The soft diffusion grille located in the centre of the dashboard provides an optimum air

To close the soft air diffusion grille, move the control knob all the way down.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

Ge Ne RAL

you are advised to use the auto-

matic air conditioning regulation.

This automatically regulates the

following functions for maximum

comfort : air ﬂow, passenger com-

partment temperature, and air dis-

tribution, using different sensors

(external temperature, sunlight).

This avoids the need to alter any of

the settings, with the exception of

the temperature displayed.

To ensure the correct operation of

the air conditioning system, it is

essential to operate the air condi-

tioning at least once a month.

The air conditioning operates by

using power from the engine. This

results in a slight increase in fuel

consumption.

In certain extreme operating con-

ditions (e.g. carrying a full load up

a steep gradient in high tempera-

tures), the switching off of the air

conditioning allows more power

to be transferred to the engine,

thereby increasing the towing

capacity.

air circulation

For your comfort we advise you to

maintain a proper distribution of air

within the cabin, both at the front

and at the rear.

To obtain an even distribution of

air, ensure that you do not obstruct

the external air inlet grille located

at the base of the windscreen, the

air vents, the air outlets on the ﬂoor

underneath the front seats, and

the air extractor located behind the

ﬂaps in the boot.

The front and rear air vents are ﬁt-

ted with control knobs which allow

you to control and direct the air

ﬂow. It is recommended to keep all

the air vents open.

iii

Take care not to obstruct the sun-

light sensor a.

Provided you retain automatic

mode (by pressing button “aUTO”)

and all the air vents are open, you

will maintain an optimum comfort

level, also removing humidity and

misting, whatever the ambient cli-

matic conditions.

The temperature inside the cabin

cannot be lower than the tempera-

ture outside if the air conditioning

is not operating.

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 tem-

perature is excessive, air the pas-

senger compartment by opening

the windows for a few moments,

then close them again.

air inlet

Check that the exterior grille for the

air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-

screen, is clean and free of dead

leaves, snow, etc.

If washing the vehicle with a high

pressure jet, avoid targeting the air

inlet zone.

Dust/pollen ﬁlter

There is a ﬁlter for excluding pollen

and dust.

This ﬁlter has to be changed accord-

ingtothevehiclemaintenancesched-
