Pay particular attention to children when
operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other persons
present when closing windows remotely using
the electronic key.
Do not put your head or arms through the open
windows when the vehicle is moving - risk of
serious injury!
Panoramic sunroof
The panoramic sunroof consists of a movable
glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind
that can be opened independently. Opening the
sunroof automatically opens the blind.
► To operate the panoramic sunroof or the blind,
use the buttons in the roof console.


A. Sunroof control
B. Sunroof blind control
The sunroof or blind can be operated when the
ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged
enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode
of Stop & Start, and up to 45 seconds after turning
off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.
Precautions
Do not put your head or arms through the
sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk
of serious injury!
Ensure that any luggage or accessories
carried on the roof bars do not interfere
with the movement of the sunroof.
Do not place heavy loads on the movable glass
panel of the sunroof.
If the sunroof is wet, following a rain
shower or washing the vehicle, wait until
it is completely dry before operating it.
Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by
snow or ice - risk of damage!
Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or
ice from the sunroof.
Regularly check the condition of the
sunroof seals (e.g. presence of dust, dead
leaves).
If using a car wash, check first that the roof is
correctly closed and keep the high-pressure jet
at least 30 centimetres from the seals.
Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof
open.
Operation
When opening the sunroof fully, the movable
glass moves to a partially open position, then
slides over the roof. Any intermediate position is
possible.
Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the
partially open position may vary to
improve the acoustics.

41
Access02
Before operating the sunroof or blind
control buttons, ensure that no object or
person might prevent the movement.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the sunroof or blind.
If something is trapped when operating
the sunroof or blind, you should reverse the
movement of the sunroof or blind by pressing
the control in question.
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the sunroof and blind correctly.
Anti-pinch system
If the sunroof or blind encounters an obstacle
when closing, the movement is automatically
reversed.
The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be
effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h).
Opening/Closing
►  To open the sunroof or the blind, use the part
of the button located towards the rear of the
vehicle.
►  To close the sunroof or the blind, use the part
of the button located towards the front of the
vehicle.
Operation of buttons
►  Pressing a button beyond its point of
resistance directly opens or closes the sunroof or
blind fully.
►  Pressing the button again stops the current
movement.
►  When holding a button (without going
beyond the point of resistance), the movement
of the sunroof or blind stops when this button is
released.
►  When the sunroof is closed: pressing once
without passing the point of resistance moves it
to a partially open position.
►  When the sunroof is partially open: pressing
once without passing the point of resistance
opens or closes it fully.
The sunroof and windows, then the blind,
can be closed by holding down the door
locking control. The manoeuvre stops as soon
as the locking control is released.
Closing of the blind is limited by the
position of the sunroof: the blind cannot
go further than the front of the movable glass.
During simultaneous movements of the
sunroof and blind, the blind automatically
stops or resumes movement depending on the
position of the sunroof.
Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery or in the
event of a fault or jerky movement of the sunroof
or blind, reinitialisation is required.
►  Check that nothing is interfering with the

Advice
Using the ventilation and air conditioning
system
►  To ensure that 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.
►  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 good working order.
►  If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
When towing a large 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. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►  To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
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 system, refer to the corresponding
section.

AQS function
Using an exterior pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates the recirculation of
interior air when a certain level of pollutants in
the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect unpleasant
odours. Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear is
engaged.
The function is inactive if the outside temperature
is below 5°C to prevent the risk of misting on the
windscreen and side windows.
Clean Air function
Using an interior pollution sensor, this function
detects fine particles (e.g. cigarette smoke,
mould, bacteria).
The management of the recirculation of interior
air makes it possible to return to a purified
passenger compartment in just a few minutes,
thanks to the passage of air through the high-
performance passenger compartment filter.
If the air quality appears to be reduced, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop to change the high-
performance passenger compartment filter.
Air conditioning on/off
The air conditioning system is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons, with the
windows closed:

flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
►  Press this button to activate/
deactivate the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
This function is activated automatically
when the front screenwash is used or
reverse gear is engaged.

Safety05
Curtain airbags
This system helps provide greater protection for
the driver and passengers (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a
serious side impact, in order to limit the risk of
injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the
upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding
lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact
applied to all or part of the side impact zone B.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front
and rear occupants of the vehicle and the
corresponding windows.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, these
warning lamps light up on the
instrument panel. Contact a dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump at
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle
rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, none of
the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.
Do not place anything between the occupants
and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do
not fix or attach anything near or in the path of
the airbags, as this could cause injuries when
they are deployed.
Never modify the original definition of the
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to
the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates
almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)
then deflates within the same time,
discharging the hot gas via openings provided
for this purpose.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by
its spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fix or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, as this could cause
injuries when the airbags are deployed.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved seat covers compatible
with the deployment of these airbags. For
information on the range of seat covers
suitable for your vehicle, contact a dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause
injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
All work must be carried out only by a dealer or
a qualified workshop.
