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.

Warranty Guide").
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
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
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.
