Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside the cabin uses a number of sensors that relieve you of the need to make adjust-ments outside the displayed tem-perature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-light sensor located on the dash-board.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles and thumbwheels so that you can adjust the air fl ow and direction (up-down, right-left).
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the front seats provide enhanced heating for the rear seat positions : take care not to obstruct them.
Dust fi lter / odour fi lter (active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in accordance with the vehicle main-tenance schedule (see the Main-tenance Guide).
Air conditioning
To ensure that your system oper-ates correctly, it is recommended to have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation in the air conditioning drains away through a hole provided for this purpose. A pool of water may thus form under the vehicle when sta-tionary.
To keep the air conditioning com-pressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
To be effective, the air condition-ing should only be used with the windows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, ventilate the passen-ger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel consumption.

Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encoun-tered by domestic systems.
The reception of AM and FM sig-nals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does not refl ect on the quality of your radio installation.
In AM, the reception may be af-fected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.
In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the refl ecting of signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blacks-pots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM wave-band, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual search is via buttons J or M.
By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be car-ried out according to two levels of sensitivity :
- To capture the most powerful trans-mitters, choose the local search mode “LO” (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode “DX”.
Search for a station is done fi rst in “LO” (local) sensitivity, then in “DX” (distant) sensitivity.
To commence a search in sensi-tivity “DX” (distant) immediately , press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the but-tons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.
By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop at the fi rst station it fi nds once the button is released.
You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.
If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak re-ception), it is possible to search manually to fi nd this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
Briefl y press on button G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.
You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.
To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.

Manual pre-setting
Select the waveband and memory bank required using button E.
Select a station using either auto-matic or manual search.
Keep pressing for more than two seconds on one of the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P.
The sound momentarily cuts off, then returns to its previous level to confi rm that it has memorised the station.
Automatic memorisation of transmitters (Autostore function)
In FM, if you hold down button Efor more than two seconds, your radio will automatically memorise the 6 strongest stations on the FM3 memory bank.
The display shows “FM AST”.
The radio memorises the 6 strong-est transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.
After the memorisation, the ra-dio goes directly to memory 1 of memory bank FM3.
Note :
- If the traffi c information function has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.
- If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will re-tain the previously memorised stations.
- If the system is unable to fi nd 6 stations, the unfi lled memory slots will remain free.
Recall of pre-set stations
Press button E briefl y to select the required waveband and memory bank.
A short press on one the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P recalls the correspond-ing memorised station. You can also do this using the control 3 at the steering wheel.
If it is a RDS station, the frequency appears some seconds before the name appears.
For RDS stations, recall of a sta-tion may prompt a search for a frequency corresponding to the region where you happen to be (see RDS system).
