tip

Some buttons have an operating light indicating their operative state.

Activating the system

When the vehicle is started, the system returns to the last programme used.

The system is also functional when the vehicle is stationary with the engine on.

Raise control 14 to the desired ventilation speed, then control 11 to activate the system.

Stopping the system

Press the button 7:

  • the air conditioning or heating stops automatically;
  • the air ventilation speed in the passenger compartment is zero;
  • – there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.

This position should not normally be used.

Switching the air conditioning on or off

The control 11 can be used to activate (indicator light on) or deactivate (indicator light off) the air conditioning.

The system cannot be switched on if the ventilation power is zero.

The air conditioning system is used for:

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

Recommendation: to optimise vehicle range, deactivate the air conditioning when the outside temperature is comfortable.

Adjusting the ventilation fan speed

Press or raise the control 14 to adjust the ventilation speed according to the comfort level desired.

Adjusting the air temperature

Press the button 15 then use the cursor on the multimedia screen to adjust the air temperature. The further towards the red the slide is, the higher the temperature will be.

When the air conditioning system is used for long periods, it may begin to feel cold. To increase the temperature, press 15 then raise the cursor upwards on the multimedia screen.

Adjusting the distribution of air in the passenger compartment

Press 8 one or more times to select the air distribution. The air distribution selected 6 is displayed on the multimedia screen. The positions are in the following order:

2_ALL_532_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow comes from the windscreen demisting vents and the demisting vents of the front side windows.

2_ALL_402_1_pictogramme.png

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

2_ALL_109_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow comes mainly through the dashboard air vents.

2_ALL_111_1_pictogramme.png

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

2_ALL_108_1_pictogramme.png

The air flow comes mainly through the vents located at the occupants' feet (underneath the dashboard and/or underneath the front seats).

"Clear View" function

Press the button 13: the built-in indicator light comes on.

This system quickly demists and de-ices the windscreen and the front side windows. It requires the automatic usage of the air-conditioning or the heating.

Note: it automatically deactivates air recirculation.

To exit the function, press the button 13 again or select the desired setting (distribution, ventilation speed, recirculation).

Rear screen de-icing and demisting

Press the button 12: the built-in indicator light comes on. This function enables rapid demisting/de-icing of the rear screen and the rear view mirrors (on equipped vehicles).

To exit this function, press button 12 again. Demisting automatically stops.

"A/C MAX" function

The "A/C MAX" function enables the air conditioning system to work to its maximum potential. It can be activated for a short period to quickly cool the passenger compartment.

This function involves automatic modifications:

  • temperature programmed to fully cold;
  • distribution of air to the occupants;
  • air flow at its maximum power;
  • activation of the air conditioning;
  • air recirculation.

To activate the function, press the button 9. The indicator light on the button 9 comes on. Deactivate ECO mode for best performance.

To deactivate this function, press again on button 9 or button 14. The indicator light on the button 9 goes out.

Recommendations

In the event of freezing, manually de-ice the windscreen using a scraper rather than the de-icing/demisting function in order to reduce your energy consumption.

Switching the air recirculation on

Press button 10: the built-in indicator light comes on. Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation operates as follows:

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

Demisting/de-icing will still take priority over the air recirculation.

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 button 10 again.
