Rear screen de-icing/

demisting

With the engine running, press

button B, the operating tell-tale for the

button will come 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 button B

again.
Demisting automatically stops by de-

fault.

adjusting the ventilation

speed

Turn control C from 0 to 4.
The passenger compartment is ven-

tilated by blown air. The blower deter-

mines how much air enters but vehicle

speed has a slight effect on this.
The further the control is positioned to

the right, the greater the amount of air

blown into the passenger compartment.

air recirculation operation

(isolation of the passenger

compartment)

Turn control D towards air recirculation

symbol

â

.

In these conditions air is taken from the

passenger compartment and is recircu-

lated, with no air being taken from out-

side the vehicle.

air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– bringing the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

as possible.

Prolonged use of this position (iso-

lation mode) may mist up the win-

dows slightly or cause odours due

to the air not being renewed.

It is therefore advisable to return to

normal operation (external air) by

pressing control D when you have

passed through the polluted area.

air conditioning control

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)

using button E.
The system

cannot be switched on if

control C is set to 0.
The air conditioning system is used for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

Use the air recirculation function to

lower the temperature as quickly as

possible to the required level. Switch

off the air recirculation function once a

comfortable level has been reached.
note: the air conditioning may be used

in all conditions but does not operate

when the external temperature is low.

In automatic mode (AUTO lit on the

the system.
When you modify certain functions,

AUTO goes out. Only the modified

function stops being controlled by

the system.

To reach and keep the chosen comfort

level and to maintain good visibility, the

system controls:
– ventilation speed;
– air distribution;
– air recirculation management;
– air conditioning start/stop;
– the air temperature.

adjusting automatic mode

The system normally operates in auto-

matic mode but you can alter the stand-

ard settings used by the system (air

distribution, etc.). These options are

explained on the following pages.

automatic mode is the recom-

mended mode of use
In most cases, the automatic cli-

mate control system ensures a com-

fortable temperature in the passen-

ger compartment, while maintaining

good visibility and optimising fuel

consumption.
The types of adjustments that can

be made are described in the follow-

ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon

as possible.

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.

In automatic mode, depending on

the outside air conditions, the ven-

maximum power but will increase

progressively until the engine tem-

passenger compartment air. This

may take from a few seconds to

several minutes.

In automatic mode, the system switches

the air conditioning system on or off,

depending on the climate conditions.

Press button 1; indicator lights 2 and 13

come on.
AUTO goes out on display 5.
This function rapidly demists/de-ices

the windscreen, the front side windows

and the door mirrors.
It imposes automatic operation of the

air conditioning and heating of the rear

screen and/or heated door mirrors, and

inhibits air recirculation.

Press button 12 if you do not wish to

switch on the heated rear screen and/

or heated door mirrors.
note: if you wish to reduce the air flow

(which may produce a certain amount

of noise in the passenger compart-

ment), press button 6.
to exit this function, press:
– button 1 again;
– or button 4 (AUTO lights up on dis-

play 5).

air recirculation

Pressing button 14 activates air recir-

culation (the symbol lights up on the

display).
During recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and is re-

cycled, with no air being taken from out-

side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external at-

mosphere to be cut off (when driving in

polluted areas, etc.).

Prolonged use of the air recircula-

to mist up or lead to odours, as the

air is not renewed.
We therefore advise you to return

to normal mode (external air) as

soon as the air recirculation function

is no longer required, by pressing

button 14 again.

aiR ConDitioning: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase

in fuel consumption (especially

when driving in town) when the air

conditioning is operating. For vehi-

cles fitted with manual air condition-

ing, switch off the system when it is

not required.
advice for reducing consumption

and therefore helping to preserve

the environment:
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

frequency.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

note
Presence of water under the ve-

hicle. After prolonged use of the air

conditioning system, it is normal for

water to be present under the vehi-

cle. This is caused by condensation.

operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved Dealer in the event of an op-

erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist-

ing or air conditioning per-

formance. This may be caused

by the passenger compartment

filter cartridge becoming clogged.

– no cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set

correctly and that the fuses are

sound. Otherwise, switch off the

system.

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.

(lowering the window only)
Press switch 1 or 2 down briefly: the

window will open completely.
Pressing the switch again while the

window is moving will stop its move-

ment.

Avoid resting any objects against a

half-open window: there is a risk that

the electric window winder could be

damaged.

1

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle

with the key or remote con-

trol inside and never leave a

child (or a pet) unsupervised, even

for a short while. The reason for this

is that the child may endanger him-

self or others by starting the engine

and activating equipment such as

the window winders or the sunroof.

If any part of the body becomes

trapped, reverse the direction of the

window immediately by pressing the

relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.

2

operating faults

window fails to close and/or battery

disconnected
The system has to be reinitialised:
With the door closed and the ignition

switched on,
– Raise the window fully and keep the

button pressed for 2 seconds after it

has stopped moving.

– Lower the window fully and keep the

button pressed for 2 seconds after it

has stopped moving.

If necessary, contact an authorised

dealer.
if the window closes or opens jerk-

ily, the system is faulty.
Press the button to close the window as

many times as necessary and contact

an authorised dealer.

Nothing should be placed

on the floor area in front of

the driver as such objects

may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

Ensure that no hard, heavy

or pointed objects are

placed in the “open” storage

compartments in such a

way that they may fall onto passen-

gers during sudden turning, braking

or in the event of an accident.

When turning corners,

ensure that the recepta-
