DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING (MONO-ZONE)
This is the normal sys-
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
, switches
the system to manual mode.
Indicator lamp A
goes off.
2. Temperature adjustment
Turn control 2
to change
the temperature:
-
Clockwise to increase
the temperature.
- Anticlockwise to re-
duce the temperature.
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
usu-
ally provides optimum comfort.
However, depending on your re-
quirements, 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. The air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.
Mono-zone:
this is the overall
regulation of the temperature, distri-
bution and fl ow of air in the passenger
compartment.
The symbols and messages associ-
ated with the digital air conditioning
controls appear in the multifunction
screen.

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
conditioning 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 distri-
bution of air to the windscreen and
side windows and of front and rear
ventilation is not possible. The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive illumination of the bars
in the control panel screen 9

of current and in relation to the ambient
temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing
control 7
again or when the engine
is switched off.
7. Rear demisting - defrosting
The heated rear screen operates
independently 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 op-
timum level gradually to pre-
vent an excessive distribution
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.

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

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.

Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6 V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be
reinitialised, see below.
Always switch off the program-
mable heating while fi lling with
fuel to avoid any risk of fi re or
explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
infl ammable surface (dry grass,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a
risk of fi re.
The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is suffi cient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strong-
ly advise that you do not programme
the heating.
Do not discard the used
batteries, take them to an
approved collection point.
Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected
or the remote control's battery is re-
placed, the remote control must be
reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK"
is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message
"FAIL"
appears. Repeat the operation.
In addition, your programmable
heating can be used to pre-heat
your vehicle's passenger com-
partment.
The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
disturbed by the fl ow of air from
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.

trol of the various front and rear lamps
providing the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see
clearly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,
- front foglamps for even better
forward vision,
- directional headlamps for im-
proved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be
seen during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of head-
lamps,
