4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the

formation of mist on the windscreen

and side windows.

5. Air conditioning On / Off

The air conditioning is de-

signed to operate effectively

in all seasons, with the win-

dows closed.

It enables you to:
-

lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the

demisting in winter, above 3 °C.

Switching on
 Press the "A/C" button, the button's

indicator lamp comes on.

Switching off
 Press the "A/C" button again, the

button's indicator lamp goes off.

Switching off may affect comfort levels

(humidity, condensation).

The recirculation of interior air isolates

the passenger compartment from exte-

rior odours and smoke.

 Press the button to recir-

culate the interior air. The

indicator lamp comes on

to confi rm this.

 Press the button again to permit the

intake of exterior air. The indicator

lamp goes off to confi rm this.

possible to prevent deterioration of the

the air quality and the formation of mist.

The air conditioning does not

operate when the air fl ow adjust-

ment control 2 is in position " 0 ".
To obtain cooled air more quick-

ly, you can use recirculation of

interior air for a few moments.

Then return to fresh air intake.

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

Automatic operation

We recommend the use of

one of the three AUTO modes

available: they provide opti-

mised regulation of the tem-

perature in the passenger

compartment according to the comfort

value that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically ad-

just the air fl ow, according to the de-

sired setting, while also maintaining the

desired comfort value.

 Press the

"AUTO" button repeat-

edly:

- a

fi rst indicator lamp comes on; the

"light" setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes

on; the "medium" setting mode is

selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on;

the "intense" mode setting is se-

lected.

The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running.

When the engine is cold, the air

fl ow will reach its optimum level

progressively, taking account

of the weather and the desired

comfort level so as to avoid too

great a distribution of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the in-

terior temperature is much colder

or warmer than the comfort val-

ue, there is no need to change

the value displayed in order to

obtain the comfort required. The

system corrects the difference in

temperature automatically and

as quickly as possible.

1. Automatic comfort programme

This system is designed to operate ef-

fectively in all seasons, with the win-

dows closed.

until

"LO" is displayed or

to the right until "HI" is dis-

played.

See "Front demisting - defrosting".

4. Automatic visibility programme

Manual operation

If you wish, you can make a different

choice from that offered by the system

by changing a setting. The the "AUTO"

indicator lamps go off; the other func-

tions will still be controlled automati-

cally.
 Pressing the "AUTO" button returns

the system to completely automatic

operation.

2. Driver's side adjustment

The driver and front pas-

senger can each adjust the

temperature to their require-

ments.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to

the right respectively to decrease or

increase this value.

A setting around the value 21 provides

optimum comfort. However, depend-

ing on your requirements, a setting be-

tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right

setting difference of more than 3.

3. Passenger's side adjustment

The value indicated on the display cor-

responds to a level of comfort and not

to a temperature in degrees Celsius or

Fahrenheit.

With Stop & Start, when dem-

isting has been activated, the

STOP mode is not available.
