stops.


Press control 4 . Indicator
light B comes on.
5. Air fl ow adjustment

 Turn control 5 to the

functions, with the exception of the
rear screen demisting.
The temperature-related comfort is
no longer controlled (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
Avoid driving for too long with the air
conditioning off.
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed.
Deactivating the air conditioning may
result in discomfort (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
The indicator lamps corresponding
to the distribution chosen come on:
- Windscreen and front side win- dows.
- Front ventilation (central and side vents and air diffusion grille
if open) and rear ventilation.
- Front and rear footwells.
Simultaneous display of the distribu-
tion of air to the windscreen and side
windows and of front and rear venti-
lation is not possible. The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive lighting of the blocks of
the bar graph on the control panel
display

To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in the
passenger compartment, ensure that
an adequate fl ow of air is maintained.
To reactivate the air conditioning:

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING (DUAL ZONE)

Dual zone: this is the differentiated regulation of the temperature and air distri-
bution on the driver's side and the front passenger side.
The driver and his front passenger can each adjust the temperat ure and the
distribution of the air to suit their requirements.
The symbols and messages associated with the automatic air condit ioning con-
trols appear on the multifunction screen. This is the normal sys-
tem operating mode.
In accordance with the
level of comfort chosen,
pressing this control,
confi rmed by the dis-
playing of indicator lamp A , permits
automatic and simultaneous control
of all of the following functions:
- Air fl ow.
- Temperature in the passenger compartment.
- Air distribution.
- Air conditioning.
- Automatic air recirculation.
It is advisable to leave all of the
vents open. Simply pressing one of
the controls, with the exception of
that which regulates the tempera-
ture 1a and 1b , switches the system
to manual mode. Indicator light A
switches off.

 Press the control:
-
to increase the air fl ow,
- to reduce the air fl ow.
The air fl ow level is indi-
cated by the progressive
lighting of the fan blade in-
dicator lamps.

Reducing the fl ow to minimum
switches the air conditioning OFF.
To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate fl ow of air is main-
tained.
6. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will
only operate when the
engine is running. The air
blower control (air fl ow ad-
justment) must be active
in order to obtain air con-
ditioning.

 Press control 6 . The indicator light
comes on.
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. 7. Air recirculation - intake of
exterior air
This function enables you
to isolate the passenger
compartment from exte-
rior fumes and odours.

Intake of air in automatic
anti-pollution mode
This is activated by default
in automatic comfort regu-
lation mode.
The automatic mode has an air qual-
ity sensor. It analyses the air and
isolates the passenger compart-
ment from the outside if it detects
the presence of pollutants. In this
case, it automatically activates the
recirculation of the passenger com-
partment air.
This function does not detect un-
pleasant odours and therefore does
not prevent them from entering the
passenger compartment. It is not
active when the exterior tempera-
ture is below +5 °C to avoid the risk
of condensation forming inside the
vehicle.
Closing the air intake

 Press control 7 to close
the exterior air intake.
It must be cancelled as soon as pos-
sible to permit renewal of the air in
the passenger compartment and de-
misting.

Intake of exterior air

 Press control 7 once
to open the exterior air
intake.
While retaining the other settings,
this position allows the driver to iso-
late himself from unpleasant exterior
odours and fumes at any time.

C O M F O R T When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its opti-
mum level gradually to prevent an
excessive distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it
has been parked for a fairly long
period, if the interior temperature
is very different from your comfort
setting there is no need to change
the temperature displayed in or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as
possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
9. Front demisting - de-icing
In certain cases, the

"AUTO" mode may not be
suffi cient to demist or de-
ice the windows (humidity,
several passengers, ice).

 Press control 9 to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator light
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
air fl ow and intake and distributes the
ventilation to the windscreen and front
side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
the "Demisting" mode. It must be
cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a and

1b returns the system to the "AUTO"
mode.
8. Rear demisting - de-icing
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption. The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.

 Press control 8 , with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator light comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically
to avoid excessive consumption of
current and depending on the exterior
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 8 again or when the engine is
switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting
resumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.
