– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– to isolate the passenger compart-

ment from the external atmosphere

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

– to bring the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

as possible.

A warning light illuminates on the 6

button to confirm its operation.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

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.

We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air

recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the 6 button.

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

In automatic mode, the system uses

the most suitable amount of air to reach

and maintain the desired comfort level.

Adjusting the air temperature

Turn control 3 to obtain the desired

temperature.

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.

When starting the engine, increas-

ing or decreasing the value dis-

played will not allow the com-

fort level to be reached any more

quickly. The system will always op-

timise the temperature increase or

decrease (the ventilation system

does not start instantly at maximum

speed: it gradually increases). This

may take several minutes.

Note: the highest and lowest settings

allow the system to produce maximum

hot or cold temperature levels (“Lo” and

“Hi”).

You can still adjust the ventilation

speed by turning control 1 to increase

or reduce the ventilation speed.

Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-

ing in polluted areas, etc.);

This function is managed automatically

but you can also activate it manually. In

this case, operation is confirmed by a

warning light above button 7.

– bringing the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

Fuel consumption increases when

the air conditioning is being used

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

3.12

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)

Advice on use

Maintenance

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an oper-

ating fault.

In some situations, (air conditioning

off, air recirculation activated, ventila-

tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may

notice that condensation starts to form

on the windows and windscreen.

If there is condensation, use the “Clear

View” function to remove it, then use

the air conditioning in automatic mode

to stop it forming again.

Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection fre-

quency.

– Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passen-

ger compartment filter cartridge be-

coming clogged.

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in

fuel consumption (especially in town)

when the air conditioning is operating.

For vehicles fitted with air conditioning

with no automatic mode, switch off the

system when it is not required.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set cor-

rectly and that the fuses are sound.

Otherwise, switch off the system.

Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment

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

vehicle

After prolonged use of the air condi-

tioning system, it is normal for water

to be present under the vehicle. This is

caused by condensation.

Vehicles equipped with mode

ECO

Once activated, ECO mode may

reduce automatic air conditioning

performance ➥ 2.27.

Do not add anything to the

vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove

bad odours).

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Use the air conditioning system reg-

ularly, even in cold weather, running

it at least once a month for approxi-

mately 5 minutes.

There is a risk of damage or of

fire.

If the roof will not close, please consult

an authorised dealer.

As a general rule, if there is a load

on the roof, use of the sunroof is not

recommended.

Before using the sunroof, check the

objects and/or accessories (bike

racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to

the roof bars: they should be prop-

erly arranged and secured and

should not interfere with the opera-

tion of the sunroof.

Contact an approved dealer for de-

tails on possible conversions.

– Check that the sunroof is properly

closed when leaving your vehicle;

– clean the seal every three months

using products recommended by our

Technical Department;

– do not open the sunroof immedi-

ately after it has rained or immedi-

ately after washing the vehicle.
