MONITORING
Engine oil temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
.
In this event, slow down, and if neces-
sary, stop the engine and check the
levels (see corresponding section).
Coolant temperature gauge
Under normal operating conditions,
the bars should be within section 1
.
In severe operating conditions, the
bars may extend into section 2
, the
engine coolant temperature warning
lamp A
and the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop as soon as it is safe
to do so

COMFORT
Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following functions:
air fl ow, temperature in the passenger
compartment and air distribution, by
means of various sensors (ambient
temperature, sunshine). This elimi-
nates any need for you to change
your settings other than the tempera-
ture value displayed.
)
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A
.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING
RECOMMENDATIONS In order to be effective, the air
conditioning must be used with the
windows closed. If the vehicle has
been parked in the sun for a long
period and the interior tempera-
ture is very high, fi rst ventilate the
passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine
power during its operation. As a
result, the fuel consumption of the
vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spraying
at the air inlet.
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle’s servicing schedule
(see the vehicle’s servicing booklet).

in the volume in the passenger com-
partment.
