(vehicle stationary). You can, however,
still feel a slight flow of air when the ve-
hicle is moving.Adjusting the amount of air

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.

3.11
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.

One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
Briefly press or pull the switch 1 as far
as it will go: the window will wind down
or up fully. Pressing the switch again
stops the window moving.
Note: if the driver’s window detects re-
sistance when closing (e.g. tree branch,
etc.), it stops and then lowers again by
a few centimetres.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.
These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol in it, leaving a child,
adult who is not self-sufficient or a
pet inside, even for a short while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine
or activating equipment (such as
the gear lever or electric windows).
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.

1A
Deactivate the Stop and

tion performed in the engine
compartment.The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. Risk of injury.
As the engine is located under the
boot, do not slide or store anything

4.3
Reading the oil levelThe 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 ensure that
the maximum level is not exceeded
(risk of engine damage). Refer to the
following pages.
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
A
B
C
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
– Remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never go below the “min” A or above the
“max” B.
Once the operation has been com-
pleted, ensure that the dipstick is
pushed in as far as it will go or that
the “cap-type dipstick” is completely
screwed in.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Consult your approved Dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic conver-
ter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle and
contact an approved Dealer.
