VENTILATION

A. Sunshine sensor.

B. Soft air diffusion grille.
The soft air diffusion grille locat- ed in the centre of the dashboard
provides optimum distribution of
the air for the front seats.
This system eliminates unpleas- ant air currents while maintaining
an optimum temperature in the
passenger compartment.
To open the soft air diffusion grille, turn the wheel upwards.
To close the soft air diffusion grille, turn the wheel fully down-
wards.
In very hot weather, to obtain more satisfactory central and
side ventilation, it is advisable to
close the diffused air grille.

C. Cooled glove box.

D. Rear passenger vents.

Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
tions: air fl ow, temperature in the
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.

 Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort
will be maintained and humidity and
condensation will be removed regard-
less of the exterior climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very
high, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment with the windows
open for a few minutes, then close
the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine
power during its operation. As a re-
sult, the fuel consumption of the ve-
hicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spraying
at the air inlet. Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle's servicing schedule
(see: "Maintenance and Warranty
Guide").

Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6 V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be re-
initialised, see below. Always switch off the program-
mable heating while fi lling with
fuel to avoid any risk of fi re or ex-
plosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
infl ammable surface (dry grass,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Before use, ensure that the
quantity of fuel remaining is suffi -
cient. If the fuel tank is at the re-
serve, we strongly advise that you
do not programme the heating.
Do not discard the used bat-
teries, take them to an ap-
proved collection point.
Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnect-
ed or the remote control's battery is
replaced, the remote control must
be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4 (OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK" is displayed on the re-
mote control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message

"FAIL" appears. Repeat the operation.
In addition, your programmable
heating can be used to pre-heat
your vehicle’s passenger com-
partment. The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
disturbed by the fl ow of air from
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.

while the vehicle is stationary.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The steering wheel can be adjusted
for height and reach to adapt the
driving position to the size of the
driver.
Adjustment

 First, adjust the driver's seat to
the most suitable position.

 When stationary , pull the lever A
to unlock the steering wheel ad-
justment.

 Adjust for height and reach.

 Push the lever to lock the steer-
ing wheel adjustment.
After locking, if you press fi rmly on
the steering wheel, a slight click may
be heard.
Rear view mirror
Adjustable mirror providing a central
rearward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system,
useful in poor light.
Manual day/night model
Adjustment

 Adjust the mirror so that the
glass is directed correctly in the
"day" position.
Day/night position

 Pull the lever to change to the
"night" anti-dazzle position.

 Push the lever to change to the
normal "day" position.
As a safety precaution, the mirrors
must be adjusted to reduce the
"blind spot". Automatic day/night model
In order to guarantee optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
By means of a sensor, which mea-
sures the light from the rear of the
vehicle, this system automatically
and progressively changes between
the day and night uses.
It has an anti-dazzle system which
darkens the mirror glass: this reduc-
es any driver discomfort caused by
the light beam of following vehicles,
the sun...

C. Foglamps selection ring.
The foglamps operate with the side-
lamps and the dipped and main
beam headlamps.
-
1 st turn forwards: rear foglamps on.
- 1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.
- 1 st turn forwards: front foglamps on.
- 2 nd turn forwards: rear foglamps on.
- 1 st turn rearwards: rear foglamps off.
- 2 nd turn rearwards: front foglamps off.
Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Lamps on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.
