system.  
For example, it is possible to deactivate or  
modify the intensity of the current massage  
by pressing the massage activation button on  
the seat or activate / deactivate the passenger  
compartment ambience lighting from the  
Driving / Vehicle menu.  
►ꢀ Operate the air conditioning system for at  
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to  
keep it in good working order.  
►ꢀ If the system does not produce cold air,  
switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
In this case, the new settings will not be saved

2. Front side window demisting/de-icing vents  
3. Adjustable and closable side air vents  
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents  
5. Air outlets to the front footwells  
The air circulating in the passenger compartment  
is filtered and originates either from the  
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the  
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation  
mode.  
Avoid driving for too long with the  
ventilation off or with prolonged operation  
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and  
deterioration of the air quality!  
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells  
7. Adjustable and closable air vents, with blower

Controls  
If the interior temperature is very high  
after the vehicle has stood for a long  
time in the sunshine, air the passenger  
compartment for a few moments.  
Put the air flow control at a setting high  
enough to quickly change the air in the  
passenger compartment.  
Depending on version, the controls are accessible  
in the Climate touch screen menu or are grouped  
together on the centre console panel.  
Advice  
Using the ventilation and air conditioning  
system  
►ꢀ 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.  
Condensation created by the air  
conditioning results in a discharge of  
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly  
normal.
