Air conditioning: information and advice on use.
AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila -
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again. If the conden -
sation does not clear, use the FAST
programme.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Recommendations for reducing
consumption and therefore helping
to preserve the environment:
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre -
quency.
operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap -
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be -
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle.
After prolonged use of the air condi -
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.

These systems operate with the igni -
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger side;
3 and 5 for the rear passengers.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.
Front window features: If the window
detects resistance when closing (e.g.
fingers, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.

Electric windows
Press the window switch down or pull it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height: the rear windows do not
open fully.
one-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the
operation of the electric windows de -
scribed previously. It either operates on
the front windows only, or on all the win-
dows.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op -
eration of the electric win -
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4. The indicator light
integrated in the switch lights up to
confirm that the locks have been ac-
tivated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
key inside and never leave a child
(or a pet) unsupervised, even for a
short while. They may pose a risk
to themselves or to others by start-
ing the engine, activating equipment
such as the electric windows or by
locking the doors. If a body part
gets trapped, reverse the direction
of travel of the window as soon as
possible by pressing the relevant
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

TYrE INFLATION KIT (3/5)

– affix driving recommendation label 9
to the dashboard where it can easily
be seen by the driver;
– store the kit;
– after the first inflation procedure the
tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to
drive in order to plug the hole;
– start immediately and drive at be -
tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles, stop and check
the pressure;
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than the recommended
pressure, readjust it (please refer to
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver ’s door). Otherwise, please
contact an authorised dealer: the
tyre cannot be repaired.
Note: after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved Dealer to re -
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver ’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
Once the tyre is inflated correctly:
– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle
again;
– disconnect adapter 8;
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi -
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.

TYrE INFLATION KIT (5/5)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in -
flation adapter 10 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre -
vent the product from escaping.
– Affix the driving recommendation
label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op-
eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at be -
tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.

To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Switch off the vehicle ignition.
– Ensure that any electrical consumers
(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or recon -
necting the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
12 volt battery: troubleshooting
12 VOLT BATTEr Y: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Before disconnecting the battery, check
that:
– the ignition is switched off;
– the gear control should be in posi -
tion P (please refer to the information
on the “Gear control” in Section 2;
– the charging cable is disconnected.
Special procedures may be
required to charge some
batteries. Contact your ap -
proved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion, and
charge the battery in a well-venti -
lated area. Risk of serious injury.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car -
rying out operations in close prox -
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Disconnect the leads connected to both
battery terminals, starting with the
negative terminal.
Follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Do not work on the 12 volt
battery (charging, replac -
ing, etc.):
– without switching off the
ignition;
– if your traction battery is charg -
ing.
Please refer to the information
on “Electric vehicle: charging” in
Section 1.
