Ease of use and comfort

of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and

deterioration of the air quality!

Stop & Start

This system works with the engine running, but

access to the ventilation and its controls remains

possible with the ignition on.

The heating and air conditioning systems

only operate when the engine is running.

Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start

system to maintain a comfortable temperature

in the passenger compartment.

For more information on the Stop &

Start system, refer to the corresponding

section.

Press the Climate application button to

display the system controls page.

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.

Rechargeable hybrid vehicles

Intensive use of the air conditioning

reduces the vehicle range in Electric mode.

Condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of

water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly

normal.

Ventilation with the ignition on

When the ignition is switched on, the ventilation

system and the air ﬂow 2 and air distribution

3 settings in the passenger compartment are

activated, for a period which depends on the

battery charge.

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. Its speciﬁc active additive

helps protect against polluting gases and bad

smells.

► To ensure correct operation of the

air conditioning system, have it checked

according to the recommendations in the

Manufacturer’s service schedule.

Without i-Toggles

This function does not include the air

conditioning system.

temperature is much colder or warmer than

the comfort setting requested, there is no

need to alter the value displayed to more

quickly reach the required level of comfort.

The system automatically corrects the

temperature diﬀerence as quickly as possible.

Automatic air conditioning

This automatic mode ensures optimum

management of the passenger compartment

temperature, air ﬂow and air distribution, based

on the selected comfort level.

► Press button 5-AUTO to activate/deactivate

the automatic mode of the air conditioning

system.

The indicator lamp in the button lights up

when the air conditioning system is operating

automatically.

The intensity of the automatic air conditioning

is modulated by choosing one of the following

settings:

– AUTO SOFT: provides soft and quiet

operation by limiting air ﬂow.

– AUTO NORMAL: oﬀers the best compromise

between a comfortable temperature and quiet

operation (default setting).

– AUTO FAST: provides dynamic and eﬃcient

air distribution.

Temperature adjustment

The driver and front passenger can each choose

their own temperature setting.

The value indicated corresponds to a level of

comfort and not to a precise temperature.

Depending on version:

► Turn one of the knobs 1 towards + or - to

increase or decrease the value.

► Press one of the buttons 1 (+ or -) or drag

vertically to increase or decrease the value.

It is possible to go beyond the minimum and

maximum values by selecting respectively Low

Air conditioning on/oﬀ

The air conditioning system is designed to

operate eﬀectively in all seasons, with the

windows closed:

– It lowers the temperature in summer.

– It increase the eﬀectiveness of the demisting,

in winter, above 3°C.

► Press button 4-A/C to switch the air

conditioning on/oﬀ.

AQS function

Using an exterior pollution sensor, this function

automatically activates the recirculation of

interior air when a certain level of pollutants in

the exterior air is detected.

When the air quality returns to a satisfactory

level, recirculation of interior air is automatically

deactivated.

Switching oﬀ the air conditioning

system

When the air ﬂow is reduced to a minimum,

ventilation stops.

“OFF" is displayed alongside the fan.

This function is not designed to detect

unpleasant odours.

Recirculation is automatically activated when the

windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear

is engaged.

The function is inactive if the outside temperature

is below 5°C to prevent the risk of misting on the

windscreen and side windows.

When the system is switched on, the indicator

lamp in the button comes on or “A/C” changes

colour (depending on version).

Adjusting the air distribution

► Press the buttons 3 to adjust the air ﬂow

distribution inside the passenger compartment.

air recirculation for a brief period. Then return

to the intake of exterior air.

Central and side air vents

Footwells

Clean Air function

Switching oﬀ the air conditioning may result in

some discomfort (humidity or misting).

Using an interior pollution sensor, this function

detects ﬁne particles (e.g. cigarette smoke,

mould, bacteria).

The management of the recirculation of interior

air makes it possible to return to a puriﬁed

passenger compartment in just a few minutes,

thanks to the passage of air through the high-

performance passenger compartment ﬁlter.

A symbol is activated to display the presence of

blown air in the direction indicated.

It is possible to activate all three buttons

simultaneously, for uniform distribution

throughout the passenger compartment.

Maximum air conditioning

This function automatically adjusts the

temperature setting to the lowest possible, the

air distribution towards the central and side air

vents, the air ﬂow to maximum and, if necessary,

activates interior air recirculation.

Ease of use and comfort

► Press this button to activate/deactivate

the function (conﬁrmed by the

illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).

Once the function is deactivated, the system

returns to the previous settings.

This function is activated automatically

when the front screenwash is used or

reverse gear is engaged.

Rear screen demisting/

defrosting

This demisting/defrosting only works with the

engine running.

Front demisting

- defrosting

Depending on version, it also demists/defrosts

the doors mirrors.

Switching oﬀ the air

conditioning system

► Press button 12-OFF.

Its indicator lamp lights up and all the other

indicator lamps of the air conditioning system

go oﬀ.

This action deactivates all of the functions of the

air conditioning system.

The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight

ﬂow of air can still be felt, due to the forward

movement of the vehicle.

► Press this button to activate/deactivate

the function (conﬁrmed by the

illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).

The function can be activated whatever the

outside temperature may be.

The period of operation depends on the outside

temperature.

Demisting/defrosting therefore switches

oﬀ automatically to prevent an excessive

consumption of electrical current.

This mode allows the windscreen and side

windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly

as possible.

► Press this button to activate/deactivate

the mode (conﬁrmed by the illumination/

extinction of the indicator lamp).

The mode automatically manages the air

conditioning, air ﬂow, air intake and distributes

ventilation optimally to the windscreen and side

windows.

The air ﬂow can be changed manually without

deactivating this mode.

Heated windscreen

Interior air recirculation

The intake of exterior air prevents the formation

of mist on the windscreen and side windows.

Recirculating the interior air isolates the

passenger compartment from outside odours

and fumes and allows the desired passenger

compartment temperature to be achieved more

rapidly.

► Press this button to activate/deactivate

the function (conﬁrmed by the

illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).

With Stop & Start, when demisting has

been activated, STOP mode is not

available.

remove all snow or ice on the windscreen

near the camera.

Otherwise, the operation of the equipment

using the camera may be aﬀected.

In cold weather, this function heats the entire

windscreen and complements the Automatic

Visibility programme to speed up the evacuation

of elements that interfere with visibility (e.g. dew,
