The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed. The control button is located on
the heating or air conditioning
system control panel. REAR SCREEN DEMIST -
DEFROST

)
Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in re-
duced fuel consumption.


If the engine is switched off before the
demisting/defrosting is switched off auto-
matically, demisting/defrosting will resume
next time the engine is switched on.

Switching on

The rear screen demisting/defrosting
can only operate when the engine is
running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending on
version) the door mirrors. The indica-
tor lamp associated with the button
comes on.



Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demisting/de-
frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the but-
ton again. The indicator lamp associ-
ated with the button switches off. It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting, in winter above 0 °C.


Switching on


)
Press the "A/C"
button, the associ-
ated indicator lamp comes on.

The air conditioning does not op-
erate when the air fl ow adjustment
dial 2 is in position "0".



Switching off

Press the "A/C"
button again, the as-
sociated indicator lamp switches off.

COMFORT
50
When the engine is cold, to pre-
vent too great a distribution of cold
air, the air fl ow will only reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-
tribution of warm air to the wind-
screen, the side windows and the
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to alter the val-
ue displayed in order to obtain
the required level of comfort. The
system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as
quickly as possible. The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The driver and his front pas-
senger can each set the
temperature to suit their re-
quirements.

)
Turn dial 2
or 3
to the left to reduce
the value or to the right to increase it.
A setting around 21 enables you to ob-
tain an optimum level of comfort. De-
pending on your requirements, a setting
between 18 and 24 is usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you
avoid a left/right setting difference of
more than 3.

4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win-
dows (humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice...).


)
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.

Automatic operation



)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The "AUTO"
symbol is dis-
played.

2. Driver's side adjustment
DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

We recommend that you use this mode:
it provides optimised automatic con-
trol of all of the functions, passenger
compartment temperature, air fl ow, air
distribution and air recirculation, in ac-
cordance with the comfort value that
you have selected.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.

air conditioning deactivated. Avoid prolonged operation in inte-
rior air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation and of deterioration
of the air quality).

The air fl ow symbol, the fan, is fi lled in
progressively in relation to the value re-
quired. Air recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment.


)
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of
exterior air and prevent misting.
For maximum cooling or heating of
the passenger compartment, you
can exceed the minimum value of
14 or the maximum value of 28.
