The window recloses, automati-cally adjusting for a perfect seal.
IMPORTANT
This function has no anti-pinch. Do not leave your hand on the window when you close the door
Any interruption of your vehicle's electrical supply will prevent the windows from opening and closing correctly.
Remark: Travelling at high speed, closing of windows may be hin-dered by the aerodynamic pres-sure. Acoustic comfort may then be adversely affected.

AIR CONDITIONING
This system automatically adjusts the temperature, the fl o w o f a i r a n d t h e d i s t r i b u t i o n o f a i r i n s i d e t h e c a b i n , depending on your desired comfort level.
Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button “AUTO ” ) a n d a l l t h e a i r v e n t s a r e o p e n , y o u w i l l m a i n -tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not operating.
To be effective, the air conditioning should only be used with the windows closed. If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, air the passenger compartment by opening the windows for a few moments, then close them again.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once in every month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside the cabin uses a number of sensors (sunlight, ambient t e m p e r a t u r e , i n s i d e t e m p e r a t u r e , e t c . ) r e l i e v i n g y o u o f the need to make your own adjustments within a normal temperature range.
The humidity sensor is there to prevent misting inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to obstruct the sensors A and C.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bot-tom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid targeting the air inlet zone.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front and at the rear.
The air vents to the face have thumbwheels so that you c a n a d j u s t t h e fl o w o f a i r , a n d g r i l l e s t o o r i e n t t h e d i r e c -tion.
T h e r e a r e a i r v e n t s o n t h e fl o o r u n d e r n e a t h t h e f r o n t seats and on the rear control panel, for enhanced heat-ing of the rear seat positions.
Do not obstruct the air outlets located in the boot area.

If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop Ifand 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.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air con-aterditioning 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 Whateverair conditioning is useful in removing humidity and misting.You are advised to have the air conditioning sys-tem checked on a regular basis. See “Maintenance Guide”.
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside tem-Ifperatures are high, the air conditioning may be tem-porarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.
