Electric exterior rear view mirrors
Your vehicle is equipped with elec-tric door mirrors.
Set the position of the selected door mirror:1. Left hand door mirror.2. Right hand door mirror.
Move the control in the four direc-tions to set the position.
The defrosting of the exterior rear view mirrors is linked to the electri-cal demisting of the rear window.
Fold-back of door mirrors
When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors can be folded back either manually or electrically.
Turn the control to position 3 for electric foldback of the rear view mirrors.
Quit position 3 to deploy the rear view mirrors.
The end of the glass in the exte-rior rear view mirrors is aspherical, so as to enlarge the lateral fi eld of vision.
Objects observed in the aspherical part of the rear view mirrors are in reality closer than they appear.
You must take this into account in order to be properly aware of the distances involved.
Interior rear view mirror
The lever on the lower edge ena-bles you to place the rear view mir-ror in either of two positions:
Day position: the lever is not vis-ible.
Night position (anti-dazzle): the lever is visible.

Electric operation
The switches on the console allow the vehicle’s electric windows to be controlled from the driver’s posi-tion.
Sequential control on driv-er's side
An action on the control to the fi rst notch causes a window movement which stops as soon as the control is released.
An action on the control to the second notch causes the window to close or open completely, a fur-ther press on the control stops the movement.Note: The window controls also operate for a limited time after you have switched off the ignition.
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING THE WINDOWS
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a short time.
If there is an obstruction when operating a window, you must immedi-ately reverse the window movement. To do that, reverse th e position of the control concerned.
If the driver is operating the electric window controls for passengers, he or she should ensure that no passenger is obstructing th e window from closing.
The driver must ensure that the electric windows are use d properly by passengers.
Anti-pinch on driver's window
An anti-pinch device stops the window from rising. If it meets an obstacle, it goes back down.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function:Use the control to fully open the window, then reclose. It will rise only a few centimetres.
Press again on the control until the window closes fully.
During this operation, the anti-pinch protection does not work.

Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bot-tom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid targeting the air inlet zone.
Air vents
The air vents to the face (except the central air vent) have grilles for orienting the fl ow of air (up-down, right-left).
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front and at the rear.
Air outlets are also located on the central console close to the gear lever, to enhance comfort for the rear pas-sengers.
Pollen fi lter – Odour fi lter
Your installation has a fi lter for keeping out dust.
This fi lter has to be changed according to the vehicle maintenance schedule. See “Maintenance Guide”.
Air conditioning
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and mist-ing.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed.
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside tempera-tures are high, the air conditioning may be temporarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.
Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning system is evacuated through a hole provided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
You are advised to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis. See “Maintenance Guide”.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
Demisting - deicing of the wind-screen and front side windowsPlace the controls for temperature and air fl ow on maximum.
Close the central air vents.
Operate the air conditioning.Note: You should not be in air recirculation.

Air conditioning
The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.
Press the control located on the control panel.
Warning lamp on = in operation
Air conditioning is obtained by the mixing of hot air and cold air. Control 4 allows you to adjust the air conditioning while control 5 is in operation.
To obtain refrigerated air, you should check that the air blower control 3 is not on position “0”.
Air recirculation
This function isolates the passen-ger compartment from disagree-able odours or smoke coming from outside and increases the effi ciency and rapidity of the air conditioning.
According to version, press on control A (warn-ing lamp comes on), or move control B.
The entry of air from outside is blocked.
This function should be cancelled when no longer needed in order to permit a renewal of cabin air and to prevent misting.Note: To obtain a rapid rise in cabin tempera-ture, place control A or B in the air recircula-tion position and control 4 on maximum in the 4red zone.
If after a prolonged stop in bright sunlight, the cabin temperature is very high:Open the windows for a few moments to let in air, then cl ose the windows again.Adjust the temperature on control 4 to the maximum cold posi-tion.
Open the air vents.Use the recycled cabin air position.
Place the air blower control 3 to the position close to maxi-mum.
With comfort restored, action the air blower 3 and the tempera-ture control 4 to adjust comfort.
