COMFORT
The "Demisting" mode controls the
temperature, air fl ow and intake
and distributes the ventilation to the

mode.


)
Press control 7
, with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the door
mirrors. The indica-
tor lamp comes on.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates in-
dependently of the air conditioning
system.
8. Intake of exterior air /
Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.


- When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually to
prevent an excessive distribu-
tion of cold air.

- When entering the vehicle af-
ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very differ-
ent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.

- The water resulting from the
air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.

- In all seasons, if the weather
is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.

However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
)
Press control 8
to set
the air intake mode,
the indicator lamp
comes on.

of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 7
again or when the engine is
switched off.
It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.



You can store the air condition-
ing settings. Refer to the "Storing
driving positions" section.

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING (DUAL-ZONE)
The air conditioning system operates with the engine running.

Dual-zone:
this is the independent regulation of the temperature and air distri-
bution on the driver's side and the front passenger's side.
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature and the distri-
bution of the air to suit their requirements.

progressive lighting of the fan blade
indicator lamps.

in automatic comfort reg-
ulation.
Automatic mode is acti-
vated with reverse gear or
operation of the screen-
wash.
This function permits re-

COMFORT
When starting with the engine
cold, air 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 - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist
or defrost the windows
(humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice).


)
Press control 9
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
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 - defrosting

Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current consump-
tion 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 lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatical-
ly to avoid excessive consumption of
current and depending on the exterior
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 8
again or when the engine
is switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.






With Stop & Start, when demisting
has been activated, the STOP mode
is not available.

independently of the engine.
When the engine is off, it pre-heats
the coolant circuit in order to benefi t
from an optimum engine operating
temperature from the time the en-
gine is switched on.
The programmable heating system
is switched on using the long range
remote control. Activation can be im-
mediate or deferred by means of a
programming function.
