Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses 
the most suitable amount of air to reach 
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation 
speed by turning control 6 to increase 
or reduce the ventilation speed.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control  2 to obtain the desired 
temperature. 
Turning the control to the right in-
creases the temperature.
Special note: the maximum and mini-
mum settings allow the system to pro-
duce a minimum or maximum tempera-
ture (18°C and 26°C).
The controls
1   Automatic mode.
2   Air temperature adjuster.
3   “Clear View” function.
4   Passenger compartment air distribu-
tion adjustment.
5   Air conditioning control.
6   Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.

Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system 
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility 
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption. 
The system controls the ventilation 
speed, air distribution, air recirculation, 
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
AUTO: allows the selected comfort 
level to be best attained, depending on 
the exterior conditions. Press button  1.

Air recirculation (isolation of 
the passenger compartment) 
K
This function is managed automatically 
(operation is confirmed by a warning 
light on button 7), but you can also acti-
vate it manually.Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead 
to odours, caused by non-renewal of 
air, and the formation of condensation 
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing 
button 7.
To exit this function, press button 
7 
again.
Stopping the system
Turn control 6  to “OFF” to stop the 
system. To start, turn control  6 again 
to adjust the blower speed or press 
button 1.

NB:
–  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 external  atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
–  bringing the passenger compartment  to the desired temperature as quickly 
as possible.
The demisting/de-icing will still take 
priority over the air recirculation.

3.12
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.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit.  The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in 
fuel consumption (especially in town) 
when the air conditioning is operating.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
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.
Vehicles fitted with an 
auxiliary heater
Some vehicles are fitted with an auxil-
iary heater which heats the passenger 
compartment more quickly.
This device operates only when the 
engine is running and in cold weather.
When the device is functioning you 
can normally see a small amount of 
smoke on the right-hand side of the ve-
hicle coming from the heater’s exhaust 
system.
Advice on useIn 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.
MaintenanceRefer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the 
vehicle’s ventilation circuit 
(for example, to remove 
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of 
fire.
Fuel consumption increases when 
the air conditioning is being used 
(switch it off when it is not required).

The engine may be hot 
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In 
addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Do not press down on the 
bonnet: there is a risk that 
the bonnet may accidentally 
close.
When working in the engine 
compartment, ensure that 
the windscreen wiper stalk 
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine must be 
stopped before any action 
(and not on standby): stop 
the engine (please refer 
to the information on “Starting and 
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
In the event of even a slight 
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have 
the bonnet lock checked by 
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
After carrying out any work 
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing 
has been left behind (cloth, 
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or 
cause a fire.

4.4
It is normal for an engine to use oil for 
lubrication and cooling of moving parts 
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved 
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being 
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km) 
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil 
level from time to time and certainly 
before any long journey to avoid the 
risk of damaging your engine.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
Under no circumstances 
should maximum filling 
level  B be exceeded: this could 
damage the engine and the cata-
lytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle  and 
contact an approved Dealer.
In order to prevent splashback, it is 
recommended that a funnel be used 
when topping up/filling with oil.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine 
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read 
the exact oil level and make sure that 
the maximum level has not been ex-
ceeded (risk of engine damage). 
The instrument panel display only 
alerts the driver when the oil level is at 
its minimum.
–  remove the dipstick and wipe with a  clean, lint-free cloth;
–  push the dipstick in as far as it will  go;
–  take out the dipstick again;
–  read the level: it should never fall  below minimum mark  A or exceed 
maximum mark B.
Once the level has been read, push the 
dipstick in as far as it will go.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up/filling (1/2)
The engine must be 
stopped before any action 
(and not on standby): stop 
the engine (please refer 
to the information on “Starting and 
stopping the engine” in Section 2).
Never run the engine in an 
enclosed space as exhaust 
gases are poisonous.
Engine oil change : if you 
are changing the oil when 
the engine is hot, be careful 
not to scald yourself if the 
oil overflows.
When working in the engine 
compartment, ensure that 
the windscreen wiper stalk 
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
The engine may be hot 
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In 
addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Filling:  take care when 
topping up the oil that 
no oil drips onto engine 
components - risk of fire. 
Remember to refit the cap securely 
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes 
onto hot engine components.
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
Under no circumstances 
must the maximum fill level 
be exceeded: risk of damage to the 
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle  and 
contact an approved Dealer.

Coolant level
With the engine switched off and on 
level ground, the level when cold must 
be between the MINI and MAXI marks 
on reservoir  1.
Top this level up when cold  before it 
reaches the MINI mark.
No operations should be 
carried out on the cooling 
circuit when the engine is 
hot.
Risk of burns.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated, 
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1  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;
–  Store the kit in the toolkit and re- insert it properly under the driver’s 
seat.
–  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.

–  unscrew the valve cap on the rel-evant wheel and screw on the con-
tainer’s inflation adapter  1;
– adapter  2 must be connected to the 
vehicle accessories socket;
– press switch  4 to inflate the tyre to 
the recommended pressure (please 
refer to the information on “Tyre infla-
tion pressure” in Section 4);
–  after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop  inflating and read the pressure (on 
pressure gauge  5).
Note: while the container is empty-
ing (approximately 30 seconds), the 
pressure gauge  5 will briefly indicate 
a pressure of up to 6 bar. The pres-
sure will then drop.
– adjust the pressure: to increase  it, continue inflation with the kit; to 
reduce it, press button 6.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is 
not reached after 15 minutes, repair 
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
