AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent
unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase onlygradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolongedstop and the temperature inside the vehicle is
uncomfortable, it serves no purpose to modify
the temperature that is displayed as an attempt
to go immediately to the desired comfort level.
The system automatically uses all of its power tocompensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air conditioning 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.
You are advised to have the air conditioning system checked on a regular basis. See
"Maintenance and Warranty Guide".
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside
temperatures are high, the air conditioning may
be temporarily paused if the engine cooling
requires this.

The automatic mode makes use of an air quality sen-sor. It analyses the air and isolates the cabin from theexterior if the presence of pollutants is detected. In thiscase it automatically activates recirculation of the cabinair.
Please note: this function does not detect and there-fore protect the cabin from unpleasant odours. It is not
active when the ambient temperature is below +5 °C so
as to avoid the risk of misting the vehicle’s windows.

SUN ROOF
Glass sun roof
The sun roof is operated by theelectrical controlA.
An action to the fi rst notch of thecontrol starts a movement whichstops as soon as you release thecontrol.
An action to the second notch of
the control opens or closes the sun
roof fully. A further action stops themovement.
ANTI-PINCH
An anti-pinch device is present to stop the sun roof from sliding shut. If it
meets an obstacle it slides in the opposite direction.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfunction, youhave to re-initialisethe anti-pinch function.
To do that, move the control Ato the second notch to make the sun roof open fully, then keep the control A pressed for at least1seconds.
Warnin
g: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.
Your vehicle's sun roof has a manually-
operated blind.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a short time.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof closing, you must reverse the roof movement.
To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When the driver is operating the sun roof, he or she must always make sure that the passengers are not preventing it from closing properly.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the sun roof control correctly.
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE SUN ROOF.

12 V BATTERY
STARTING THE ENGINE WITH AN ASSISTING BATTERY
If the battery is discharged, it is possible to use either
a separate emergency battery or a battery on another
vehicle.
If you use the battery on another vehicle, stop the engine on the latter. The two vehicles must not come
into direct contact with each other.
Check that the assisting battery has suffi cient voltage (12 V).
Connect the cables according to the orderindicated in rthe diagram.
A Pole "+" on the vehicle being assisted (under the
red cover).
B Assisting battery.C Pole"–" on the assisted vehicle (under the bonnet).
Check that the leads are well secured (risk of sparks).
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle. Let the engine
run for around 1 minute at a slightly accelerated idle.
Operate the starter on the vehicle being assisted.
It is essential to follow the indicated sequencecorrectly.
Never approach with a fl ame or create sparks in the vicinity of the battery (explosive gas).
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is highly corrosive.
When handling batteries, always protect your face and especially your eyes.
In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immediately with copious amounts of fresh water.
ADVICE
Do not touch the leads during the operation.
Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in reverse order, making sure

FUEL
If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle'sengine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained beforeyou start the engine again.
While you are refuelling, theengine must be stopped and the
ignition switched off.
When you are seeking to fi ll your
tank, do not persist after the
third cut-off; that could cause
your vehicle to malfunction.
Fuel must be added in quantitiesof more than 5 litres to be reco-gnised by the fuel gauge.
To open the fl ap, press button A. Undo the cap and attach it to the
tab on the inside of the fl ap.
Opening the cap can trigger a
vacuum. This results in a noise caused by the sealing of the fuel circuit.Note: The fuel fl ap is locked when you lock your vehicle with the remote control.
FUEL QUALITY
A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you
which type of fuel to use.
Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectlycompatible with biofuels whichconform to current and futureEuropean standards (Diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN
590 mixed with a biofuel whichcomplies with standard EN 14214)which can be distributed at thepumps (possible incorporation of 0
to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of an
y other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils,
domestic fuel oil, etc.) is strictlyprohibited (risk of damage to theengine and fuel circuit).
