level (between 1,500 and 0 miles (2,400 and 
0 km)), a warning lamp lights up when the ignition 
is switched on and an estimate of the distance 
that can be travelled before engine starting is 
prevented is displayed in the instrument panel.
The engine starting prevention system 
required by regulations is activated 
automatically once the AdBlue
® tank is empty. 
It is then no longer possible to start the engine 
until the minimum level of AdBlue
® has been 
topped up.

air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free 
from obstructions.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located 
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to 
regulate the automatic air conditioning 
system.
►  Operate the air conditioning system for at 
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to 
keep it in perfect working order.
►  If the system does not produce cold air, 
switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep 
gradient in high temperatures, switching off 
the air conditioning increases the available 
engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the 
ventilation off or with prolonged operation 
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and 
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high 
after the vehicle has stood for a long 
time in the sunshine, air the passenger 
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high 
enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge of 
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly 
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
►  Ensure that the passenger compartment 
filter is in good condition and have the filter 
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger 
compartment filter. Thanks to its special 
active additive, this type of filter helps to 
purify the air breathed by the occupants 
and keep the passenger compartment clean 
(by reducing allergic symptoms, unpleasant 
odours and greasy deposits).
►  To ensure correct operation of the 
air conditioning system, have it checked 
according to the recommendations in the 
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system to maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start, refer 
to the corresponding section.
