Normal mode, for maximum comfort
A message is displayed on the instrument panel.
“Hydractive III +” suspension auto-matically adjusts to road surface conditions and driving style.
It allows you to alternate between soft and fi rm suspension settings, maximising comfort at the same time as permanently guaranteeing the highest level of safety. It also automatically corrects road hold-ing, according to the vehicle load and driving conditions.
Also, the “Hydractive III +” suspen-sion gives you the possibility of choosing between two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can be made either when the vehicle is moving or when stationary, by pressing on button A.
Signalling
Sport mode, more suited for a sporty style of driving
A message is displayed on the instrument panel and the warning lamp on button A comes on.
Note: Sport mode is retained when you switch off the engine.
Note: If the speed authorised for a particular position is exceeded, the vehi-cle reverts automatically to the normal road position.
Note: Automatic variation of ground clearanceIf your speed exceeds 110 km/h (approx. 70 mph), on a good road surface, ground clearance is lowered. The vehicle returns to its normal position if the road sur-face deteriorates or if your speed is lower than 90 km/h (approx. 55 mph).
At low or medium speed, if the road surface is deteriorated, ground clearance is increased. The vehi-cle returns to its normal position once one of these two conditions is no longer observed.

7. Rear demisting - deicing
Press button 7, with the engine running, to start a rapid deicing or demisting of the rear screen and rear view mirrors. The warning lamp comes on.
This mode automatically stops depending on the out-side temperature. It can be interrupted by a further press on button 7 or by stopping the engine.
In the latter case, demisting will resume when the engine is switched on again.Note: The heated rear screen operates independently of the automatic air conditioning.
This button activates the recirculation of air in the pas-senger compartment.
Press button 8 to switch off the entry of air from outside. The warning lamp comes on.
Whilst retaining the other settings, this position allows the driver at any moment to exclude unpleasant smells or smoke/emissions coming from outside.
This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
8. Air recirculation – Entry of air from outside
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify the tem-perature that is displayed as an attempt to go imme-diately to the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.Water arising from the condensation in the air con-ditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting. Avoid driving for too long with air condition-ing deactivated.

In the latter case, demisting will resume when the engine is switched on again.Note: The heated rear screen operates independently of the automatic air conditioning.
8. Front demisting - deicing
In some cases, “AUTO” mode may not be suffi cient to demist or defrost the windows (e.g. humidity, several passengers, frost).
Press button 8 for rapid clear windows. The warning lamp comes on. This system controls air conditioning, temperature and air fl ow/entry. It distributes ventilation towards the windscreen and the front windows.
You can manually exit “Demisting” mode. This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the passenger compartment.
A press on either of the buttons 1a or 1b allows you to return to “AUTO” mode.
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comf ort-able, it serves no purpose to modify the temperatur e that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately t o the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Water arising from the condensation in the air con-ditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form underneath the vehicle when stationary.
