Ease of use and comfort
managed in the ambience, without going via
the DS SENSORIAL DRIVE function.
Air distribution
►ꢀ Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
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
as part of the current ambience.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Heating and Ventilation
Air intake
1. Windscreen demisting/de-icing vents
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
(depending on version)
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.
