The window automatically lowers by a few
millimetres, allowing the door to be sealed when
closed.
If the door remains open for more than
one minute, the window goes back up;
pull the handle again to reactivate the system.
In freezing temperatures, the presence of
ice may interfere with the window micro-
descent system; remove any ice that may
have formed along the seal at the base of the
window, then gently open the door.

2From inside

► Pull the interior opening control of a door; this
unlocks the vehicle completely .
The window automatically comes down by a few
millimetres, allowing the door to be sealed when
closed.
With selective unlocking activated:
– Opening the driver's door unlocks
the driver's door only (if the vehicle has not
already been completely unlocked).
–

Opening one of the passenger doors
unlocks the rest of the vehicle.
Closing

The window automatically goes back up after
a few seconds and adjusts to seal the window
perfectly.
Beware of the risk of trapping your
fingers when the window comes up
automatically.
– If a door is not properly closed, this
warning lamp comes on accompanied by
a message if the engine is running, and an
audible signal when the vehicle is travelling at
more than 6

with a cloth wetted with demineralised water,
then dry with a soft cloth.
Looking after the seals
From time to time, the rubber door and
window seals must be sprayed with a silicone
type care product to prevent premature wear
and sealing problems.
This also makes the doors easier to open,
especially in winter to prevent freezing.

Ease of use and comfort
3Driving position
Correct seating position
Adopting a good driving position contributes to
improving driver comfort and protection.
It also optimises interior and exterior visibility as
well as access to controls.
Certain seat adjustments described in this
section depend on the trim level and the country
in which the vehicle is sold.
Driver’s side

Follow these recommendations as closely as
possible depending on the driver's stature.
Sit fully back in the seat with your pelvis, back
and shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.
Adjust the seat cushion height so that your eyes
are level with the centre of the windscreen.
Adjust the longitudinal position of the seat so
that you can fully depress the pedals with legs
slightly flexed.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is
level with the top of the head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.
Adjust the lumbar support so that it conforms to
the shape of the spine.
Adjust the steering wheel reach so that you can
hold it with your arms slightly bent.
Adjust the steering wheel height so that it does
not obstruct the information displayed on the
instrument panel.
As a safety precaution, adjust the seats only when the vehicle is stationary.
Electrically-adjustable seats
Switch the ignition on to enable the
adjustments to be made.
Passenger’s side

Sit fully back in the seat with the pelvis, back and
shoulders in contact with the seat backrest.

the passenger side.
►

Press button
6-SYNC to activate/deactivate
the function.
The function is automatically deactivated if the
passenger uses their temperature adjustment
buttons.
Automatic air conditioning
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-AUTO to activate/deactivate
the automatic mode of the air conditioning
system.
The indicator lamp in the button lights up
when the air conditioning system is operating
automatically.
The intensity of the automatic air conditioning
is modulated by choosing one of the following
settings:
–

AUT
O SOFT : provides soft and quiet
operation by limiting air flow.
–

AUT
O NORMAL: offers the best compromise
between a comfortable temperature and quiet
operation (default setting).
–

AUT
O FAST: provides dynamic and efficient
air distribution.
To change the AUTO mode, press button
5-AUTO successively.
To ensure passenger comfort in the rear seats,
favour settings AUTO NORMAL and AUTO
FAST.
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.

Ease of use and comfort
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, if necessary,
activates interior air recirculation.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
Once the function is deactivated, the system
returns to the previous settings.
Switching off the air
conditioning system
► Press button 12-OFF.
Its indicator lamp lights up and all the other
indicator lamps of the air conditioning system
go off.
This action deactivates all of the 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).
This function is activated automatically when the front screenwash is used or
reverse gear is engaged.
Front demisting/defrosting
This mode allows the windscreen and side windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly
as possible.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the mode (confirmed by the illumination/
extinction of the
indicator lamp).
The mode automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow, air intake and distributes
ventilation optimally to the windscreen and side
windows.
The air flow can be changed manually without
deactivating this mode.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, STOP mode is not
available.
In wintry conditions, before moving off, it
is essential to remove any snow or ice
from the windscreen around the camera.
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment
using the camera may be affected.
Heated windscreen

In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the area alongside
the left-hand windscreen pillar.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
