MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system enables once
of five modes to be selected which, de-
pending on the vehicle, affect the drive,
the light environment, the comfort and
the engine noise:
– modes Comfort, Neutral, Eco and Sport are preset and associated with
customisable light environments and
engine noise;
– mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:
– power-assisted steering;
– piloted suspension damping;
– four-wheel drive;
– engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
– passenger compartment and instru- ment panel lighting;
– instrument panel and multifunction screen information;
– engine noise;
– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the
mode set at the time the engine was
last switched off.
Mode Comfort
This mode favours flexibility in the sus-
pension and steering. The interior envi-
ronment is softened.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving
energy and the environment. The sus-
pension and steering are soft, engine
and gearbox management enable fuel
consumption to be lowered. Air con-
ditioning is managed to be used only
when necessary.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.

The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recirculation,

to the desired comfort level. The com-
fort level is then maintained gently and
silently. Press button 8.

system to reach the desired comfort
level more quickly. Press button 10.8

Air recirculation
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the exter- nal atmosphere to be cut off (when
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and
to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly.
