MULTI-SENSE

(1/2)

The Multi-Sense system enables once

of five modes to be selected which, de-

pending on the vehicle, affect the drive,

the light environment, the comfort and

the engine noise:

– modes Comfort , Neutral, Eco and

Sport are preset and associated with

customisable light environments and

engine noise;

– mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:

– power-assisted steering;

– engine and gearbox responsiveness;

– heating level.
They also affect the:

– passenger compartment and instru-

ment panel lighting;

– instrument panel and multifunction

screen information;

– engine noise;

– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the

mode set at the time the engine was

last switched off.

Mode Comfort

This mode favours smooth steering.

The interior environment is softened.

Mode Neutral

Default mode, mode Neutral selects the

vehicle factory settings.

Mode Eco

Mode Eco is geared towards saving

energy and the environment. The

steering is smooth, engine and gearbox

management enable fuel consumption

to be lowered. Air conditioning is man-

aged to be used only when necessary.
Please refer to the information on

“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in

Section 2.

MULTI-SENSE

(2/2)

Sport mode

This mode enables an increased re-

sponsiveness from the engine and the

gearbox. The steering is firmer.

Mode Perso

This mode enables you to manually

configure the drive, light environment

and, depending on the vehicle, the

comfort and engine noise.

Stopping the engine in Sport

mode, or Perso mode with engine

setting in Sport mode.
When you restart the vehicle, a mes-

sage asks you if you wish to keep

the engine setting in Sportmode.

Accessing the menu

You can access Multi-Sense, depend-

ing on the vehicle:

– from the multifunction screen 1.

Select menu “Vehicle” then “Multi-

Sense”;

– using switch 2;

– using button Eco 3 which automati-

cally launches Eco mode and opens

the “Multi-Sense” menu on the multi-

function screen 1 for a few seconds.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(1/3)

Switching air conditioning on

or off

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)

using the control 3.

The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

Indicators

The following indicators are displayed

on the multimedia screen A:
8 Air temperature.
9 Active mode.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/3)

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Turn control 5 to choose the distribution

option.
The air distribution is displayed on the

multimedia screen.

õ

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen and the front side

window demisting vents.

÷

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting vents, the

windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

ó

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

G

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard air vents, the

front footwells and, depending on the

vehicle, the second row footwells.

J

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

5

Adjusting the air temperature

Turn control 1 to obtain the desired

temperature. The more bars are dis-

played on the multimedia screen, the

higher the temperature.
When the air conditioning system is

used for long periods, it may begin to

feel cold. To increase the temperature,

turn control 1 to the right.

Rear screen de-icing/

demisting

With the engine running, press the

control 2. The operating tell-tale comes

on.
This function permits rapid demisting/

de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing

of the door mirrors (on equipped vehi-

cles).
To exit this function, press the con-

trol 2 again.

Demisting automatically stops.

Clear View function

Press the control 1: the integrated indi-

cator light in the button comes on.

This function quickly demists and de-

ices the windscreen, the rear screen,

the front side windows, and the exte-

rior rear view mirrors (depending on the

vehicle). The air conditioning and rear

screen de-icing functions must be ac-

tivated.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(3/3)

Varying the ventilation speed

You can adjust the fan speed by press-

ing the controls 6 or 7 to increase or

reduce the fan speed.

The system is deactivated (OFF): the

ventilation speed is zero (vehicle sta-

tionary). You can, however, still feel

a slight flow of air when the vehicle is

moving.

Stopping the system

To switch off the system, press the

control 7 several times until the mes-

sage “OFF” appears on the multimedia

screen.
You may, however, feel a slight flow of

air when the vehicle is moving.

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and discomfort due

to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air)

as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the control 4 again.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press the control 4: the integrated in-

dicator light in the button comes on.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle. Air recircula-

tion operates as follows:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system

guarantees comfort in the passen-

ger compartment and good visibility

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), while optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recirculation,

and starting and stopping the air condi-

tioning and air temperature.
This mode consists of a choice of three

programmes:
NORMAL : allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 4

or key 9.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort

level more gently and silently. Press

button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the

passenger compartment. This mode

is recommended in particular to opti-

mise comfort in the rear seats. Press

button 10.

Varying the ventilation speed

In automatic mode, the system uses

the most suitable amount of air to reach

and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed

by pressing buttons 11 or 18 or by slid-

ing your finger in zone 20.

Temperature adjustment

There are two types of settings:

– uniform passenger compartment

setting;

– DUAL function setting to independ-

ently adjust the left and right sides.

Uniform passenger compartment

setting

Use control 7.

DUAL function setting

Press button 15 to activate. Use con-

trol 7 to adjust the left side and control 2

for the right side.

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-

ing or decreasing the value dis-

played will not allow the com-

fort level to be reached any more

quickly. The system will always op-

timise the temperature increase or

decrease (the ventilation system

does not start instantly at maximum

speed: it gradually increases). This

may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

Manual use
Press button 5 to force air recirculation.
Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.
We advise you to return to automatic

longer needed, by pressing key 16 or

button 5 again.
To exit this function, press key 16 or

Adjusting the distribution

of air in the passenger

compartment

Press buttons 12 to select the desired

distribution (a warning light is displayed

Ø

The air flow is mainly directed

to the demisting vents for the

windscreen and the side windows.

½

The air flow is mainly directed

to the dashboard air vents.

¿

The air flow is directed mainly

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

Air recirculation

This function is managed automatically

but you can also activate it manually.

Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the exter-

nal atmosphere to be cut off (when

driving in polluted areas, etc.) and

to cool the passenger compartment

temperature more quickly.
