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.  
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.  
Clean Air function  
Using an interior pollution sensor, this function  
detects fine particles (e.g. cigarette smoke,  
mould, bacteria).  
horizontally to increase or decrease air flow.  
It is also possible to directly press one of the  
values.  
In cold weather with the engine cold, the  
air flow is increased gradually until the  
comfort setting has been reached, in order to  
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger  
compartment.  
On entering the vehicle, if the interior  
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.

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  
highperformance passenger compartment filter.

been activated, STOP mode is not  
available.  
Interior air recirculation  
Air conditioning does not operate when the  
air flow is deactivated.  
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior  
air recirculation for a brief period. Then return  
to the intake of exterior air.  
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.  
In wintry conditions, before moving off, it is  
essential to remove any snow or ice from  
the windscreen around the camera.  
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment  
using the camera may be affected.  
Switching off the air conditioning may result in  
some discomfort (humidity or misting).  
Press this button to activate/  
deactivate the function (confirmed  
by the illumination/extinction of the  
indicator lamp).
