HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING
Controls
The controls will depend on the vehicle equipment level.
- Distribution of air.
- Switching air conditioning on or off.
- Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.
- De-icing/demisting of the rear screen and, depending on the vehicle, the door mirrors
- Air temperature adjuster.
- 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 between 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.
