety measure, these adjustments
must only be carried out with the vehicle
stationary.
Mirrors
Door mirrors
Adjustment



►  Turn control A to the right or to the left to
select the corresponding mirror.
►  Move the control in any of the four directions
to adjust.
►  Return the control to the central position.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should
be adjusted to reduce the blind spots.
The objects observed are, in reality, closer than
they appear. Take this into account in order
to correctly judge the distance of vehicles
approaching from behind.
Manual folding
The mirrors can be folded manually (parking
obstruction, narrow garage, etc.).

46Ease of use and comfort03
When the air flow is reduced to a minimum,
ventilation stops.
"OFF" is displayed alongside the fan.
Air distribution adjustment
► Press the buttons 3 to adjust the air flow
distribution inside the passenger compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
Central and side air vents
Footwells
The lighting of the button indicates that air is
being blown in the specified direction.
It is possible to activate all three buttons
simultaneously, for uniform distribution
throughout the passenger compartment.
Air conditioning on / off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed.
It is used to:
–

lo
wer the temperature in summer,
–

increase the effectiv
eness of the demisting in
winter, above 3°C.
►  Press button 4 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
Air conditioning does not operate when
the air flow is disabled.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return
to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity or misting).
Automatic Comfort programme
This automatic mode ensures optimum
management of the passenger compartment
temperature, air flow and air distribution, based
on the selected comfort level.
►  Press button 5 to activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system’s automatic mode .
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
You can adjust the intensity of the
automatic Comfort programme by using the
"OPTIONS" button to select a profile:
–
"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
–
"Normal": offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
–
"Fast": provides strong and effective air flow.
To change the current profile (shown by the
corresponding indicator lamp), press button 8
repeatedly until the desired profile is displayed:
The "Normal" or "Fast" profiles are the most
comfortable for passengers in the rear seats.
This profile setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of the AUTO
mode, the indicator lamp for the most recently
selected profile remains on.
Changing the profile setting does not reactivate
AUTO mode if it 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 to more quickly
reach the required level of comfort. The system
automatically corrects the temperature
difference as quickly as possible.
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and activates
interior air recirculation.
►  Press button 6 to activate / deactivate the
function (the indicator lamp will come on/switch
off).
Once the function is deactivated, the system
returns to the previous settings.
Switching the system off
►  Press this button.
Its indicator lamp comes on and all other indicator
lamps for the system go off.
This action deactivates all functions of the air
conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight
flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
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.
Front demist - defrost
► Press this button to activate/
deactivate the demisting or defrosting of
