MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(1/3)

The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

3.5

Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press button 6: the integrated indicator

light comes on. In these conditions, air

is taken from the passenger compart-

ment and is recycled, with no air being

taken from outside the vehicle.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/3)

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side

windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in

the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode

(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by

pressing the button 6 again.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Turn control 4 to choose the distribution

option.

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen and the front side

window demisting vents.

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting vents, the

windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard air vents, the

front footwells and, depending on the

vehicle, the second row footwells.

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

3.6

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Move control 2. The further the control

is positioned to the right, the greater the

amount of air blown into the passenger

compartment. If you want to shut off the

flow of air, set control 2 to OFF.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(3/3)

The system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed is zero (vehicle stationary).

You can, however, still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

Rapid demisting

Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to positions

– air from the outside;

– maximum temperature;

ance of the automatic air condition-

ing. Please refer to the information

on “Eco-driving” in Section 2.

3.10

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(4/4)

Air recirculation (isolation of

the passenger compartment)

This function is managed automatically

(operation is confirmed by a warning

light on button 7), but you can also acti-

vate it manually.

NB:

– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-

ing in polluted areas, etc.);

– the recirculation of air makes it pos-

sible to reach the desired passenger

compartment temperature quicker.

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-

tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-

tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-

tion is no longer needed, by pressing

button 7.
To exit this function, press button 7

again.

Stopping the system
Turn the control 6 to “OFF” to stop the

system. To start it, turn the control 6

again, then adjust the fan speed or

press the button 1.

3.11

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an oper-

ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passen-

ger compartment filter cartridge be-

coming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set cor-

rectly and that the fuses are sound.

Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the

vehicle

After prolonged use of the air condi-

tioning system, it is normal for water

to be present under the vehicle. This is

caused by condensation.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in

fuel consumption (especially in town)

when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning

with no automatic mode, switch off the

system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment
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.

Advice on use

In some situations, (air conditioning

off, air recirculation activated, ventila-

tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may

notice that condensation starts to form

on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear

View” function to remove it, then use

the air conditioning in automatic mode

to stop it forming again.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection fre-

quency.

Do not add anything to the

vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove

bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of

fire.

Use the air conditioning system reg-

ularly, even in cold weather, running

it at least once a month for approxi-

mately 5 minutes.

3.12

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (2/2)

The refrigerant circuit may contain

fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Depending on the vehicle, you will find

the following information on label A af-

fixed inside the engine compartment.
The presence and location of the infor-

mation on label A depends on the ve-

hicle.

Do not open the refriger-

ant circuit. The fluid may

damage eyes or skin.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must
