Centre and side air vents

To direct the air flow, swivel side air

vent 10.

Air flow

To open the air vent 10, press on the

air vent (point 11) until it is open as far

as required.

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.

speed.

Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further

to the right it is positioned, the more air

is blown into the passenger compart-

ment. If you want to shut off the flow of

air completely and stop the system, set

control 3 to 0.

Information and advice on use: refer

to information on “Air conditioning: in-

formation and advice on use”.

Controls

The system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed for the passenger compart-

ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),

you can however still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

The controls will depend on the vehicle

equipment level.

2 Switching air conditioning on or off.

3 Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.

4 De-icing/demisting of the rear screen

5 Air temperature adjuster.

6 Switching passenger compartment

isolation mode/air recirculation mode

Leaving this control in position 0 for

prolonged periods can lead to con-

densation forming on the side win-

dows and windscreen and problems

due to the use of non-renewed air in

the passenger compartment.

With the engine running,

press button 4 (the warning light comes

on).

This function de-ices/demists the rear

screen and the electric de-icing rear-

view mirrors (depending on the vehi-

cle).

Depending on the vehicle, the function

is stopped:

– automatically after it has been run-

ning for 12 minutes (the indicator

light goes out);

Air recirculation is used to:

Switching passenger

compartment isolation mode/

air recirculation mode on.

– to isolate the passenger compart-

ment from the external atmosphere

(e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);

Bring lever 6 to position â.

– to bring the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

as possible.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

– by pressing button 4 again (the warn-

ing light goes out).

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side

windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in

the passenger compartment.

You are therefore advised to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the

air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control 6 to the right.

3.5

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (3/3)

Switching air conditioning on

1

3

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator

light extinguished) using button 2.

Activation is not possible if control 3 is

set to 0.

The air conditioning system is used

for:

– lower the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminate condensation more quickly.

The air conditioning does not operate

when the exterior temperature is low.

The air flow is mainly distrib-

uted between the front and

rear footwells and the dashboard vents.

Close the dashboard vents to direct all

the air to the foot wells.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

F

Turn control 1 to choose the distribution

option.

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting air vents,

the windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

J

i

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard vents and the

footwells.

G

All the air is then directed to

the windscreen and front side

window demisting vents.

W

Fuel consumption increases when

the air conditioning is being used

(switch it off when it is not required).

3.6

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption

Operating faults

You will normally notice an increase

in fuel consumption (especially

when driving in town) when the air

conditioning is operating.

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.

For vehicles fitted with air condition-

ing with no automatic mode, switch

off the system when it is not re-

quired.

This may be caused by the pas-

senger compartment filter car-

tridge becoming clogged.

Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the envi-

ronment

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set

correctly and that the fuses are

sound. Otherwise, switch off the

system.

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.

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.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection

frequency.

3.7

ADDITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING

1

3

2

When fitted, the vehicle has four adjust-

able air vents 1 and an air-conditioning

control 2.

Heating and air conditioning

system

Move control 2 to vary the amount of

cold air required.

The amount of air can only be adjusted

if the basic air conditioning is operating

(button 3).

Air is taken from the passenger com-

partment and is recirculated without

taking in air from the outside.

Button 3 has an operating warning

light:

– indicator light on, the function is

switched on;

– indicator light off, the function is

switched off.

From the front passenger

seat

Turn the handle 1 to lower or raise the

window to the desired height.

With the ignition on, press the switch

to lower the window to the required

level;

Operate switch 6.

Lift the switch to raise the window to the

desired height.

From the driver’s seat

Operate the switches as follows:

– 2 for the driver’s side;

– 3 for the front passenger side;

– 4 and 5 for the rear passengers.

Avoid resting any objects against a

half-open window: there is a risk that

the electric window winder could be

damaged.

Closing windows can cause

serious injury.

3.9

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (2/3)

8

From the rear seats

Operate switch 7.

Safety of rear occupants

The driver can prevent operation of the rear electric windows by press-

ing switch 8.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave

a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while. They may pose a risk to

themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the

electric windows or by locking the doors. If any part of the body becomes trapped,

reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the relevant switch.

Risk of serious injury.

3.10

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (3/3)

One-touch windows

Operating faults

When the vehicle is equipped with this

function, the one-touch mode works in

addition to the operation of the electric

windows described previously.

In case of a fault when closing a window,

the system reverts to normal mode: pull

the switch concerned up to fully close

the window, then hold the switch (still

on the closure side) for three seconds

then lower and raise the window fully to

reinitialise the system.

It is only fitted to the driver’s window.

– Fully and briefly press down on the

relevant switch down: the window

will open completely.

If necessary, contact an approved

Dealer.

– Fully and briefly lift the relevant

switch: the window will close com-

pletely.

Pressing the switch again while the

window is moving will stop its move-

ment.

Special features

If the window detects resistance when

closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of a tree,

etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a

few centimetres.

If you use the switch while the window

is moving, it stops working.

Avoid resting any objects against

a half-open window: there is a risk

that the electric window could be

damaged.

Closing windows can cause

serious injury.

port luggage or additional equipment

(bike racks, ski racks, etc):

For information on the range of

equipment adapted to your ve-

hicle, we advise you to consult

an approved Dealer. Refer to the

manufacturer’s instructions for in-

formation on how to fit and operate

the equipment.

– on a roof rack;

– on transverse roof bars fitted onto

the longitudinal roof bars 1;
