riod since it was reset to zero by the
driver.
With the ignition on, press the
button until zeros appear. Dashboard lighting rheostat

Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sun-
light the interior temperature is ex-
cessive, ventilate the passenger
compartment by opening the win-
dows for a few moments, then close
them again.
The air conditioning operates by
using power from the engine. This
results in a slight increase in fuel
consumption.

carbon)

and dust.
T h i s fi l t e r h a s t o b e c h a n g e d i n a c -
cordance with the vehicle servicing
schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained when
there is a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
F o r o p t i m u m o p e r a t i n g e f fi c i e n c y ,
take care not to obstruct the air out-
lets under the front seats.
Air vents
The face-level air vents have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n ( u p - d o w n , r i g h t -
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
the sunlight sensor located on the
dashboard behind the instrument
panel.
Be careful not to obstruct it.

Automatic lighting
The sidelamps and dipped head-
lamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the
driver, when a low level of external
light is detected or in certain cases of
activation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns
t o a s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l o r a f t e r t h e w i n d -
screen wipers are switched off, the
lights are switched off automatically.
Activation
Turn ring A to the "AUTO" posi-
tion. The automatic lighting is ac-
companied by a message on the
multifunction screen.
Deactivation
Turn ring A to a position other
than "AUTO" . Deactivation is
accompanied by a message on
the multifunction screen. Linking with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic light-
ing provides the "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional
options:

for 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the
vehicle parameters on the mul-

- automatic activation of "guide- me-home" lighting when auto-
matic lighting is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the brightness sensor, the lighting

the associated functions would no
longer be controlled. MANUAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADLAMPS
To avoid dazzling other road users,
the height of the halogen bulb head-
lamps must be adjusted according
to the load in the vehicle.
To do this, turn the control, located
below the dashboard to the left of
driver, to the appropriate position:
0. 1 or 2 people in the front seats.
-. 3 people.

AIRBAGS

safety of the occupants (with the
e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e p a s -
senger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. It supplements the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are triggered instant-
ly and protect the occupants of
t h e v e h i c l e ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n

immediately after the impact, the

- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over
conditions, the airbags will not
be triggered; the seat belt alone

protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not op-
erate. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the airbag(s) is accom-
panied by a slight emission of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
s i t i v e i n d i v i d u a l s m a y e x p e r i e n c e
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver's airbag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger's airbag is incor-
porated in the dashboard above the
g l o v e b o x .
Operation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone
A , in the lon-
gitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
T h e f r o n t a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n

For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.

pose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your
hands on the centre part of the
wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet
on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deploy-
ment of the airbags can cause burns

or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
