Digital air conditioningThe air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO" button. T
he "AUTO" symbol is displayed.
We
recommend that you use
t
his mode. It provides optimised
a
utomatic
control of all of the following
f
unctions:
passenger compartment
t
emperature, air flow, air distribution and air
i
ntake,
in
accordance with the comfort value
t
hat
you
have chosen.
This
system is designed to operate effectively
i
n
all
seasons, with the windows closed. For
your comfort, when the engine is
s
witched off, the settings are retained
u
ntil the engine is switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of
c
old air when the engine is cold, the air
f
low will only reach its optimum level
g
radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to
a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
d
egrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. On
entering the vehicle, if the interior
i
s very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
t
o reach the required level of comfort.
T
he system corrects the temperature
d
ifference automatically and as quickly
a
s possible.
Press the " 5" and " 6" buttons to
change
this value. A setting around
t
he value 21
enables optimum
c
omfort to be obtained. However,
d
epending on your requirements, a
s
etting between 18 and 24 is usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort programme m
ay not be sufficient for rapid
d
emisting or defrosting of the
w
indscreen and side windows
(humidity,
several passengers, ice, etc.).
In
this
case, select the automatic visibility
p
rogramme. The button 3 indicator lamp
comes
on.
The
system automatically controls the air
c
onditioning and the flow of air and provides
o
ptimum
air distribution to the windscreen and
s
ide
windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5.
To
exit
this programme, press button 3 again
or "AUTO" ,
the indicator lamp on the button
g
oes
off
and "AUTO"
is displayed.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
T he under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the vigilance or the
r
esponsibility of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
mpairs road holding, extends braking
d
istances and causes premature
t
yre wear, particularly under arduous
condition
(high loading, high speed,
lon
g
jo
urney).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
label.
See
the "Identification markings"
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.
The
system monitors the pressures in the four
t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
more tyres.
