COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle’s
passenger compartment. Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to in-
crease or reduce the speed of the ven-
tilation blower.
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode. Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,
- the air fl ow,
- the air distribution,
- the de-icing and demisting,
- the manual or automatic air condi- tioning controls.
Air diffusion

1. Windscreen de-icing or demisting
vents.

2. Front side window de-icing or
demisting vents.

3. Side adjustable and closing vents.

4. Central adjustable and closing
vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

6. Adjustable and closing vents for the

1. Temperature adjustment
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.
The heating/ventilation or air condition-
ing systems can only operate with the
engine running. 4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents misting
of the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
the air quality and avoid misting.


If you place the air fl ow control
in position 0 (deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfortable
level. However, a slight fl ow of
air, due to the movement of the
vehicle, can still be felt.
3. Air distribution adjustment

 Press the button to recirculate
the interior air. The indicator
light comes on to confi rm
this.

GLOVE BOX WITH LIGHT
This has areas for storing a small bottle
of water, the vehicle’s handbook, ...
Its lid has areas for storing a pen, a pair
of spectacles, tokens, cards, a can, fra-
grance cartridges, ...
SUN VISOR
Component which protects against
sunlight from the front or the side, also
equipped with an illuminated courtesy
mirror.

 With the ignition on, raise the
concealing fl ap; the mirror is lit
automatically.
This sun visor is also equipped with a
ticket holder.
TOLL CARD/CAR PARK TICKET WINDOWS
Facility for affi xing toll cards and/or car
park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the interior mirror.
They are two non-refl ective areas of the
athermic windscreen.
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun’s rays (ultra-violet). It consists
of a refl ective layer, which also
blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, ...).
 To open the glove box, raise the
handle.
The light comes on when the lid is
opened.
If the vehicle is fi tted with air condition-
ing, it provides access to the air vent A ,
which can be opened or closed, distrib-
uting the same conditioned air as the
vents in the passenger compartment.
It also permits access to the fuse box in
the fascia (refer to the section "Practical
information - § Changing a fuse").
