a i r.
Switching off
F Press the A/C  button again, 
the button's indicator lamp 
goes off.
Switching the system off could result in

Automatic operation
Automatic comfort programme
We recommend using one of the three AUTO 
modes available: they provide optimised 
regulation of the temperature in the passenger 
compartment according to the comfort value 
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust the 
air flow, according to the desired setting, while 
also maintaining the desired comfort value.
This system is designed to operate effectively 
in all seasons, with the windows closed. F
 
P
 ress the AUTO button in 
succession:
-
 
a f
 irst indicator lamp comes 
on; the "low" setting mode is 
selected,
-
 
a s
 econd indicator lamp 
comes on; the "medium" 
setting mode is selected,
-
 
a t
 hird indicator lamp comes 
on; the "high" setting mode is 
selected.

In cold weather and when the engine 
is cold, the air flow will gradually reach 
its optimum level, taking account of the 
weather and the desired comfort level so 
as to avoid distributing too much cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior 
temperature is much colder or warmer 
than the comfort value, there is no need 
to change the value displayed in order to 
obtain the desired comfort. The system 
corrects the difference in temperature 
automatically and as quickly as possible.
Temperature adjustment on driver/
passenger side
The driver and front passenger can each set 
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value shown on the display is a level 
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or 
Fahrenheit.F
 
T
 urn the dial to the left to lower 
the value and to the right to 
raise it. A setting around the value 21 provides 
optimum comfort. However, depending on your 
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is 
normal.
It is also recommended to avoid a left /right 
setting difference of more than 3.
Automatic visibility programme
For more information on Front 
demist - defrost
, refer to the 
corresponding section.
With Stop & Start, when demisting/
defrosting has been activated, STOP 
mode is not available.
Manual control
If you wish, you can make a different choice 
from that offered by the system by changing 
a setting. The " AUTO" button indicator lamps 
go off; the other functions will continue to be 
managed automatically.

t
 he footwells.
You can combine the three directions to obtain 
the desired air distribution.
Adjusting	the	air	flow

F Press this button to recirculate  the interior air. The button's 
indicator lamp comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment 
to be isolated from exterior odours and smoke.
F As soon as possible, press this button again to permit 
the intake of outside air and 
prevent the formation of 
condensation. The button's 
indicator lamp goes off.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air 
recirculation mode (risk of misting and 
deterioration of air quality).
"REST" function: ventilation with the 
engine off
Even with the engine is off, you can operate the 
ventilation for a few minutes.
For example, if you leave the vehicle, 
ventilation can be provided to the passengers 
who stay inside without having to start the 
engine.
This function is available after switching on the 
ignition, as well as after stopping the engine.
The availability period of the function depends 
on the state of charge of the battery.
You can activate the "REST" function as long 
as the air conditioning control displays are on. When the ignition is switched on
-
 
T
 he control displays come on: the function 
is available.
-  
P
 ressing the REST
 button

a few minutes. Activation of 
the function is confirmed by 
two dashes appearing in the 
control displays and four air 
flow level indicator lamps.
On stopping the engine

W
 hile the control displays are still on: the 
function is available.
-  P ressing the REST
 button 
activates the ventilation for 
a few minutes. Activation of 
the function is confirmed by 
two dashes appearing in the 
control displays and four air 
flow level indicator lamps.
Locking the vehicle has no effect on this 
function.
-
 
T
 he displays go off at the end of this period.
Pressing this button again before the end of 
the period stops the ventilation completely: the 
control displays go off and the function is no 
longer available.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully 
effective, follow the operation and 
maintenance guidelines below:
F 
T
 o ensure that the air is distributed 
evenly, keep the external air intake 
grilles at the base of the windscreen, 
the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets 
and the air extractor in the boot free 
from obstructions.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, 
located on the dashboard; this is used 
for regulation of the automatic air 
conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for 
at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice 
a month to keep it in per fect working 
o r d e r.
F
 
E
 nsure that the passenger 
compartment filter is in good condition 
and replace the filter elements 
periodically. We recommend the use of 
a combined passenger compartment 
filter. Thanks to its special active 
additive, it helps both to purify the air 
breathed by the occupants and to keep 
the passenger compartment clean 
(reduction of allergic symptoms, bad 
odours and greasy deposits). F
 T o ensure correct operation of the 
air conditioning system, you are also 
advised to have it checked regularly as 
recommended in the Maintenance and 
Warranty Guide.
F
 
I
 f the system does not produce cold air, 
switch it off and contact the dealer network 
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 and so improves the towing 
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and 
deterioration in the quality of the air:
do not drive for too long with the ventilation 
switched off.
Do not keep air recirculation set for an 
extended period. If after an extended stop in sunshine, the 
interior temperature is very high, first 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.
The condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge of 
water under the vehicle which is per fectly 
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment, you can 
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t , 
refer to the corresponding section.
