Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button 6.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.
5 - Heated rear screen and heated
door mirror de-icer and demisting
control and warning light.
6 - Air conditioning operation control
and indicator light (depending on
vehicle).
7 - Stopping heating. In the stop posi-
tion, heating no longer uses up any
energy.
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condition-
ing: information and advice on use”.
The controls
The controls depend on the vehicle
equipment.
1 - Air recirculation control.
2 - Adjusting the air temperature and
selecting the heating and air-condi-
tioning programming.
3 - Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4 - Adjusting air distribution in the pas-
senger compartment.

iThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the passenger
footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to all air
vents and the footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in hot weather.
JThe air flow is directed mainly
to the dashboard vents.
Rapid demisting
Turn the controls to the positions W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 4 to position the pointer op-
posite the marked positions.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the side windows. This position
prevents the formation of condensa-
tion.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.

Position 0
In this position:
– heating or air conditioning stops au- tomatically even if button 6 is acti-
vated and the warning light remains
lit;
– the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
– there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be
used.

3.7
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (4/4)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Turn control 1 towards the air recircula-
tion symbol
K.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation operates as
follows:
– isolating the passenger compart-
ment from the outside air (driving in pol-
luted areas, unpleasant odours, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-re-
newed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is no
longer required, by turning control 1
again.
1
In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-
ommended to position the control 3
in air recirculation position and the
fan speed control 2 in position 2 or 3
only. This setting enables greater ef-
ficiency and lower energy consump-
tion in reaching the passenger com-
partment ambient temperature.

3.8
AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING: programming (1/2)
Adjusting the programming
This function enables the electric net-
work (and the not the traction battery)
to be used under certain conditions, in
order to obtain a comfortable tempera-
ture prior to using the vehicle.
It triggers the heating in cold weather
and the air conditioning in warm
weather.

Operating conditions
– The ignition must be switched off;
– the battery must be charged more than 90% for the function to be trig-
gered;
– the vehicle has to be plugged into the mains;
and
– control 1 must be in position
ṗ
at A to program the air condition-
ing or at B to program the heating or
ventilation.
3
It is recommended to position con-
trol 3 in the air recirculation position
and air distribution control 2 in po-
sition:
–
i in cold weather;
–
G in high temperatures.
These settings make it possible to
reach a comfortable temperature in
the passenger compartment.

ADDITIONAL HEATING (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, the addi-
tional heating is designed to heat the
passenger compartment. Powered
by a dedicated fuel tank (please see
“Additional heating tank” in Section 1),
this increases the comfort level without
reducing vehicle range.
Switching on this additional heating de-
activates other heating methods and
the air-conditioning.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
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.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents on and the win-
dows 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.
MaintenanceRefer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Below approximately 10°C, with the
engine off it is normal to notice cold
air enter the passenger compart-
ment via the vents when ventilation
has not stopped (refer to the infor-
mation on “Heating, air condition-
ing” in section 3). It is recommended
to position the ventilation control at
0 in case of brief stops.
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.
Noise
Each time the ignition is switched off,
the ventilation will be switched off after
about ten seconds.
Vehicles equipped with
mode ECO
Once activated, ECO mode may
reduce air conditioning perform-
ance. Please refer to the informa-
tion on “Driving advice, Eco-driving”
in Section 2.
Use the air conditioning system reg-
ularly, even in cold weather, running
it at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
