Advice

Using the ventilation and air conditioning

system

Controls

Depending on version, the controls are accessible

in the "Air conditioning" touch screen menu or

are grouped together in the control panel on the

centre console.

►ꢀ 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.

►ꢀ Do not cover the sunshine sensor located

on the dashboard; this sensor is used to

regulate the automatic air conditioning

system.

►ꢀ Operate the air conditioning system for at

least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to

keep it in perfect working order.

►ꢀ If the system does not produce cold air,

switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of

water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly

normal.

Air distribution

Servicing the ventilation and air

conditioning system

►ꢀ Ensure that the passenger compartment

filter is in good condition and have the filter

elements replaced regularly.

We recommend using a composite passenger

compartment filter. Thanks to its special

active additive, this type of filter helps to

purify the air breathed by the occupants

and keep the passenger compartment clean

(by reducing allergic symptoms, unpleasant

odours and greasy deposits).

►ꢀ To ensure correct operation of the

air conditioning system, have it checked

according to the recommendations in the

Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

When towing the maximum load on a steep

gradient in high temperatures, switching off

the air conditioning increases the available

engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
