The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.

Automatic operation

1. Automatic comfort programme

Press the "AUTO" button.

The indicator lamp in the button comes on.

We recommend the use of this mode:

it permits automatic and optimised adjustment of all of the functions, passenger compartment temperature, air flow, air distribution and air recirculation, in accordance with the comfort value that you have chosen.

This system is designed to operate effectively in all seasons, with the windows closed.

When the engine is cold, to prevent too great a distribution of cold air, the air flow will reach its optimum level gradually.

In cold weather, it favours the distribution of warm air to the windscreen, side windows and footwells only.

2. Driver's side adjustment
3. Passenger side adjustment

The driver and front passenger can each adjust the temperature to their requirements.

The value indicated on the display corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right respectively to decrease or increase this value.

A setting around the value 21 provides optimum comfort. However, depending on your requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is normal.

You are advised to avoid a left / right setting difference of more than 3.

On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is no need to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. The system corrects the difference in temperature automatically and as quickly as possible.

4. Automatic visibility programme

The automatic comfort programme may not be sufficient to quickly demist or defrost the windscreen and side windows (humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).

In this case, select the automatic visibility programme.

The system automatically controls the air conditioning, the air flow and the air intake and provides optimum distribution of the ventilation to the windscreen and side windows.

To switch it off, press the "visibility"

button again or press the "AUTO"

button, the indicator lamp in the button goes off and the indicator lamp in the "AUTO" button comes on.

With Stop & Start, when demisting has been activated, the STOP mode is not available.

Manual operation

If you wish, you can make a different choice from that offered by the system by changing a setting. The other functions will still be controlled automatically.

Pressing the "AUTO" button returns the system to completely automatic operation.

For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed the minimum value 14 or the maximum value 28.

Turn control 2 or 3 to the left until "LO" is displayed or to the right until "HI" is displayed.

5. Air conditioning On / Off

Press this button to switch off the air conditioning.

Switching the system off could result in discomfort (humidity, condensation).

Press this button again to return to automatic operation of the air conditioning. The indicator lamp in the "A/C" button comes on.

6. Air distribution adjustment

Press one or more buttons to direct the air flow towards:

- the windscreen and side windows (demisting or defrosting),
- the windscreen, the side windows and the vents,
- the windscreen, the side windows, the vents and the footwells,
- the vents and the footwells,
- the vents,
- the footwells,
- the windscreen, the side windows and the footwells.

7. Air flow adjustment

Turn this control to the left to decrease the air flow or to the right to increase the air flow.

The air flow indicator lamps, between the two fans, come on progressively in relation to the value requested.

8. Air intake / Air recirculation

Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.

Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from exterior odours and smoke.

As soon as possible, press this button again to permit the intake of outside air and prevent the formation of condensation. The indicator lamp on the button switches off.

9. Mono-zone / Dual-zone

Press this button to equalise the comfort value on the passenger's side with that on the driver's side (mono zone). The indicator lamp in the button comes on.

Switching the system off

Turn the air flow control to the left until all of the indicator lamps go off.

This action switches off the air conditioning and the ventilation.

Temperature related comfort is no longer guaranteed but a slight flow of air, due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.

Turn the air flow dial to the right or press the "AUTO" button to reactivate the system with the values set before it was switched off.

Avoid prolonged operation in interior air recirculation mode or driving for long periods with the system off (risk of condensation and deterioration of the air quality).
