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 exces-
sive, air the passenger compartment
by opening the windows 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.

Air circulation
A i r v e n t s o n t h e fl o o r u n d e r n e a t h t h e
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
a n d t h u m b w h e e l s t o a d j u s t t h e a i r fl o w
and direction (up-down, right-left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-
tomatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on
a ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- in the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient,
turn the front wheels towards the
pavement and engage a gear
when you park,
- after a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that warning lamp P
on the instrument panel is
permanently lit.
