is level with the top of your head.
Adjust the length of the seat cushion to support
your thighs.

Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in
the passenger compartment are automatic.
Temperature adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each
choose their own temperature setting.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
F
P
ress one of the buttons 1 to increase or
decrease the value.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3°C in the settings for left and right.
Automatic comfort
programme
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the comfort level you have selected.
It is possible to modulate the intensity of the
automatic comfort programme by choosing one
of the settings offered in the secondary page,
accessible from the " OPTIONS" button. To change the current setting, shown by
illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp, press button 9 repeatedly until the
desired setting is displayed:
"Normal ": offers the best
compromise between a
comfortable temperature and
quiet operation (default setting).
" Fast ": provides strong and
effective air flow.
Use the " Normal" or "Fast" setting to assure
the comfort of passengers in the rear seats.
This setting is associated with automatic
mode only. However, on deactivation of AUTO
mode, the indicator for the last setting selected
remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if this was deactivated. In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order
to limit the delivery of cold air into the
passenger compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort setting requested, there
is no need to alter the value displayed
in order to reach the required level
of comfort more quickly. The system
compensates automatically and corrects
the temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment
of the length of the strap to your size.
The
seat belt is stowed automatically
when not in use.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly.
