REVERSING CAMERA (1/2)

1
Note:
– ensure that the reversing camera is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, etc.);
– depending on the vehicle, certain settings can be adjusted from the
touch screen 2 . Refer to the hand-
book for the equipment.OperationWhen going into reverse gear (and up
to around 5 seconds after shifting into
another gear), the camera 1 placed
next to the lights transmits a view of
the rear surroundings of the vehicle on
the touch screen 2, accompanied by a
mobile and fixed gauge.
This system is initially used with the aid
of several gauges (mobile for trajectory
and fixed for distance). When the red
zone is reached, use the bumper image
to stop accurately.This function is an additio-
nal aid. It cannot, therefore,
under any circumstances
replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
The driver should always pay at-
tention to sudden incidents during
driving: always ensure that there
are no moving obstacles (such as
a child, animal, pram, bicycle, etc.)
or small, narrow objects such as
stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/4)
Operation
With gear lever 1 in position P, start the
engine.
To move out of that position, you must
depress the brake pedal (the
c warn-
ing light on the display 4 comes on)
before pressing the unlocking button 2.
With your foot on the brake pedal
(warning light
c in display 4 goes
out), move the lever out of position P.

Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in auto-
matic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and en-
gaging D or R.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.

Operating faults
When three horizontal bars on the dis-
play 3 come on accompanied by the

© or ®, this in-
dicates a gearbox fault. Contact an au-
thorised dealer as soon as possible. To do this, unclip the base of the gear
lever
5 starting on the side below the
air conditioning controls. Then raise the
button 6 and simultaneously press the
unlock button 2 on the lever.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before

Note: the air conditioning is not opera-
tional below 2°C.
If you want to shut off the flow of air, set
the control 3 to “0”. The system is de-
activated: the ventilation speed is zero
(vehicle stationary). You can, however,
still feel a slight flow of air when the ve-
hicle is moving.Adjusting the amount of air
blown into the passenger
compartment
Move control 3. The further the control is positioned to the right, the greater the
amount of air blown into the passenger
compartment.
Demisting
To activate demisting, position con-
trols 1 and 3 to position
W, and
control 6 to position
. If demisting
remains incomplete, press button 2 to

red the slide is, the higher the tempera-
ture will be.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn the control 5 to the right.
Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
With the engine running, press
button 5. The integrated indicator light
comes on.

Prolonged use of position “0” 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.

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).

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.

Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This function quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 8 to stop the heated rear
screen operating, and the integrated in-
dicator goes out.
To exit this function, press button 3
or 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.
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.);
– the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger
compartment temperature quicker.
1
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
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 the control 6 to “OFF” to stop the
system. To start it, turn the control
6
again, then adjust the fan speed or
press the button 1.

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.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
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.
Maintenance
Refer 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.
