when you close the door.
Any interruption of your vehicle'selectrical supply will prevent the
windows from opening and closingcorrectly.
Note: Travelling at high speed,closing of windows may be hin-
dered by the aerodynamic pres-sure. Acoustic comfort may then
be adversely affected.
ELECTRICALLY-CONTROLLED CHILD SAFETY
This deactivates the controls in the rear of the vehicle, both for the rear

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
AIR CONDITIONING
This system automatically adjusts the temperature, the fl ow of air and the distribution of air inside the cabin,
depending on your desired comfort level.
Provided
you retain automatic mode (by pressing button "AUTO") and all the air vents are open, you will main-
tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity
and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than
the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not
operating.
To be e
ffective, the air conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed. If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, air the passenger compartment by opening the windows for a
few moments, then close them again.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it
is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once every month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside
the cabin makes use of a number of sensors, relieving you of the need to make adjustments, other than the desired cabin temperature.
Take care not to obstruct sensor A.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bot-
tom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves,snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid
targeting the air inlet zone.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper
distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front andat the rear.
The air vents to the
face have thumbwheels so that you can
adjust the fl ow of air, and grilles to orient the direction.
Th
ere are air vents on the fl oor underneath the frontseats and on the rear control panel, for enhancedheating of the rear seat positions.
Do not obstruct the air outlets located in the boot area.
Dust/pollen fi lter
There is a fi lter for excluding pollen and dust.
This
fi lter has to be changed according to the vehicle
maintenance schedule. See "Maintenance and WarrantyGuide".
