ACCESS

LOCKING/UNLOCKING

FROM THE INSIDE

A press on the control A operates

the electric central locking and

unlocking, provided all the doors

are closed.

ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION

When you start the vehicle, doors

and boot closed, the system

automatically locks the doors

as soon as you reach a speed of

around 10 km/h (6 mph).

III

Note: If a door has been opened,

this will lock again automatically

when the vehicle reaches approx.

10 km/h (6 mph).

It is still possible to open the doors

from the inside.

Remark: Control A is inactive if

the vehicle has been locked using

the remote control or the key.

The three statuses for locking/

unlocking the vehicle are signalled

by the warning lamp on the con-

trol A

Activation/Deactivation of

the anti-intrusion protection

Give a long press on control A for

central locking until you see a mes-

sage displayed.

ANTI-THEFT

The boot locks automatically

soon as the vehicle reaches a

speed of around 10 km/h (6 mph)

Note: The opening of a door or use

of the control A unlocks the vehicle.

•

It ﬂashes when the vehicle is

locked, engine stopped.

It lights up when the ignition is

switched on, vehicle locked.

It goes out when the vehicle is

unlocked.

Your vehicle is ﬁtted with doors that have frameless windows. When you open the doors, immediately you

action the exterior handle, a micro-descent device on the SIDE WINDOWS lowers the glass slightly.

If this device were not working properly, it could result in the windows breaking

If there should be a battery failure:

•

-

Open the doors gently.

Do not close the door abruptly as this risks breaking the window, if possible wait until the battery is

powering the vehicle again.

If you are intending to work on the battery, open the windows ﬁrst.

-

•

In freezing conditions, ice may form to hinder the operation of the micro-descent device. If the action

on the door handle does not move the window down, it is essential ﬁrst to free the ice.

82

ACCESS

To make it easier to open the doors,

the windows automatically open by

a few millimetres.

Note: This movement occurs imme-

diately you touch an interior door

handle.

A

III

The window recloses, automati-

cally adjusting for a perfect seal.

IMPORTANT

This function has no anti-pinch. Do

not leave your hand on the window

when you close the door.

Any interruption of your vehicle's

electrical supply will prevent the

windows from opening and closing

correctly.

ELECTRICALLY-CONTROLLED CHILD SAFETY

This deactivates the controls in the rear of the vehicle, both for the rear

windows and for opening the rear doors from the inside.

Remark: Travelling at high speed,

closing of windows may be hin-

dered by the aerodynamic pres-

sure. Acoustic comfort may then

be adversely affected.

For Pack Lounge seats, the seat slide adjustments, and those for the front

seats from the rear of the vehicle, are also deactivated.

Activation

The electric safety device is activated by pressing the control A located on

the windows control panel. A message appears to conﬁrm that the child

safety is activated.

It is still possible to open the doors from the outside and to operate the electric

windows from the front of the vehicle.

Before changing or repairing the battery, open all four

windows.

If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem

with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door with

the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to

the point of breaking it.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

AIR CONDITIONING

Air inlet

This system automatically adjusts the temperature, the

ﬂow of air and the distribution of air inside the cabin,

depending on your desired comfort level.

Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the

bottom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead

leaves, snow, etc.

III

Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button

"AUTO") and all the air vents are open, you will main-

tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity

and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.

If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid

targeting the air inlet zone.

Air circulation

The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than

the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not

operating.

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 be effective, the air conditioning should only be used

with the windows 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 moments, then close them again.

To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed,

it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least

once every month.

The air vents to the face have thumbwheels so that

you can adjust the ﬂow of air, and grilles to orient the

direction.

There are air vents on the ﬂoor underneath the front

seats and on the rear control panel, for enhanced heat-

ing of the rear seat positions.

Do not obstruct the air outlets located in the boot area.

The air conditioning operates by using power from the

engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-

sumption.

Dust/pollen ﬁlter

There is a ﬁlter for excluding pollen and dust.

This ﬁlter has to be changed according to the vehicle

maintenance schedule. See "Maintenance and Warranty

Guide".

Sensors

The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside

the cabin makes use of a number of sensors, relieving

you of the need to make adjustments, other than the

desired cabin temperature.

Take care not to obstruct sensor A.

86

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

The system has a differentiated adjustment for the driver's side and passenger's side, in terms of temperature and

air distribution. The air ﬂow is common to both sides.

Symbols and messages relating to the automatic air conditioning controls will display on the multifunction screen.

2. TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the temperature, press button 2a for the driver's

side and button 2b for the passenger's side.

An adjustment around 21 will give you the optimum

comfort level. However, depending on your preferences

anywhere between 18 and 24 is quite usual.

Operating the air conditioning system on "AUTO" u -

antees good ventilation inside the cabin.

Note: there may be a difference between the actual

cabin temperature and the ﬁgure displayed.

1. AUTOMATIC OPERATION

This is the normal operating mode for the system.

Depending on the temperature chosen, a press on this

button, conﬁrmed by the lighting of the warning lamp,

will automatically and simultaneously bring all the fol-

lowing functions into play:

•

Air ﬂow.

Cabin temperature.

Air distribution.

Exterior air intake/Air recirculation

It is recommended to keep all the air vents open. Just by

pressing any of the buttons, except for temperature 2a

and 2b, you can change to manual mode. The warning

lamp goes off, and the automatic air intake function is

deactivated.

87

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING

Remarks:

•

Manual mode

One or more functions can be adjusted manually, while

still retaining the other functions in automatic mode.

To return to "AUTO" mode, press button 1

When starting from cold, in order to prevent

unwanted cold air, the air ﬂow will increase only

gradually to its optimum level.

III

•

If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged

stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far

from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify

the temperature that is displayed as an attempt

to go immediately to the desired comfort level.

The system automatically uses all of its power to

compensate the temperature gap as quickly as

possible.

Stopping the air conditioning

Turn the control 4 to the left until the air ﬂow stops com-

pletely. The symbol "OFF" appears on the screen.

The display and the warning lamps go out, indicating

deactivation of all the functions, except for rear screen

demisting.

The comfort level (temperature, humidity, odour, misting)

is no longer controlled.

To reactivate the air conditioning, press button 1

Avoid travelling for too long with the air conditioning

deactivated.

Remarks:

•

Water arising from the condensation in the air

conditioning drains out through a hole provided

for this purpose; a pool of water may thus form

underneath the vehicle when stationary.

•

Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the

air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and

misting.

You are advised to have the air conditioning system

checked on a regular basis. See "Maintenance and

Warranty Guide".

If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside

temperatures are high, the air conditioning may be

temporarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.

88

3. ADJUSTING THE AIR DISTRIBUTION

Soft diffusion system

The soft diffusion air conditioning unit situated at the

centre of the front console guarantees optimum diffu-

sion of airr for the front seat positions.
