Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press the button 2: the warning light B

comes on. In these conditions, air is

taken from the passenger compartment

and is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/3)

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 button 6 again.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Turn control 8 to choose the distribution

option.
The air distribution is displayed on the

indicator D.

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.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(1/6)

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.

AUTO: allows the selected com-

fort level to be best attained, depend-

ing on the exterior conditions. Press

button 7. The integrated indicator light

on button 7 comes on.

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 fan speed by

pressing the buttons 6 to increase or

reduce the fan speed.

In this case, the integrated indicator

light on button 7 goes out and the ven-

tilation speed selected is displayed on

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(2/6)

Temperature adjustment

There are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment

setting;

– adjustment in DUAL function to inde-

pendently adjust the left and/or right-

hand side of the passenger compart-

ment.

Uniform passenger compartment

setting
Use control 2.

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.

DUAL function setting
Press button 12 to activate.
Use the control 2 to adjust the left side

and control 10 for the right side.

3.12

Manual use
Pressing the button 9 allows air recir-

culation to be forced. In this case, the

integrated warning light comes on and

the indicator D goes out.
Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-

tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-

tion is no longer needed, by pressing

button 9.

Stopping the system

To stop the system, press the button 1

OFF (the integrated warning light

comes on) or, depending on the ve-

hicle, reduce the fan speed down to

a minimum by pressing the button 6

marked by OFF as many times as is

necessary.
To start, press the switch 7.

Recycling

This function is managed automati-

cally (operation is confirmed by warn-

ing light D), 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 external

atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-

ing in polluted areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions

(1/2)

Do not add anything to the

vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove

bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of

fire.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in

fuel consumption (especially in town)

when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning

with no automatic mode, switch off the

system when it is not required.

Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment

Drive with the air vents open and the

windows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few moments

to let the hot air escape before starting

the engine.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection fre-

quency.

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an oper-

ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passen-

ger compartment filter cartridge be-

coming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set cor-

rectly and that the fuses are sound.

Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the

vehicle

After prolonged use of the air condi-

tioning system, it is normal for water

to be present under the vehicle. This is

caused by condensation.

Advice on use

In some situations (air conditioning off,

air recirculation activated, ventilation

speed at zero or low etc.), you may

notice that condensation starts to form

on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear

View” function to remove it, then use

the air conditioning in automatic mode

to stop it forming again.

Vehicles equipped with ECO

mode: once activated, ECO mode

may reduce the performance of the

air conditioning. Please refer to the

information on “Driving advice, Eco-

driving” in Section 2.

Use the air conditioning system reg-

ularly, even in cold weather, running

it at least once a month for approxi-

mately 5 minutes.

3.14

The refrigerant circuit may contain

fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Depending on the vehicle, you will find

the following information on label A af-

fixed inside the engine compartment.
The presence and location of the infor-

mation on label A depends on the ve-

hicle.
