Digital air conditioningThe air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"Â button. Â T
he "AUTO" symbol  is  displayed.
We
 recommend  that  you  use Â
t
his  mode.  It  provides  optimised Â
a
utomatic
 control  of  all  of  the  following Â
f
unctions:
 passenger  compartment Â
t
emperature,  air  flow,  air  distribution  and  air Â
i
ntake,
Â
in
Â
accordance  with  the  comfort  value Â
t
hat
Â
you
Â
have  chosen.
This
Â
system  is  designed  to  operate  effectively Â
i
n
Â
all
Â
seasons,  with  the  windows  closed. For
 your  comfort,  when  the  engine  is Â
s
witched  off,  the  settings  are  retained Â
u
ntil  the  engine  is  switched  on  again.
To  prevent  too  great  a  distribution  of Â
c
old  air  when  the  engine  is  cold,  the  air Â
f
low  will  only  reach  its  optimum  level Â
g
radually.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to
 a  level  of  comfort  and  not  to  a  temperature  in Â
d
egrees  Celsius  or  Fahrenheit. On
 entering  the  vehicle,  if  the  interior Â
i
s very cold or hot, there is no need to
change  the  value  displayed  in  order Â
t
o  reach  the  required  level  of  comfort. Â
T
he  system  corrects  the  temperature Â
d
ifference  automatically  and  as  quickly Â
a
s  possible.
Press the " 5" and " 6" buttons to
change
 this  value.  A  setting  around Â
t
he value 21
Â
enables  optimum Â
c
omfort  to  be  obtained.  However, Â
d
epending  on  your  requirements,  a Â
s
etting  between  18  and  24  is  usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort programme m
ay  not  be  sufficient  for  rapid Â
d
emisting  or  defrosting  of  the Â
w
indscreen and side windows
(humidity,
 several  passengers,  ice,  etc.).
In
Â
this
Â
case,  select  the  automatic  visibility Â
p
rogramme.  The  button  3  indicator  lamp Â
comes
Â
on.
The
Â
system  automatically  controls  the  air Â
c
onditioning  and  the  flow  of  air  and  provides Â
o
ptimum
Â
air  distribution  to  the  windscreen  and Â
s
ide
Â
windows.  It  deactivates  air  recirculation  5.
To
Â
exit
Â
this  programme,  press  button  3  again Â
or "AUTO" ,
 the  indicator  lamp  on  the  button Â
g
oes
Â
off
Â
and  "AUTO"
Â
is  displayed.
With
 Stop  &  Start,  when  demisting  has Â
b
een  activated,  the  STOP  mode  is  not Â
a
vailable.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
T he  under-inflation  detection  system Â
d
oes  not  replace  the  vigilance  or  the Â
r
esponsibility  of  the  driver.
This
 system  does  not  avoid  the  need  to Â
c
heck  the  tyre  pressures  (including  the Â
s
pare  wheel)  every  month  as  well  as Â
b
efore  a  long  journey.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres Â
i
mpairs  road  holding,  extends  braking Â
d
istances  and  causes  premature Â
t
yre wear, particularly under arduous
condition
 (high  loading,  high  speed, Â
lon
g
 jo
urney).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
 label.
See
 the  "Identification  markings" Â
s
ection.
Tyre
 pressures  should  be  checked Â
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
 for  1  hour  or  after  a  journey  of Â
l
ess  than  6  miles  (10  km)  at  moderate Â
s

Other wise
 (when  hot),  add  0.3  bar  to Â
t
he  pressures  shown  on  the  label.
Driving
 with  under-inflated  tyres Â
i
ncreases  fuel  consumption.
The
 system  monitors  the  pressures  in  the  four Â
t
yres,  once  the  vehicle  is  moving.
It
 compares  the  information  given  by  the  four Â
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
 system  triggers  an  alert  as  soon  as  it Â
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
 more  tyres.
