MONITORING


Tyre under-inflation detection

The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is a driving aid which informs you
of the state of your tyres.
It does not replace either vigilance or
responsibility on the part of the driver.

Economy mode

After switching off the engine, some sys-tems (radio, wipers, electric windows,
opening roof, electric seats, telephone,
video, interior lighting, motorised tail-
gate, etc.) are supplied electrically for a
maximum of no more than around one
hour, so as to avoid discharging the
battery.
This period may be reduced considerably
if the battery’s state of charge is low.
Once this period is over, a message is
displayed in the instrument panel screen
and the active functions are placed on
standby.
These functions will be automatically
reactivated when the vehicle is restarted.

ECO-DRIVING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.


Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gently,
change up without waiting and drive by
changing up quite soon. If your vehicle
has the system, the gear effi ciency
indicator invites you to change up; it is
displayed in the instrument panel, follow
its instructions.


With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A"
, according
to the type of gearbox, without pressing
the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.



Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the acce-
lerator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and also helps reduce the background traffi c noise.


If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing well.



Control the use of your
electrical equipment

Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it
by opening the windows and air vents
before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the
windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment
that can help keep the temperature in
the passenger compartment down (sun
roof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic digital regulation, as
soon as the desired temperature is
attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before mo-
ving off, particularly in winter; your
vehicle will warm up much faster while
driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute
towards limiting the consumption of
electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices
before leaving the vehicle.

COMFORT

Air conditioning

We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following functions:
air fl ow, temperature in the passenger
compartment and air distribution, by
means of various sensors (ambient
temperature, sunshine). This elimi-
nates any need for you to change
your settings other than the tempera-
ture value displayed.


)
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, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless 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
conditioning must be used with the
windows closed. If the vehicle has
been parked in the sun for a long
period and the interior tempera-
ture 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
result, the fuel consumption of the
vehicle 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 the vehicle’s servicing booklet).

COMFORT

Control via the manual controls
It is possible to adjust one or more
functions manually, while leaving the
other functions in automatic mode.


)
Press one of the controls, with
the exception of that which regu-
lates the temperature 2
. Indicator
lamp A
goes off.
Switching to manual mode may result
in discomfort (temperature, humidity,
odour, condensation) and may not
provide optimum comfort.
To return to automatic mode, press
the "AUTO"
control.

3. Air distribution adjustment


)
Press the controls 3

to change the distri-
bution of the air fl ow.
4. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will only oper-
ate when the engine is running. The
air blower control (air fl ow adjust-
ment) must be active to obtain air
conditioning.
Switching off the ventilation


)
Turn control 5
to the

comes on.

5. Air fl ow adjustment


)
Turn control 5
to the
right to increase the
air fl ow or to the left
to reduce it.

6. Front demisting - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist or
defrost the windows (hu-
midity, several passen-
gers, ice).


)
Press control 6
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on. The "OFF"
symbol is displayed in
the multifunction screen.
This action switches off the screen
and the indicator lamps.
It deactivates all of the system's
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
conditioning must be used with the
windows 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 distri-
bution of air to the windscreen and
side windows and of front and rear
ventilation is not possible. The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive illumination of the bars
in the control panel screen 9
.
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.
To reactivate the air conditioning:


)
Press control 1
.

COMFORT
It controls the temperature, air fl ow
and intake and distributes the ven-
tilation to the windscreen and front
side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
"Demisting" mode. It must be can-
celled to permit renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment and
demisting.

Once the screen is clear, pressing
control 1
returns the system to "AUTO"

mode.



)
Press control 7
, with
the engine running,
to demist the rear
screen and the door
mirrors. The indicator
lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 7
again or when the engine
is switched off.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates
independently 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 op-
timum level gradually to pre-
vent an excessive distribution
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
several
times to set the air in-
take mode, the indica-
tor lamp comes on.


It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.








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