The automatic heating and air con-

In automatic mode (AUTO indicator

light on the display is lit), all heating

and air conditioning functions are

controlled by the system.

When you modify certain functions

the AUTO indicator light goes out.

Operation

The automatic mode is the system’s

normal operating mode (AUTO light on)

but you may alter the selections made

by the system (air distribution, etc.).

To reach and keep the chosen comfort

level and to maintain good visibility, the

system controls:

These options are explained on the fol-

lowing pages.

– ventilation speed;

– air distribution;

– air recirculation management;

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.

– air conditioning start/stop;

– the air temperature.

When the vehicle is started in cold

or hot weather, increasing or de-

creasing the values displayed does

not mean that the temperature level

is reached more quickly (the system

optimises the temperature increase

or decrease whatever the air tem-

perature indicated). The ventilation

does not start immediately at maxi-

mum power but increases progres-

sively: this may take between a few

seconds and several minutes.

This is the recommended mode

of use: the automatic heating and

air conditioning system guarantees

comfort (except in the event of ex-

treme conditions) in the passenger

compartment and good visibility

while optimising consumption.

Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular fault, the dashboard air

vents should remain open.

Return to automatic mode as

soon as possible.

In automatic mode, in cold weather,

the ventilation will not start imme-

mode may cause the windows to mist

up or lead to odours, as the air is not

renewed.

We therefore advise you to return to

normal mode (external air) by pressing

button 14 again as soon as the air recir-

culation function is no longer required

or, return to automatic recirculation by

pressing the AUTO button.

During recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and is re-

cycled, with no air being taken from out-

side the vehicle.

Air recirculation allows the external at-

mosphere to be cut off (when driving in

polluted areas, etc.).

3.15

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an op-

Fuel consumption

erating fault.

You will normally notice an increase

in fuel consumption (especially

when driving in town) when the air

conditioning is operating. For vehi-

cles fitted with manual air condition-

ing, switch off the system when it is

not required.

– Reduction in de-icing, demist-

ing or air conditioning perform-

ance. This may be caused by the

passenger compartment filter

cartridge becoming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set

correctly and that the fuses are

sound. Otherwise, switch off the

system.

Advice for reducing consumption

and therefore helping to preserve

the environment:

Drive with the air vents open and

the windows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in

the sun, open the doors for a few

moments to let the hot air escape

before starting the engine.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Service

Booklet for your vehicle for the in-

spection frequency.

Notes

Presence of water under the ve-

hicle. After prolonged use of the air

conditioning system, it is normal for

water to be present under the ve-

hicle. This is caused by condensa-

tion.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Special note

For your safety your vehicle is fitted with

an anti-pinch facility. When a window

encounters resistance whilst closing

or the branch of a tree, for example),

it stops and lowers by several centime-

tres.

Then lift up the rear section of

cushion 1 and tilt the seat base so that

it is next to the front seats.

To fold down the seatback

Remove the rear headrests (if

fitted).

Start by folding down the seat base,
