OPERATION
The driver's and the front and rear passengers' seats have sensors that detect non-fastening/unfas-tening of the seat belts.
The fastened/non-fastened status of the seat belts for each type of seat is indicated by the illumination or fl ashing of the warning lamps 1, 2 and 3.
FUNCTIONING OF THE SYSTEM OF DETECTION
Driver's and front passenger's seats
When you switch on the ignition:If the driver's seat belt is not fastened, the warning lamp 1 illuminates in the instrument panel.If the passenger's seat belt is not fastened, the warning lamp 3 lights up.
Above 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning lamp fl ashes for non-fastenin g/ unfastening, accompanied by a message and a sound signal for around 2 minutes. Then the warning lamp(s) 1 and/or 3 remain on.
Rear passengers’ seats
When you switch on the ignition, warning lamp 2 lights up to make the driver and any passengers aware.
Once the doors are closed and the engine started, a message tells you the fastening status of the rear belts for 30 seconds.
After this time, if one or more of the rear belts are not fastened:Warning lamp 2 comes on, if your speed is less than around 12 mph (20 km/h).Warning lamp 2 fl ashes, accompanied by a message and a sound signal for about two minutes, if your speed is above around 1 2 mph (20 km/h).Note:The detection of non-fastening of rear seat belts is deactivated when you switch off the ignition or if one of the vehicle's doors is opened.

To make it easier to open the doors, the windows automatically open by a few millimetres.Note: This movement occurs immediately you touch an interior door handle.
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.
Note: Travelling at high speed, closing of windows may be hin-dered by the aerodynamic pres-sure. Acoustic comfort may then be adversely affected.
ELECTRICALLY-CONTROLLED CHILD SAFETY
This deactivates the controls in the rear of the vehicle, both for the rear win-dows and for opening the rear doors from the inside.
For Pack Lounge seats, the seat slide adjustments, and those fo r the front seats from the rear of the vehicle, are also deactivated.
Activation
The electric safety device is activated by pressing the control A located on the windows control panel. A message appears to confi rm that t he child safety is activated.
It is still possible to open the doors from the outside and to operate the elec-tric windows from the front of the vehicle.
Before changing or repairing the battery, open all four windows.
If you unlock your vehicle using the key because of a problem with the battery, be aware that opening/closing a door wi th the window closed can seriously damage the glass, even to the point of breaking it.

AIR CONDITIONING
This system automatically adjusts the temperature, the fl ow of air and the distribution of air inside the cabin, depending on your desired comfort level.
Provided you retain automatic mode (by pressing button "AUTO") and all the air vents are open, you will main-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 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 makes use of a number of sensors, relieving you of the need to make adjustments, other than the desired cabin temperature.
Take care not to obstruct sensor A.
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 can adjust the fl ow of air, and grilles to orient the direction.
There are air vents on the fl oor underneath the front 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.
Dust/pollen fi lter
There is a fi lter for excluding pollen and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed according to the vehi cle maintenance schedule. See "Maintenance and Warranty Guide".
