HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING

Controls
The controls will depend on the vehicle equipment level.

1. Distribution of air.
2. Switching air conditioning on or off.
3. Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
4. De-icing/demisting of the rear screen and, depending on the vehicle, the door mirrors
5. Air temperature adjuster.
6. Switching passenger compartment

Information and advice on use:
Refer to information on “Air conditioning: in-formation and advice on use”.

Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 5 to obtain the desired temperature. The further towards the red the slide is, the higher the temperature will be.

Adjusting the ventilation fan speed
Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further to the right it is positioned, the more air is blown into the passenger compartment. If you want to shut off the flow of air completely and stop the system, set control 3 to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventilation speed for the passenger compartment air is zero (vehicle stationary), you can however still feel a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.

Leaving this control in position 0 for prolonged periods can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.

Switching passenger compartment isolation mode
air recirculation mode on.
Bring lever 6 to position â.
Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is used to:

• To isolate the passenger compartment from the external atmosphere (e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);
  To bring the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly as possible.

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.
You are therefore advised to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control 6 to the right.

Rapid demisting
Turn controls 1, 3 and 6 to positions

• Air from the outside;
  Maximum fan speed;
  Demisting.

Using the climate control increases the speed of demisting.

Heated rear screen
With the engine running, press button 4 (the warning light comes on).
This function deices/demists the rear screen and the electric de-icing rearview mirrors (depending on the vehicle).
Depending on the vehicle, the function is stopped:

• Automatically after it has been running for 12 minutes (the indicator light goes out);
  By pressing button 4 again (the warn 8ing light goes out).

Distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Turn control 1 to choose the distribution option.
All the air flow is directed to the dashboard vents.
The air flow is directed towards the dashboard vents and the footwells.
The air flow is mainly distributed between the front and rear footwells and the dashboard vents. Close the dashboard vents to direct all the air to the foot wells.
The air flow is distributed be-tween all the air vents, the front side window demisting air vents, the windscreen demisting vents and them footwells.
All the air is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.

Switching air conditioning on or off
The air conditioning is switched on (indicator light illuminated) or off (indicator light extinguished) using button 2.
Activation is not possible if control 3 is set to 0.

The air conditioning system is used for:

• lower the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
  Eliminate condensation more quickly.

The air conditioning does not operate when the exterior temperature is low.

Fuel consumption increases when the air conditioning is being used (switch it off when it is not required).

AIR CONDITIONING: Information and Advice on Use

Fuel Consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving 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 environment
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.

Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.

Operating Faults
As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.

• Reduction in de-icing, demisting or air conditioning performance.
  This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge becoming clogged.
  No cold air is being produced. Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the vehicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.

Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage eyes or skin.

ADDITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING

When fitted, the vehicle has four adjust-able air vents 1 and an air-conditioning control 2.

Heating and air conditioning system
Move control 2 to vary the amount of cold air required.
The amount of air can only be adjusted if the basic air conditioning is operating (button 3).
Air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated without taking in air from the outside.

Button 3 has an operating warning light:

• Indicator light on, the function is switched on;
  Indicator light off, the function is switched off.

Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even for a short while. They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors. If any part of the body becomes trapped, reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.

One-touch windows
When the vehicle is equipped with this function, the one-touch mode works in addition to the operation of the electric windows described previously.

  Fully and briefly lift the relevant switch: the window will close completely.

Pressing the switch again while the window is moving will stop its movement.

Special features
If the window detects resistance when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a few centimetres.
If you use the switch while the window is moving, it stops working.

Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window, the system reverts to normal mode: pull the switch concerned up to fully close the window, then hold the switch (still on the closure side) for three seconds then lower and raise the window fully to reinitialize the system.
If necessary, contact an approved Dealer.

Closing windows can cause serious injury.

Avoid resting any objects against a half-open window: there is a risk that the electric window could be damaged.
