AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning can only operate when the engine is running.
The air conditioning does not op-erate while the air flow adjustment control is in the "OFF" position.
To guarantee correct operation of your air conditioning system, we also recommend that you have it checked regularly.
1. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed. In summer, it permits lowering of the temperature and in winter, above 0 °C, it increases the effectiveness of the demisting.
2. Temperature adjustment
Turn the control from blue (cold) to red (hot) to adjust the temperature to suit your requirements.
Windscreen and side win-dows (de-icing/demisting).
Windscreen, side windows and footwells.
Press the switch, the indica-tor light comes on.
Footwells.
3. Air distribution adjustment
Centre and side vents.

4. Air flow adjustment
Turn the control from posi-tion 1 to position 4 to obtain an air flow sufficient to en-sure your comfort.
Intake of exterior air.
Air recirculation.
The recirculation of interior air pre-vents exterior odours and smoke en-tering the passenger compartment.
The intake of exterior air prevents and eliminates misting of the wind-screen and side windows.
Used simultaneously with the air con-ditioning, air recirculation improves air conditioning performance.
Used in a damp climate, air recircula-tion may result in misting of the win-dows.
Move the manual control 5 to the right to the "Interior air recirculation" position.
Move the manual control 5 to the left to the "Exterior air intake" position as soon as possible to prevent deterio-ration of the air quality.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning can only operate when the engine is running.
Automatic operation
2. Control by the AUTO programme
Press the "AUTO" button.
We recommend that you use this mode: it provides opti-mised automatic control of all of the functions, passenger com-partment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air recirculation, in accordance with the comfort value that you have chosen. This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.
Note: for your comfort, the values set when the engine is switched off are retained on re-starting if the tem-perature in the passenger compart-ment has not changed significantly; otherwise, operation resumes in au-tomatic mode.
When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the ventilation will only reach its optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warm-er than is comfortable, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to reach the required level of comfort. The system eliminates the temperature difference automatically and as quickly as possible.
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different choice from that offered by the sys-tem by changing a setting. The other functions will still be controlled auto-matically.
Pressing the AUTO button returns the system to completely automatic operation.
1. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Cel-sius or Fahrenheit.
Press the arrows 1 (up and down) to change this value. A setting around 21 enables a comfortable tempera-ture to be obtained.

3. Air conditioning On/Off
Press this button to stop air cooling.
Thesymbol ECO is dis-played.
Automatic operation of the air condi-tioning is resumed when the button is pressed again. The symbol A/C is displayed.
4. Air distribution
Pressing this button several times in succession enables the air flow to be directed in turn towards:
- the windscreen (de-icing or demist-ing),- the windscreen and the footwells,- the footwells,- the centre and side vents and the footwells,- the centre and side vents.
5. Air flow
Press buttons "+" and "-" respectively to in-crease or decrease the air flow.
6. Air intake/Air recirculation
7. Switching the system off
The OFF button switches off all the functions of the system.
Temperature-related comfort and demisting are no longer guaranteed but a slight flow of air is maintained.
Pressing the OFF, AUTO, or "visi-bility" button again reactivates the system with the values set before it was switched off.
Note: if you wish to cut off the flow of air completely, press the air intake button 7.
Press this button for recir-culation of the interior air. Recirculation, shown on the display, enables the passen-ger compartment to be insulated from exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of inte-rior air (risk of condensation and de-terioration of the air quality).
Press the button again to resume auto-matic management of the intake of air.
Notes
To prevent condensation on the in-side of the vehicle in cold or wet weather, you are advised to avoid using the ECO mode.
To guarantee correct operation of your air conditioning system, we also recommend that you have it checked regularly.
