erate while the air low 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 temperatu re and in winter,
above 0 °C, it increases the effectiveness of the demisting. 2. Temperature adjustment

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 recirculation
may result in misting of the windows.
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

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 low, 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 signiicantly;
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 tem-
perature in degrees Celsius
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.

4. Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession enables

turn towards:
- the windscreen
(de-icing or demisting),
- the windscreen and the
footwells,
- the footwells,

crease or decrease
the air low.
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 low of air is maintained.
Pressing the OFF, AUTO , or "vis-
ibility" button again reactivates the
system with the values set before it
was switched off.
Note: if you wish to cut off the low
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 pas
-
senger compartment to be insulated
from exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of interior
air (risk of condensation and deteriora-
tion of the air quality).
Press the button again to resume
automatic 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.
