tem operating mode.
In accordance with the
level of comfort chosen,
pressing this control,
confi rmed illumination
of indicator lamp A
, permits automatic
and simultaneous control of all of the
following functions:
- Air fl ow.
- Temperature in the passenger
compartment.
- Air distribution.
- Air intake.
- Air conditioning.
1. Automatic operation
It is advisable to leave all of the
vents open.
Simply pressing one of the controls,
with the exception of control 2
, switch-
es the system to manual mode.
Indicator lamp A
goes off.
2. Temperature adjustment

the temperature:
- Clockwise to in-
crease the temper-
ature.
The air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.
Mono-zone:
this is the overall regu-

The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort
and not to a temperature in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
the screen confi guration.
A setting around the value 21
usually
provides optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is normal.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There
is no need to change the tempera-
ture displayed to obtain rapidly the
level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

It deactivates all of the system's
functions, with the exception of the
rear screen demisting.
The temperature-related comfort is
no longer controlled (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
Avoid driving for too long with the air
conditioning off. In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed.
Deactivating the air conditioning may
result in discomfort (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
The indicator lamps corresponding
to the distribution chosen come on:
- Windscreen and front side win-
dows.
- Front ventilation (central and
side vents and air diffusion grille
if open) and rear ventilation.
- Front and rear footwells.
Simultaneous display of the distribu-
tion of air to the windscreen and side
windows and of front and rear ventila-
tion is not possible. The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive illumination of the bars
in the control panel screen 9

To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate fl ow of air is main-
tained.

The "Demisting" mode controls the
temperature, air fl ow and intake
and distributes the ventilation to the
windscreen and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
"Demisting" mode. It must be can-
celled to permit renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment and

7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates in-
dependently of the air conditioning
system.
8. Intake of exterior air /
Recirculation of interior air
This function enables you to isolate
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.
- When starting with the engine
cold, the fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually to
prevent an excessive distribu-
tion of cold air.
- When entering the vehicle af-
ter it has been parked for a
fairly long period, if the inte-
rior temperature is very differ-
ent from your comfort setting
there is no need to change
the temperature displayed
in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The
system automatically uses its
maximum performance to cor-
rect the difference in tempera-
ture as quickly as possible.
- The water resulting from the
air conditioning condensation
is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose;
therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the ve-
hicle when stationary.
- In all seasons, if the weather
is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.
However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.
Switch off the rear screen and door
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption.
)
Press control 8
to set
the air intake mode,
the indicator lamp
comes on.
With Stop & Start, when demist-
ing has been activated, the STOP
mode is not available.
Demisting is switched off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption
of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 7
again or when the engine is
switched off.
It must be cancelled as soon as
possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment
and demisting.
You can store the air condition-
ing settings. Refer to the "Storing
driving positions" section.

bution on the driver's side and the front passenger's side.
The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature and the distri-
bution of the air to suit their requirements.
The symbols and messages associated with the digital air conditioning controls
appear in the multifunction screen. This is the normal sys-
tem operating mode.

COMFORT
When starting with the engine
cold, air fl ow will reach its opti-
mum level gradually to prevent an
excessive distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it
has been parked for a fairly long
period, if the interior temperature
is very different from your comfort
setting there is no need to change
the temperature displayed in or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as
possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
9. Front demisting - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist
or defrost the windows
(humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice).
)
Press control 9
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
air fl ow and intake and distributes the
ventilation to the windscreen and front
side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from
the "Demisting" mode. It must be
cancelled as soon as possible to
permit renewal of the air in the pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a
and 1b
returns the system to the
"AUTO"
mode.
8. Rear demisting - defrosting
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current consump-
tion reduces fuel consumption.
The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.
)
Press control 8
, with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatical-
ly to avoid excessive consumption of
current and depending on the exterior
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 8
again or when the engine
is switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.
With Stop & Start, when demisting
has been activated, the STOP mode
is not available.
