At any time of year, the air condition-
ing is useful for removing air humid-
ity and misting.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If you are towing a heavy trailer or if
outside temperatures are very high,
the air conditioning may be tempo-
rarily interrupted in favour of engine
cooling.
Sensor
The automatic air conditioning inside the passenger compartment makes use of the sunlight sensor, which is located on the dashboard behind the instrument panel.
Take care not to obstruct it.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning is allowed to
drain out through an aperture pro-
vided for this purpose; a pool of
water may thus form beneath the
vehicle when stationary.
You are recommended to have the
air conditioning system checked on
a regular basis (see Maintenance
Guide).
The air conditioning uses energy
from the engine to operate. This
results in extra fuel consumption

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
The display HI (high) cor-responds to a demand for maximum heating (above 27).
The display LO (low) cor-responds to a demand for maximum air conditioning (below 15).
A press on this control, con- fi r m e d b y t h e d i s p l a y o f " A / C "and "AUTO", automatically manages all the 5 following functions according to the tempera-ture chosen:
- Flow of air.
- Cabin temperature.
- Distribution of air.
- Air conditioning.
- Recycling of air.
To enable the system to operate, all the air vents should be kept open.
3 - A d j u s t m e n t o f t e m p e r a t u r e o n r i g h t h a n d s i d e
- To the left to lower the tempera-ture
- To the right to raise the temperature
The difference between the tem-peratures on the right and on the left cannot be greater than 3.
An adjustment around 21 will provide a temperature that is comfortable. Depending on your requirements, an adjustment between 18 and 24 is normal.
This is the normal operating mode.

Notes:
- When you enter the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle may be much colder (or warmer) than a comfortable temperature. It is no use modifying the dis-played temperature to try to attain the desired level of comfort. The system automatically strives to compensate this temperature dis-crepancy as rapidly as possible.
- When starting the engine from cold, in order to avoid distributing too much cold air, the blower will attain its optimum level gradually.
