Air vents  
Air conditioning  
Sensors  
The air vents to the face have grilles  
and thumb wheels to adjust the air  
ow and direction (up-down, right-  
left).  
To ensure that your system operates  
correctly, it is recommended that you  
have it checked regularly.  
Water arising from condensation  
in the air conditioning drains away  
through a hole provided for this pur-  
pose. A pool of water may thus form  
under the vehicle when stationary.  
To preserve the sealing of the air  
conditioning compressor, operate  
the air conditioning at least once a  
month.  
III  
Air circulation  
Air vents on the oor underneath the  
front seats provide enhanced heat-  
ing for the rear seat positions; take  
care not to obstruct them.  
Regardless of the season, the air  
conditioning is useful, since it re-  
moves humidity and condensation.  
To be effective, the air conditioning  
should only be used with the win-  
dows closed.  
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight  
the interior temperature is excessive,  
air the passenger compartment by  
opening the windows for a few mo-  
ments, then close them again.  
The automatic regulation of the air  
conditioning in the passenger com-  
partment uses a number of sensors  
(sunshine sensor, ambient tempera-  
ture sensor...) that relieve you of the  
need to make frequent adjustments to  
the displayed temperature.  
Take care not to obstruct the sun-  
shine sensor, located on the dash-  
board behind the instrument panel.  
Dust filter/Odour filter (active  
carbon)  
There is a lter for excluding odours  
and dust.  
This lter has to be changed in ac-  
cordance with the vehicle's servicing  
schedule (see the servicing booklet).  
The air conditioning operates by  
using power from the engine. This  
results in a slight increase in fuel  
consumption.  
57  
 
C O M F O R T  
The level of air ow is shown by the  
progressive lighting of the warning  
lamps depicting the fan blades 1.  
By reducing the ow to minimum,  
you deactivate the air conditioning  
system (OFF).  
To maintain an acceptable level of  
comfort in the passenger compart-  
ment, you should not leave this con-  
trol too long in the OFF position.
