If the interior temperature is very high

after the vehicle has stood for a long

time in the sunshine, air the passenger

compartment for a few moments.

Put the air ﬂow control at a setting high

enough to quickly change the air in the

passenger compartment.

The air circulating in the passenger compartment

is ﬁltered and originates either from the

exterior, via the grille located at the base of the

windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation

mode.

Advice

Using the ventilation and air

conditioning system

► To ensure that air is distributed evenly,

keep the external air intake grilles at the base

of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the

air outlets and the air extractor in the boot

free from obstructions.

Controls

Condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of

water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly

normal.

Depending on version, the controls are

accessible in the touch screen or are

grouped together on the centre console panel.
