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 rear view mirrors.

5.

Adjusting the air temperature.

6.

Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode on

Information and advice on use Air conditioning: information 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

Move control 3 from "0" to "4". The further the control is positioned to the right, the greater the amount of air blown into the passenger compartment. To stop air from entering the passenger compartment, set the 3 control 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.

tip

Prolonged use of this control in position "0" may lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen as well as issues caused by non-renewal of the air in the passenger compartment.

Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode on .

The stalk 6 allows you to switch isolation of the passenger compartment/air recirculation on and off.

A warning light 7 lights up to confirm operation.

Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.

tip

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.

We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the 6 button.

Air recirculation operates as follows:

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

Rapid demisting

Set the controls:

  • 1 demisting 2_ALL_551_1_pictogramme.png ;
  • 3 maximum fan speed;
  • 6 external air.

Using the heating and air conditioning system increases the speed of demisting.

With the engine running, press the button 4, (the warning light comes on).

This function de-ices/demists the rear screen and the electric de-icing rearview mirrors (depending on the vehicle).

Depending on the vehicle, the function is stopped:

  • after a period of time set by the system (the indicator light disappears);
  • by pressing button 4, again (the warning light goes out).

Distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Turn control 1 to choose the distribution option.

2_ALL_519_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow is directed to the dashboard vents.

The air flow is directed towards the dashboard vents and the footwells.

2_ALL_513_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow is directed mainly to the feet of the vehicle occupants and to the windscreen demisting vents.

The air flow is distributed between front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.

The air flow is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.

Switching the air conditioning on or off

The air conditioning is switched on (indicator light lit) or off (indicator light off) using button 2

The system cannot be switched on if the control 3 is set to "0".

The air conditioning system is used for:

  • lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
  • eliminating condensation more quickly.

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